Did it. :D
I'm officially enrolled into my college of choice. I just got a call today. Even better, the drawings I submitted were approved and I can start my first semester in the Game Art & Design program. I'm so happy I could puke rainbows.
But now that means I have until October to gather the necessary supplies, try and get loads of scholarships, and draw draw draw so I can get even better by then.
Working on my own game concept is fun. I'm not seriously going to try and make it into a game. Rather, it's like I'm using it to find my personal strengths and weaknesses and get a feel for how they're made. Mostly I'm focusing on concept designs for all the characters. As for modding, I don't know yet. I'm may throw it into my Ideas folder to save for later. Maybe I can use them in the Game Production Team later on in my senior year.
I'm so excited. I'm so very happy and excited. I do have a goal beyond college - it's one of those "shoot for the moon" things. It may not be do-able, but it's definitely something that will land me "among the stars" if I work hard enough.
Enough quote splicing for today. Tomorrow is a new day. 8D
