So..about that website...
Well it's a day away from april 1 and the site was not a joke it is up right now but I have a lot of work with getting all the portfolio work up in web form so that's my new goal. Whether or not it will be up tomorrow remains to be seen at this point, i'll try. I have the three joined documents telling the story and gameplay of Paranoia Rising and i hope that will help push my creativity with possible ojb offers but my true baby is the Spec script that I have had nothing but fun doing.
I am working on finishing a team game for my senior project. It is called Kendo General Hospital: Xtreme Gurney Adventure. Think Crazy Taxi meets Katamari. Use of physics and time based mission. The player is encouraged to hit objects and people as they move around the hospital.

Site is up in beta form
I have begun the process of getting the site up as a shell so that I can tinker with it and find anything I might have missed. I have just returned from a IGDA meeting not two hours ago, which was both informative and depressing. After seeing and hearing about the state of the games industry I feel like they want to keep young potential employees out. I don't get why it's so hard to get a job doing something you love or why there's like some kind of trick to even be looked at. I have the passion and I love doing the work but all these people either in the industry or trying to be keep telling me how hard or selective it is. What's the point of getting this degree and trying so hard with documents/mods and my website if when I'm looked at (if I'm looked at) they load the site simply to close it? What more can I do to share my ideas and work to be apart of a world I love?

WEBSITE UNDER WAY (goes live 4/1/08)
I have been hard at work getting this site the way I want it and not how everyone else has been telling me to do it. I feel if the site fails to explain a little bit about me to you then I don't feel I should have anything to prove to you in the first place...anyways here are the four of the final five pages I should have online for you to interact with soon!
Here is the main page you will see after typing the URL for www.RJAlinks.com. I can see you might be caught off guard by the art style but I made it then walked away for a while. I took about an hour away from it and came back and acted like it wasn't mine and I was really drawn to it more, so I have gone this route because it is very cool and I'm kind of a horror buff so it fits well with parts of who I am...right then.
This is as you can see the About me page that tries and show you a little bit of my humor and creative sense of writing while trying to get some information out as to why I want to have a career in game design but this blog is the true home for getting to know me through my updates on the site or current works I'm doing.
This is the Portfolio page which isn't 100% done yet but the layout is there. I want to have thumbnails of my work that will link or open with both the project and a file to download. This will be my best work but as with all work I never fell its complete. I feel I could always add something to make it better after it's done but I have gotten to an area where I'm happy with this work the most.
The Contact page...It's pretty cut and dry sadly....but if you look in both this page and the about me page I have my personal art stuck in the page almost hidden or changed slightly for the website but not to worry my work will also be in its final form on the portfolio and Blog link/other project page (yet to be made) so you can see the final image too!
GOES LIVE! 4/1/08*

My weekend to Vermont ...for game design....
So last weekend I presented my portfolio to a class but it resulted in minimal reaction. I'm still working hard to finish a pretty good site but as of now I'm still learning HTML. I have the Resumé up and cover letter finished but iI really want to focus on my documents. I want to get them to a more finished state that im proud of. As of right now i have a working Spec Script for Dead Planet ( my claim to fame as it were) and a three part package for my design "Paranioa Rising"

The ball starts rolling
What you see before you is a lame attempt at a portfolio page that will have mainly thumbnails to the work.
So here is the start of my about me page. This page will link to this blog which is not the way i would have liked to do it but it works for now. I want to have this blog appear right in my site so you can see my updates right away and any work i have done via that be a new script or level mod....but I keep running into walls...but i'll figure it out.
