It's been too long! I have been resting a bit after finishing Ocarina of Time. A good portion of that time was spent hunting for jobs, which is more time consuming than I expected. Well, it finally paid off this morning, as I received (and accepted) an offer for what will be my first real job! I'll be a PHP programmer at a small company, so it will be fun. I start Monday, and while I do not yet know what my hours will be, I do know it will severely cut into my free time. Rather than further reduce my mapping activity, however, it should serve to increase it. Having a set schedule of when I can and can't do fun stuff lets me focus, which is why my productivity generally fell when I was away from classes.
Anyway, I have been doing other things in my off-time as well. I've been looking into the internal files of
Wario Land: Shake It! a lot this past week. In fact, I just submitted to Jon a set of quick map rips from the game done with the help of my friend. No level maps just yet, though, as I haven't found a way to rip the foregrounds effectively.
I've also finished a custom model of mine that I started working on.
If you liked my SMRPG maps, you'll like this.
