Going Forward
🕑 Added 2023-11-16 23:29:34 +0000 UTCI took a long break in-between posts, and while I wish I could be more productive, I also feel I needed this time to gain a fresh perspective and new inspirations.
As of what happened recently: I moved to a different country - unfortunately, the country where I lived has stopped issuing visa extensions, so I had no other choice but to leave. Then, upon arrival I fell very sick for three weeks in an unfamiliar, uncomfortable place, and barely recovered - it was very tough. After that, I spent some time searching for a new home and, after I found it, I was busy cleaning, repairing and buying all the necessary furniture for it. Moving across the globe and settling down once again is always very stressful, I wish I had a permanent place in a decent country to get a residence in.
All what transpired forced me to take a break from the never-ending compulsion to create things and to take a broader look at everything. I had a lot of time to think on what I want to do with my universe, different creative projects and my life going forward. I also spent some time in VRChat and experienced something truly amazing - it filled me with plenty of inspiration!
I have a lot to say! But, to make it easy and not overwhelming to read, this log is split in several chapters, each will be posted every day-or-two.
In the first chapter Going Wild, I talk about my personal, vivid experiences and powerful feelings I have discovered thanks to VR and some good friends I made there. It's about what inspires me to create, about what gives me ideas how can I better express my love to Dragons and how to share it with all the people who follow my art.
Then, in the next chapter Going Virtual, I devise a plan on how I will use both VRChat and, later on, my renewed game project to advance Dragotheria universe beyond just one game/platform, while keeping it small, manageable and simple. The goal is to make my characters, worlds and all the lewd content available for people to play with and experience immediately, without waiting for the game to be developed, all by cleverly re-using the same work in two (or more) places.
And lastly I close off with the chapter Going Public, where I bring out a problem of my lack of public presence and advertisement. I also talk about how I'm overhauling Discord server and the Patreon page, planning community events, preparing a future for my art, animations, commissions.
… Continued in the next chapter Going Wild…
