Huff, indeed!~ I'd like to massage that tongue sometime if they don't mind.~~ ^^

It might even come with the bonus risk of becoming a snack if you aren't careful! XP

Honestly, I wouldn't mind feeding prey to this guy!~ By the way, are you into roleplay? I ask because I think it would be fun to RP with you sometime. :D

Not personally. Plus, no experience and no time to spare for it XP I'm flattered tho! ^^

That's okay, I can teach you what I know when you have the time and if you're willing. I can even help you with coming up with new ideas for art with you through either RP or discussion. I have a journal that talks about this, it's my most recent one if you want to check it out.

I just started college a few days ago, I genuinely have zero free time for a new hobby, and a hefty backlog of art projects 😅 Appreciate the offer tho! :3

That's alright. The offer will still stand after you're finished with college and art projects. ;3 I hope you don't mind me asking, but what are you studying?

Thanks ^^ I'm going for Game Art!

You're welcome. Sweet! ^^ What company(ies) are you planning to work for?

Not sure yet, I would honestly love to end up on a smaller indie team I think 🤔

Ah, okay. Just wondering, but what do you mean by an indie team?

Just any smaller group/studio that's got more creative control than studios that are owned by big devs. :P

I thought that bigger few m devs had more creative control since they've been developing games for longer than smaller companies. Why is it the opposite?

Bigger devs have more money & resources on the line, so often the overhead management will make decisions to change/remove 'risky' themes or content. They want to assure a return profit, a financial success, and to make the most profit they need games to be directed at the biggest audience possible. Which tends to result in games with strong gimmicks/mechanics, but weaker stories (to be more palatable). Whereas a small team is (mostly) limited only by the physical resources, and can delve into whatever niche content they want to. Obviously there's some exceptions to every rule, too :P
Hopefully that makes sense, it's like 2am and I've been awake much too long XP
