Sanctuary Game Studios
Made the company public on facebook, after keeping it private for a while. From there, until the website goes live, most of the updates on games, as well as workshops being given would be found. I want to make the artificial culture in the middle east stronger, with creating a better competitive culture that is supported by the general populace. And then, when it reaches a point where my vision is moving in the right direction with the company, with both points A) of the company being able to grow and sustain itself, and B) that the company is at a state where it can also start the sub-branches, I would move to another country and start a branch there. And keep doing that until the ball is set rolling with other members to where they can do it themselves.
And in the end, each country would have their own Sanctuary Game Studios branched off there, teaching people how to make games, developing unique games of their own, and supporting the growth of game developers themselves. With that, it doesn’t become a plea to the governments and countries to try to raise the quality of living by themselves, but instead it becomes the company itself taking the leash in its’ hands and forcing a positive change in the living and intellectual standards that each person ought to be able to have.
To be able to do that, that would be fucking hot. But those are my aspirations for the company, the goals are more down to earth to reach that state.

Computer died
So hi. My computer died, and with that half the process I go through with creating the art, putting the line art on the computer and continuing to paint then print it out, repaint by hand is pretty much postponed. Was able to borrow a friend’s mini-laptop for a week or so, so I can make these posts and what not, but I really wish I was able to reach 200 paintings even.
The workshop has been doing alright, could have had more people but that’s alright. Another one is planned during the first week of November, probably with a focus on the landscaping design aspect of worldbuilding. Yesterday, during the workshop, time really flew by too fast over the three hours, and I really wish we had more time to go over writing out the different aspects of the worlds we were creating. On the third day, we took the ideas for games we made on the first day and made traditional maps of the locations, and then focused it, then work on the history of the area and the building composition and stuff. Last night, at the end of the workshop, I asked them to re-visit the original idea that they pulled up with the game, now that they created the world that it is based in, and we’ll see how the games changed today at 7 when we are working on the character design on the story and narrative front.
But the next workshop should be between 5 to 10 people. Not more, as there wouldn’t be enough time to go through with everything. And I’m looking for another laptop in the meantime. And also looking for a place closer to Hamra, since that would cut down transportation costs each day.
And the end of the current game competition is coming up. I need to get the hard drive of my last laptop and make it into an external, so I can access the game and stuff, and release it / submit the final to the competition. So priorities are kind of set out. But the workshop for today, the last day, is in 2 hours – so I need to double check that everything is perfect. But that is what’s up with me now, (in addition to working on the new game) in lieu of the gigantic absence.
So yeah, need to try to sell the stuff I have with me now, I mean, 170 paintings IS rather a good choice to pick from instead of a few dozen. And if I can sell that, I can probably have enough extra money to fix everything this month and go see the family in Jordan for a few days. It has been a while.
Inkblot Art
Playing with inkblots. Tried spraying them down and then make monsters out of them. This isn’t a monster though – but I’m going to try to bullshit anyways and say it is.
