It appears I've been on a nearly two year hiatus from this blog. I first started this blog during my Undergraduate studies as a way to try and get some sort of internet presence and to document my work and progress. That went well for a little while, also using this blog to express my opinions on other areas of life as well as my studies. Then, apparently I lost momentum.
Nonetheless, I'm kick-starting this puppy back into regular action. A lot has happened since I last wrote about anything here, including graduating from my B.A and a year and a half later my M.A in Games Design. Now I'm an intern with - hopefully!- a bright future awaiting me. I had a academic specific blog for my M.A studies, wherein I researched the relationships between characters, players and game spaces, resulting in a project that I'm continuing to develop on my own, actually. You can traipse through my reflective journal here if it at all interests you: http://fmdalby-ma.blogspot.co.uk/
This blog will remain a journal of everything, but will indeed focus heavily on my artwork as well and anything to do with games and Games Design principles that interest me. There are a few points of research that I did during my M.A that I'd like to revisit, and over the coming months while I am working towards my internship and another unspecified project, as well as my own, I will be sharing all my thoughts, views and hypotheses that arise during that time.
So if you are interested in the finer points of Games Design, feel free to follow this blog because I will be raising a number of discussions. It's my aim to share my recent knowledge with as many enthusiasts as I can, so I've realsied it's also about time to get on websites like Wordpress, or Tumblr and ArtStation wherein I can share my artwork. There are plenty of people who must be in the position I've recently been in, especially when trying to break into the games industry if that's what you want particularly, so I want nothing more than to share my experiences and to make the search and the journey a little easier for other aspiring game designers and artists.

So, without further delay, it's time to jump back into the fray.
See you soon
