I have some exciting times ahead of me as I will drop out of my workplace at Theater Bremen in summer 2014. Mostly due to personal reasons and because I started to come home angry every evening I move back to my home island where I have some real estate and will work as a freelancer. I will mainly work in audio engineering and audio installation as well as on some audio software that I planned for some time now. Generally I want to be able to free myself up for projects of all kind more, I have to say ānoā too often because of the theater work times atm.
I put this out here because this might of course also mean that I will find less (contiguous) time for jME during phases where I have lots to do. The work at the theater with some rehearsals that only required me to move a fader or press play here or there allow me to put in a lot of āin betweenā time to the forum and coding the engine. I do want to continue working on the engine and eventually even make some money with it, be it with games or assets, but I canāt make it top priority right away as its not really a safe bank if you know what I mean
So as most of my planning time goes to this topic already I just thought Iād let you know whats up. And of course also that from summer 2014 latest you can contact me for audio engineering, sound design, music composition etc for your games, too
On a more serious noteā¦ there are islands in Germany?
Seriously now, thx for all the great tools and stuff (yah, taking a short-cut :D) and help on the forums. Selfishly hoping youāll still get lots of free-time ^^.
Ah! That explains why weāve seen less posts from you. I thought the noobs (us mainly) had gotten to you.
As for getting back home angry after work, yeah, Iāve been there and itās a good thing to bow out and do something else. When that happened I had this recurring dream where I was killing my bossā¦ Was time to move on before making it true. Anyway, I do get where youāre coming from. Itās a tough decision to make; going from a relatively solid situation to where you donāt know what will happen.
This sounds very similar to my own situation, I am planning to do something similar and go freelance.
On the other hand, I guess there will come a time when the āsafe bankā software is ticking over nicely and paying the bills and it wonāt need any major version updates for a few months. Then full dedication can be given to making 3d magic without any āreal-lifeā work and annoying bosses/customers in the way. I certainly hope that is how it works for normen.
Thanks guysānāgals! Yes, it is 2014 and the island is called āSyltā, its in the very very far north-west of Germany and considered the āisland of the rich and the beautifulā, a high profile touristic center, Iāll also make some money with renting rooms for tourists. My free time already goes towards this whole thing for preparations etc. so I already have fewer time, hence I thought I should mention it. Monkeychopsā rundown basically hits the nail on the head, I hope this only is the calm before the storm
