Hello to everyone that follows me or just found this,
I'm here to talk about my plans going into 2023 on Newgrounds.
Short intro for anyone who doesn't know me yet:
I'm AhWham but I go by Wham, I am an Artist, Game Dev, and Beginner VA. I've been drawing since I could remember, I spent 4 years learning the Game Design Process, and I have a background in Stage Acting with 5+ years experience.
PLANS FOR ART
At the moment I have a Ko-Fi set up for Commissions, but it's a little lack luster and not very appealing. Sometime in the near future I'd like to renovate my page to provide more options, more details for clients to fill out, and examples of my better work to showcase so that clients can get a better understanding of my art style and what the end product would look like.
Other plans would include making short comics in order to get over a personal hurdle I've had for a while now. It's hard for me to commit to a comic idea, I keep getting side tracked or I get too bored with the concept too quickly. I have an idea for a short comic story based in the DC universe so making that should be fun and a nice exercise in story telling and my own artistic abilities.
I want to keep drawing my own characters as well as environments and perspective shots to further sharpen those skills throughout 2023.
PLANS FOR VOICE ACTING
In 2022, I put out a collab post on Newgrounds saying I would VA in projects for free, that is still true and will most likely remain true though the new year. While I have 5+ years of experience with stage acting and playing minor or major roles, the field of Voice Acting is a new frontier that I am still learning. Voice Acting is more of a hobby rather than a job to me, so at this time I won't be charging a dime mainly because I don't know how much my voice is really worth.
I made a Voice Acting Pitch last year and it's kinda lack luster, it's a one take of me talking so it's nothing special. Here's the link of you want to hear that:
I plan to make a new one this year, this time more show showing off the voices I can do and you can use in your animation/game/whatever.
Like I said, I am still open to give my voice to any project you have in development so you can message me here if you have something. I've been in only one thing at the moment and the animation isn't finished to my knowledge.
PLANS ON GAME DEVELOPMENT
I've made and published 2 games so far on Newgrounds, one being apart of the Mobile Jam in 2022 called "Flyghtmare" and another being a short project made to familiarize myself with the Godot game engine called "Fling Cube". I have a bigger game in the works now, I'm chipping away at it bit by bit just trying to get the core game loop down before I make anything pretty. Right now it's a bunch of basic shapes and some targets but I plan to publish it here and to Itch.io for download.
The game is a FPS where you shoot 6 targets with 6 bullets, but every room you go to get progressively weirder like you're jumping through alternate realities. I haven't written up a story yet but I'd like to include a simple one to give that much more of an incentive to see it out to the end.
The game is under the project name "Six Shooter" so look out for updates on that
I'm not sure on a release date as I'm kinda tied up with College at the moment, just know I plan for a release this year and I'll give a more concrete date when I'm closer to being done.
Happy 2023
