Plan for monki (Wesley Beary)

Well. I have been finished with classes for a few days, but the actual graduation ceremony is not until Monday (Why a weekday? I have not the foggiest). So I will very shortly hold a BS in Computer Science and be trying to make a living peddling my wares. That said, coolege has kept me busy enough lately that I have been nigh invisible around here.

I hope to correct that in the coming months. I will be doing some consulting type work on a couple projects with the good folks of GG whose details I can not (unfortunately) reveal. Needless to say its some neat stuff that should be cool and useful to many of you.

On the side I also hope to both be more visible and involved in the community as a whole and also to start on my first game project. Which should allow me, if nothing else, to have a project that I can actually tell others about. That would be refreshing to say the least.

My non-disclosure dismay and real world coping despair aside, I'm rather looking forward to what the future holds. I am greatful for the opportunity that I have been able to create for myself (with ample aide from the GarageGames guys toward my lowly internness). I'm excited to be leaving college and going directly into making games for a living. It has been my dream job for as long as I can remember and it seems like its finally coming true. I just hope that I can maintain it and go on to actually create the kinds of games I've always wanted to do (and avoid a real job), wish me luck...

Congrats Wes! You've got enough cool projects in the works I think you'll be able to avoid having a real job for sure. :) That'd be awesome. But you worked hard while you were in school and you definitely deserve it.

Congratulations! You're a lucky guy to get to pursue games right out of college... :)
