Some notes and observations regarding the massively multiplayer online games space, with focus on the games I happen to play.

Do it yourself

I have started to get into a "creative wannabe" phase recently. It started when I realized that some of the City of Villains/Heroes made good use of the demo record and play functionality in the game, such as this music video and this comedy piece .

Basically one can record any sequence in game, which will then be stored as textual commands in a file. That file can then be replayed to show the recorded sequence - and since it is a text file, it can also be edited. Started to set up a family photo of my villain alts and have then started to see if I could make a movie of my own. Since I never have even tried to make a movie ever before, not even with a camcorder, I think I will probably have a bit to learn.

But small steps and I might actually get there eventually. Started with a storyboard and have a basic idea what I want to do at least.
