Opening Post!

I guess this is more like a collection of random thoughts on various subjects, rather than a coherent blog. The thoughts will range from games, via games, and back to games. Playing, designing, development, and enjoyment of games. Perhaps a bit of sci-fi on the side, as well. Besides all that, the primary reason for me creating this space is to showcase my 3ds max work in a way that allows me to comment on the development of the scenes and assets.

I have some practical experience in the field of games, both through my university course - Games Computing (Software Development) at the University of Lincoln in the UK - and my time as a games tester at Babel Media in Brighton, UK.


The name Mieck in the title is in reference to my Final Fantasy XI avatar, a Mithra by the name of Mieck on Siren server. It's pronounced ME-ECK. A bit like a cat coughing up a hairball, if you say it fast. In addition to the 3d work I'll include here, and the ramblings on games design, I'll also be keep a section on Mieck's progress through the virtual world of Vana'diel.

Ok, that's enough for now. Guess I better start actually setting this place up.
