Since joining this forum, how do you think you've changed? Not necessarily as an effect of this forum, but in general since you joined.
I am tempted to simply show a screenshot of my first map and compare it to a screenshot of one of my latest maps. But that's a terribly shallow response.
I joined Cutstuff 3 years ago, having just abandoned sprite comics. I originally did this with the intention of moving on to some other medium (writing or original art), but inevitably fell short due to lack of skill, time and motivation. Over the years my creative ideas have developed immensely, emerging in notebooks, sketchbooks and audio recordings (I'm interested in music composition now, too), but I still have hardly anything concrete. I'd like to think I'm closer to doing something worthwhile (read: profitable) with my creative ideas than I was 3 years ago, but I'm not there just yet.
In these 3 years on Cutstuff I have met dozens of people, most of which I communicate with on a near-daily basis, and I'd like to think I've befriended a few, too. And yet I hardly know anything about anyone here unrelated to MM8BDM. Perhaps I should rectify this, but at the same time I have little time for it currently.
Outside of Cutstuff, I have started to enjoy personal reflection (as evident in this post), but I doubt I can come up with any conclusive ideas about myself yet. I at least believe my sociability has increased significantly (particularly in this last year), but at the same time I have become more isolated in my home. I wonder if this has reflected on how I present myself here.
My skills of critical evaluation (being able to articulate my criticisms in particular) have definitely increased through being involved with several facets of content creation for MM8BDM. I suppose these skills develop regardless through regular education, but I'd like to think it helped.
