As much as I loved helping bring people and business' ideas to life through their website, I unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to stop doing active web development as it took up too much time and energy.
Before I was married (and to some extent, while I was married but before my son was born), I had absolutely no reservations sacrificing all my free time and sleep to squeeze in just one more project, squeezing every possible minute out of my life to fulfill my creative desires. I have different priorties now, and as I get older, it doesn't get any easier to put myself through that torture. That being said, my family now comes first and if that means I need to tone down my side work and hobbies, then that is the choice I have to make.
Thank you all again for the wonderful 5 years of development work, every one of my clients and customers helped make me the developer I am today.
Consultation on your video game project completely depends on the project and what is needed.
If you're looking for a custom beat, beats start at $50 for a 3:30 long song (price may increase for songs longer than 4:00). Mixing one song is $100. Mastering one song is $50. If you have written lyrics and want a song produced from scratch, I can produce a song for $500, mixed and mastered included (ready for release).
Photo editing depends on the work needed done. Photo restorations and photo composites cost $100 per photo, touch ups are $10 per photo.
If you're in need of an editor for a batch of photos (wedding/event photos, etc.), contact me directly and we can talk about cost for events like that.
It is quite a mouthful, isn't it?
Generally speaking, if there are any tasks that require technology, creativity, design, etc, chances are I've taken a considerate amount of time studying it. My life philosophy has always revolved around solving problems using creative thinking in the most practical / efficient way possible, usually via technology. This ranges from highly technical skills like programming and IT troubleshooting to highly creative skills like drawing, digital painting, 3D modeling, photo / video editing, and beyond.
So where does skill acquisition come in? Even though I consider myself a generalist in all things technology, the biggest reason I am so is because learning / acquiring new skills is in and of itself my greatest skill. In other words, I am extremely intuitive by nature. Breaking down and reconstructing rulesets for any given skillset is something I excel at; it doesn't even necesssarily have to be technology related, however the area of technology is where I'm most comfortable.
That being said, if there's something technology or creative oriented that you don't see listed here, just ask me about it! If I haven't touched a particular piece of software/hardware, chances are I can learn quickly enough to assist you with your problem.
If it's technology related, chances are yes. However, there a few areas of technology I won't touch; namely blockchain and cryptocurrency. This is for personal reasons so there is no point in trying to convice me on this. However, if it has to with any other type of software, feel free to ask and I can inform you on my capabilities in that area!
I'm trying to get on a consistent schedule for making regular updates to released software, however at this point in time I have no time table for anything set in stone. I'll be creating a specific area of this website for product updates, documentation, and bug reporting in the near future, so check back occasionally!
I always make it a point to stay in contact with clients on a regular basis, and I will always let you know if there will be long delays in communication ahead of time (unless it's such a dire emergency that I can't even get to a computer).
If you feel I haven't responded in a timely manner, please try again and wait 48 hours. If after that point I still haven't gotten back to you, there may be a problem with the current form of communication somewhere along the line. I try my best to provide alternative routes of communication after establishing a relationship with a client so please try all alternative avenues before assuming the worst.
