It's hard for me to say good things about games I like and bad things about games I don't like. But I will try.

I played a lot of Rimworld and the binding of isaac afterbirth. Both with lots of mods. I am enjoying the experience of both. I also finished Technobabylon. I love wadjet eye games and suggest everyone check out technobabylon if they enjoy the social commentary of black mirror.

It's early but I don't know I think that's on you. If they put a warning in the notes, did an audio warning, and a video warning, then I think it's your fault for listening to it at that point. I can understand having it in the background and not paying attention but I think that's just an unfortunate thing that happened and the content creators did everything they could to warn you.

I'm on episode 8 and starting to get disappointed. The main character kind of sucks but I was enjoying the other characters. Now I'm on episode 8 and they tried to get "deep" and....yeah no. It was very badly written. The writer doesn't seem to have much life experience and it showed. Also, they really threw in a love story from nowhere. First they're just friends then next scene they're suddenly attracted to eachother. I think something must have been cut out because it made no sense.

However, I do like the Ward character. He has a nice arc to him so far.

I don't think Mary is going to GB. That seems like it would be really awkward. "Goodbye everyone! It will be so sad to never see you again." *takes elevator downstairs*. "Hello everyone!"

I greatly prefer health packs or nothing at all (like CS). Unless I am not in the game for the shooting. I play Uncharted because I like the story and comedy, the shooting is just an added bonus.

@armaan8014: Ok yeah, things are always more difficult in real life. Well if you don't already have a website of your own then I'd still suggest making one. Just to have one place where people can see all of your stuff. And any jobs who will hire you for your artistic skills will want to see a portfolio. So creating a good portfolio is a good start.

I don't really know anything about marketing art. Hopefully some of the artists here can give some helpful hints on where to market your artistic skills online. I'm just thinking graphic designer but I don't know the first thing about that.

I really like your painting though. I thought it was a picture when I first saw it.

For people interested maybe you should link where you sell your t-shirts?

Just watched the thin red line last night. It was pretty good.

Some other thoughts. It seems like you already have one but work on getting a portfolio together. Once you have a few things then make a website for yourself. Display your talents, who you are, and have a business email. Maybe get some business cards? This will make it easier to show new people who you are and you can get some freelance work, maybe some freelance work on passion projects too. Maybe host your blog on your own site too if you think it'll help. I'm not on twitter but I've often thought of creating a twitter to make contacts. So having a business twitter would be good too.

Sorry it was a little tldr but it's interesting so I'll probably come back to it later.

In total I got: you're a talented artist and maybe musician who has a passion for video games. You work in an architecture firm in India. You would like to work on things with your inspirations(landscapes, feelings, etc). You tried film but the process didn't grab you.

You want to try something with your passions but you need to eat and would like to make a career out of your passions. In general you'd like to make money while doing your passions. You would also like to be near other people who are passionate about things you enjoy.

I have no answers for you but here are a few suggestions. You are working a job which I assume helps you make a decent amount of money. I'd suggest you downgrade your lifestyle to a place where you are saving a decent amount of money so you can fund something. Or do a kickstarter/gofundme, if you have an idea.

I think you need to make contacts and meet people. So maybe go to some different countries and go to game jams, meet indie devs, make some art with people. In general make enough money so you can travel and see what's out there. However, this might be difficult since you're from India and I don't know what you'd need to do for visas.

The other idea is to learn unity or something simple to program and make a game that generally just showcases your art. You can then use that to make some contacts.

Dragon age origins might be isometric(not sure on the term) but it is like old crpgs. It's also turn-based, if you want to play it that way, I recommend playing it turn-based.
