Not that familiar with this blog, but while making my rounds it sounded very interesting. Guilded Lilies - a blog about grown women playing games - will see a change in focus as its creator ceases to talk about playing games, and will instead detail her journey as she learns to help make games. It should be a blog to keep your eye on, and we've got part of the announcement post as well.

From the article:

I am very pleased to announce that I have been accepted into the Masters of Interactive Technology, Art Creation Specialization, at The Guildhall at SMU. In January I will begin a two year intensive program to learn everything I need to know (but was afraid to ask) about how to create art assets for the digital games industry. I spent the month of September preparing a very involved portfolio assignment for my application, which was the reason for my blog vacation. I then spent the month of October and most of November fretting over whether I would get into the program, and was thus too preoccupied to think about anything else, including blogging. Now that I have been accepted, I am up to my neck in the details of packing and moving and preparing to start school after the first of the year.

The result of this will be a shift in focus for the Guilded Lilies blog, which will mean that for the next few months posts will be few and far between as I relocate and settle into the school routine. The Guildhall program is intense, with little time for anything else, but I hope to maintain the GL blog - albeit in a different format. At this point I expect to blog primarily about my experiences as a grown woman learning how to work in the digital games industry. This may mean that the format will become less focused on opinion pieces (not that I won't still have an opinion, far from it) and more of a personal journal blog. I will also focus on the specifics of digital art creation for the game industry, as soon as I learn enough to have something to say about it. The blog may be too much for me to keep up with once reality sets in, but I am determined to keep it going at least on some level.

So now that I have an exciting future of creating artwork for digital games ahead of me, think of the Guilded Lilies blog as making a subtle shift from Grown Women Playing Games to add Grown Women Making Games to the mix. It may be dull here until after the holidays, but things are going to get much more exciting once I get started. I can't believe I am really going to get to do this, and I look forward to sharing my amazement with you here as my education progresses.
