After a very rough holiday season, I’m finally back to a place of dev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back on Nov. 1st, my wife had the honor of being laid off from the same job that laid me off back in 2006, via a conference call, and right before the holiday season. To her credit, instead of spending a month of depressive TV watching and sleeping, she dove right into job hunting and (luckily) found a job doing the same thing, and for the same pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its mine all mine, once more!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which means that for the FIRST TIME in over 2 years and 10 months, I am alone in the house, not tending to kids (who went back to school this week) not playing tech for a person on each floor of the house who needs to access work or school, not providing snack, meals, beverages or clean up duty to said people on each floor. I can just sit. And work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except for this fuzzball, who senses the house is empty and is clinging to me as if I were the last chopper out of Saigon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a bit daunting, now I have zero excuse – time to finish the GDD, publish the mobile game and get seriously working on the game – before May sneaks up on me and I’m stuck with two kiddos once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do have ONE <\/em>resolution this year – I want to show my game a either Games4Change’s XR 4 Change expo, or perhaps the Interactive pavilion at Tribeca; either way – its been too long since I’ve been home and I long to roam the streets of NYC, see friends I haven’t seen in years and visit some fave watering holes – plus suck up a ton of reference photos for painting my city grungy paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to get moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
