Game Update

We are full steam ahead on building out the levels. Even if I only work on them with my mentor that will still be forward progress. I think I’m at a point again where I really need to spend some “game development” time to clean my office. I feel like the fact that it is a mess is hurting productivity for me a lot.

The game will be going on sale for the upcoming Christmas sale and so that’s a good thing. I scheduled all of the sales a couple months ago. It’s not something I’m extremely focused on lately as I still need to finish all these levels. I’m a little worried that it might not scale properly and some of the numbers might get out of hand at the higher levels. Marketing will be something I will focus more on when I have a completed project.

Personal Update

Thanksgiving driving was pretty tiring and costly. I drove 8 hours four times over two weeks to drop my kids off and pick them up. The gas cost alone was around $350. I think if I’m asked to do that location again I will have to veto it as it wasn’t that much different than dropping them off at the other location. Everything is in full gear otherwise. We just started setting up our Christmas decorations tonight and the tree is up now.

It’s been two years since I have had my kids available for Christmas, I’m really looking forward to this year. It makes me remember the last time I had this. Everything felt right back then. It was frustrating to see things not go the way I had hoped but I’m still thankful for that time. I think things will come back around again soon. There’s always something new just around the corner after all.
