So, is this guy still alive?

Yeah, he actually is and is finding new terms for the word "busy" every day it seems. Personal pieces have pretty much ground to a standstill over the last year or so, because I am simply too busy with work, and utterly pooped when I get home. Buuuut it is something I am trying to get over. Idleness is the...something...bad. Bleh.

Anywho! The computer game industry, my current residence and paycheck provider. What a lovely place. A tough place, but a lovely and constantly challenging place. My former workplace, Zeitguyz Game Studios, sadly caved in earlier this year and had to close down. Investors pulled out before we could land a contract for our AWESOME game. Bummer. Mega, mega bummer. Possibly the greatest disappointment I've faced for quite a lot of years, if not THE disappointment of my life. I loved working there, and loved the people.

But if nothing else, I walked out of there with oodles of new experience and a taste for the industry, despite the ups and downs. So now I'm at Press Play...small danish game studio, working predominantly on Flash titles for online distribution, but also on a Wii title I can't speak much of...YET. It's good fun and I'm learning Flash, which is something I've wanted for a long time. With any luck, I'll get myself arsed together to do some Flash stuff soon to show you folks.

In any case...just wanted to update my journal and tell the ones that are still watching my journal that I'm not dead...just sleeping...and hopefully waking up. See you in the funny papers!
