One year later…

Well it’s been more than a year since I’ve posted. I’ve been living here in Hawaii for that time and I am loving it. There’s always something to do or something to see.

I don’t think I’ll get back to game progamming anytime soon. Originally, I started out doing it because it was fun but the more I got into it, the more time consuming it became. I remember spending hours every day working on Aliens over Hawaii or Auction Poker while still holding a full time job.

In addition, the more time I spent the less fun it became. It was always fun to come up with new ideas for games but working out all the insane little bugs was a major chore. I wasn’t trained as a programmer so I definitely know that the games I programmed were nowhere near optimal.

Still, I have quite a few ideas that never made it to Whirled and if I’m between jobs with a little more time to myself, I’ll definitely make an iPad game or two.  We’ll see what happens.

In the meantime I’ll enjoy my weekends on the beach:
