This blog, like so many other things you'll find on the Internet, (especially if you don't have safe search enabled) was born out of desperation and poor decision making.
I'm 30 years old today, and I realized that while I've already accomplished all the important things (wife, kid, house, career, xBox) in life, I haven't really accomplished anything big yet trivial. By this point I figured I have done something with my free time that would have amounted to something. Written a book or a screen play. Produced a mildly popular YouTube channel. Started to LARP. Something like that. Something that at the end of a year I can point to and say "I made that."
So here's the probably poor decision, I'm going to make a game. I'm giving myself one year to really knuckle down and make a game. Not anything major of course, but something big and complicated enough that I can be proud of it. Something I will want to show off.
This blog is to record my progress. I hope to use it to talk through some of my design decisions, record my progress and, hopefully, gather some feed back. We'll see how this turns out. Hope it's a fun ride.
