We haven’t lost our momentum on the game yet (I hope we don’t, but I know me) — we’ve now completed a “walkaround” version with all the rooms in place. I just finished a decent first draft of the script last night… now I just need to “funny it up” a bit, trim a few things here and there and we’re ready! We’re continuing the basic development though — inserting all the characters, the objects and so forth. As I said before, and I will no doubt say again, THIS IS AWESOME! It’s a dream come true, and it’s every bit as fun as I hoped it would be. (More, actually, because I never imagined I’d be involved in the visual part of it.)
Work has started gearing up for our usual insane summer pace… and I’m handling it with remarkable ease. My boss has been away this week (always pleasant… see the boss in Tales of the Odd if you want to get an idea of what I deal with) and at least half a dozen major crises have surfaced in that time. I have dealt with every one efficiently and to the satisfaction of my superiors. And I’m still getting home at a decent enough hour to do the things that really matter. A few things here and there could be better (I need to be exercising more), but on the whole, life is pretty damned good right now.
