Indie and India

Happy new year! I’m sorry that this post is so late, but my life has undergone some major changes recently. Chief among them is that I’ve landed my first professional job as a game designer… in India! I moved out here with my PS3 and a suitcase full of clothes on New Years Eve and [...]

BRIEF HIATUS

I haven’t posted for a while because I’m too wrapped up in writing up my dissertation and finishing my degree. I’d post some of it, but it’s still very much In Progress, and I’m sure I’ll be tweaking every last semicolon until the deadline. I’ve got a things I’d like to post, but I’m at [...]
