Day 1 post GDC_2018

In train on the way to work…  This mornings train thoughts are that I want to slow down and stay engaged.  Slow down because I need to relax and not worry that things are not done yet.  And stay engaged instead of withdrawing from the society of other game developers…

Hazards in Game Dev

I’ve been so happy lately. I have a day job in which I get to flex and learn more Unity skills. I have a partner willing to help me develop Immune Defense and who co-dreams with me about other adventures in molecular biology to come… Life has been stable and I am making tangible progress on a design for Immune Defense…
