What's This?

I had an interview this past week, then a second one with the same company, plus a first interview with another company. Nothing concrete yet, but I'm happy that I'm starting to get some responses.

I haven't been updating this as much as I had intended, though the reason is a positive one - I'm having fun.

I'm having fun working on this game. I'm enjoying it. I plan and design in my head as I'm going to sleep. I get on the computer to work on it as soon as I can in the mornings, after submitting a few more job applications. I spend hours on it. A lot of the time is still googling how to do things, reading Unreal forum posts and watching instructional videos, but I do seem to be making incremental but steady progress. Each day brings a new small step forward. And I'm loving that.

It's been so long since I've done something that I've enjoyed this much.

I posted a very short proof-of-concept video for some friends yesterday (hi friends!) and their reactions were positive. And that makes me happy, too.
