I have written my business article up to a point where I feel I can post it on the Internet. It is not complete by a long shot, but it is enough to warrant requesting feedback.

Here is the link to the article, "The Business of Indie Games"

I am a little concerned about posting an article on business …

I'm back and getting back into things. I've had to change desks due to the storm damage and my computer has been locked up for insurance purposes, so I've been having to deal with the admin of getting a new desk and computer for the meantime. However given all my stuff is at home right now and ther…

Not that much to update on game development, I'm afraid, as I'm presently on an impromptu holiday in Melbourne. Technically it's a working holiday, as I'm occasionally typing things up on my laptop, but I've been mooching around a bit more than I should. It sucks when you need to be doing a lot of …

My productivity has been completely shot over the last couple of days, as well as my attempt to wean myself from Internet addiction. With the storm throwing my schedule completely out of kilter I've been spending a lot of time online hoping for updates, and thus generally wasting time on other Inte…

I got another business book through the mail yesterday - "Going Solo in Your Own Small Business" by John English.

...well not really; it's open to pretty much anyone to read; I just wanted another lame Bond quip as a title. But it's the long delayed result of the Totally Pointless Competition #2!

The object was to convince me why you should be make Emperor (or Empress) of Earth. I wasn't that convinced by threa…

The journals are back up! Huzzah! I missed two weekly reports due to the downtime, so I'll quickly sum up what I've been doing over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately not much of it has been directly game dev related, but indirectly it's been important. Basically it boils down to three activit…

Some of you might not know, but GameDev has a virtual soccer1 competition running in Xpert Eleven, an online soccer management game website. The latest season is over, with Kagey's team, the Beatniks, winning top position in a closely fought contest. My team, the Lamington Lemmings, managed a very …
