I wonder what Wavinator is up to; haven't seen him post lately. Hope he's okay; the design forum just isn't the same without him.
It seems my short visit back home combined with a couple days of feeling slightly unwell and the somewhat unwise decision to order in that box of budget games has hit my productivity for six. It's all too easy to just get sucked into playing games rather than developing them. I suppose it's partly due to me not buying that many games this year, and I've been overdue buying some new ones. But given I've got now more than half a dozen titles of the more epic variety sitting in shrink-wrap in my cupboard I can't really afford to just play them out; I'll be busy well into 2007. On the upside I won't feel as compelled to buy a new console just yet [smile].
Guess it's time to build up a bit more discipline by re-establishing a good working routine. It'll probably start with a day or two of just staring at my comments figuring out what the hell I was coding, but that's better than nothing. Plus my log-list of interesting game ideas for development in 2007 is getting larger, and I'll have to be a heck more productive than this if I want to start making headway on that list!
Update on my progress on Ice Slider to be made next week. Hopefully with pictures.
I'm feverishly trying to finish Diablo 2 in Hell difficulty, solo mode. It'll haunt me too much if I don't finish it so I've gotta get it outa my way.
