I'm getting back into game development...

I just wanted to let people know that I'm getting back into game development. I quit it for probably over 6 months due to being burnt out over a falling out with a professional game development school which ended in me resigning from classes. I also got burnt out by all the problems I was experiencing with Windows 8. So for the last several months, I have acted like a burnt out bum and persued frivolous things with a sharp interest - so long as it doesn't involve game development. In fact, the only reason I've been back here is because a couple of people kind of missed me, but I think I'm going to start taking things just a little more seriously. By the way, I will probably quit Windows. I'm using an Android tablet now and will probably stick to it awhile. But even if software tools on Android somehow prevent me from making art or doing programming, which I doubt, then I will do design. And the reason I dislike Windows is because it disrupts my workflow. If I get a virus on Windows, it takes half the night to reboot my machine. Whereas rebooting Android takes 10 minutes. It's the little things like that. I will also be taking baby steps at getting back into game development, for now. I did post a game I made one time, here, before I got burnt out... but people seemed too distracted, disinterested, or busy to play it. Which I am okay with. I just thought I would announce it and you can talk about it if you want. I would post it in chat instead but this is just way too much to type to put there, and I seem to have a few technical issues with Journals. Oh, and if you want to know what changed my mind... my studies of hardware got me into benchmarks, which got me into indie game/benchmark hybrids on Google Play, and I ended up looking deep inside myself and realizing that the time was right.

IBTL?

In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.
