Soon my IndieDB account will be 10 years old, I've had it and made optimistic blog posts throughout my life and once every so often I check back at where I've come from.
It's been several years since I left a very comfortable job working as a designer at a great studio on a very high profile game.
I upped sticks and moved to Japan for a year and ended up staying for 5.
I became a teacher out of necessity then because I found I genuinely loved doing it.
But now I've started to feel that each day passing without working towards finishing and releasing my game is a wasted day.
Games have always been on my mind. I barley play them at all thanks to ever growing work and family commitments, but I'm forever creating little GDDs throughout my day as ideas form.
I finally got myself together and started again with a new project.
Previously I had spent two years creating a time traveling puzzle game but then almost the exact game released on Steam to great critical acclaim. I became pretty depressed.
Now focused again and step by step I'm working towards finishing something new and different.
Time will tell if games really are for me or if I am just another delusional "Ideas Guy" unable to see anything through.
