Hi, Recession!
So, I’m unemployed today.
Lots of games never ship. I’ve worked on two now. Suffice to say that it is getting old. 🙂
I don’t really want to talk too much here about my last project. As a condition of my severance I can’t discuss a great deal, and anything I say here will most likely be picked up by the MMO news sites (wave, wave!). Plus I’m still a bit sore since I think what we were working on was pretty damned cool (if nothing else, it was *nothing* like World of Warcraft) and I’m a sad panda that it won’t make it out the door.
This is also the first time in almost a decade that I don’t have something already queued up and ready to go the day I pick up my severance package. Which, given today’s climate, is KINDA FRIGHTENING, YOU KNOW? I have some possibilities (most of which involve our entire team – having the proven ability to come up with a client/server MMO prototype in 6 months is Kinda A Big Deal) but nothing definite.
Today I get to file for unemployment, for… um… pretty much the first time, ever.
Whee.
So, tomorrow, I’ll get back to snarky Youtube videos, promise.
