It’s about time I posted again…

It’s been a while since I posted last, and that’s because my new life in Wellington is keeping me quite busy. I’ve picked up dancing again and I’ve been quite busy with work. Of course, I still game, but I’m not playing much Second Life right now. Why? Well, I find my skills aren’t keeping pace with the rest of the players and so for any task I can immediately think of half a dozen people I know who could do it better! As I’ve never been one to club or party in SL that leaves me without much to do in-game.

I have, however, tried to keep my hand in. So far I co-concepted a game design for the SL Game Design competition and it’s being built right now. I’m also still involved with Dark Life which has pretty much been running itself for a while. There may be some news on that in time. Unfortunately, the downside of being back in New Zealand is that the time zone really sucks for organising a group effort with people from overseas! Ahh well, we’ll see what happens.

    Q. Won't the book get out of date?
    A. No, O'Reilly ebook owners get updates for free for life as the game changes and I edit the manuscript. Others can register their book at O'Reilly.com for $5.

    Q. Does Toady, the designer, approve?
    A. It was Toady who suggested O'Reilly contact me to write the book when they were looking for an author, and he wrote the foreword. He's a big fan!

    Q. Does Toady get a cut of profits? A. I am making donations to Toady each month based on my own royalties. Toady will also benefit from the donations brought by all the new players!
