Teeth and Ideas

Bad news: I went to the dentist today, and she’s certain that both of my lower wisdom teeth will have to come out. One of these is hurting a lot. I don’t have an appointment to get them taken out yet. The doctor I originally wanted to go to doesn’t …

Not too depressed to work

If the last post sounded like I was depressed – well, I was. And I am seriously reconsidering some of my planned projects. As much as I love the idea of the internet as a space that promotes creative experiments… the reality of it unfortunately tends to be quite different. …

Failure is You! and other thoughts

I’d been looking forward to the release of RPGcat for some time now – it really makes me smile, and I wanted to share it with people. I thought it had real potential to become a webseries that people would follow and enjoy. The reality of it is quite different, …

Urgh.

I am sick. Last night my fever reached 39.2°C, and today I still have a miserable headache and my stomach feels like it has melted. Yes, the stress is catching up with me. I’m relaxed now, but all these weeks of working incessantly have taken their toll on my immune …

Press Continue

Yesterday was a bit of a disaster. First I was totally overwhelmed by tiredness in the afternoon, and then Verena started feeling really sick. Taking care of my wife kind of took priority over game design at that point. She’s fine now, though, if a little exhausted.

Or maybe…

No More Radio Silence

Further proof of my theory that the universe is run by a Trickster (some think it’s Coyote, but I think it’s Cat): on Friday, a day before we were about to fix our computers so that I could get on with finishing Phenomenon 32, our internet connection disappeared, and didn’t …

Writing, feeding cats, and stuff

That’s pretty much what we’ve been doing. Made some nice progress on the book  – more pieces of the puzzles are in place. (Want a teaser? One bit that I wrote is 9 pages long and stretches over 10.000 years. The next bit is 10 pages and stretches over no …

In Greece Again

It’s odd being here. I’ve probably said so before, but it’s true. Being in Greece is very odd for me. In a way, it’s like having walked back into my childhood. Sure, things have changed, but more things have remained the same. Especially since Germany is so different. And I …
