Dear gentle reader,
I’m still alive. I went through a bit of a strange period.
The first reason is that I’ve been working like stupid on a project since December, which coalesced in this:
The second is that the project completely stressed and burned me out, to a point where everything, even role-playing games, felt gimmicky and stupid. This caused a plethora of personal problems as well, which left me depressed for quite a while.
I have bounced back a bit now. Last night I couldn’t sleep and had some terrific game mechanic design ideas to solve a problem that has been bugging me and a bunch of other professional and skilled designers for a long, long while. One can only hope.
EDIT: I might feel a bit strongly about the issue, and I’m not sure if I “solved” it, but, again, one can only hope.
Glad to hear your feeling better. Looking forward to reading what you have, must say you have piqued my curiosity.
Congratulations!
In Scotland does Dissertation refer to a Doctorate?
Thanks!
Re: disseration: Possibly!
Sadly, in this case, is only a Master in Research.
Congratulations!
I certainly understand how the process of dissertating (I’m pretty sure I made that word up) can suck the life from you!
