For the past two years, I've been working on a creative building game.

Yesterday we shipped our first demo! You'll learn more by visiting our website, watching our video, and downloading the game, than by reading my bloviations here

Profitable? Whoah now, let's not get ahead of ourselves :)

It has mentally sustained me; it's fun -- even exhilarating -- to build your own thing.

Financially, so far I'm out two years of earnings plus a few thousand in business expenses.

By the way, your recent blog post is interesting. One of the big discussions was about whether the player in my game is the avatar (originally a marble -- we were making a marble-rolling game) or whether the player is the widget that moves walls and adds props, or maybe the player is a god, or maybe all of the above. None of it made sense until we started thinking about how to transition the player's attention between the agents.
