My husband works two jobs. During the day, he programs simulators to train people on big docking cranes. I know, it doesn't sound cool, but it really is. He basically programs big giant rides with huge globe screens and Captain Kirk chairs.
His second job, after he comes home and has dinner is to write his own computer game, and manage his online game company
http://www.rampantgames.com. He works until almost 2 am, then goes to bed, and gets up to start his day job again. Why does he do it? Because he LOVES IT! The good news is that now his newest game is just about done. We're in the final two weeks of development, and we are so excited! Him, because after four years, at long last he can put this out and let people play it. Me, because I need him to fix our fence, and I'd like to see actual money come from this laborious hobby! Take a look at the trailer for Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon. Fall in love with it! Buy it for you and as presents for friends!
As a side note, the character of Chloe, who dresses in pink, lives in her own little word and likes to blow things up is actually me. Kind of. For years I have written about and played a character named Chloe Bishop in White Wolf roleplaying games and MUSH's. She's a crazy, upbeat, random person- me on a lot of caffeine and sugar, basically. That's where he got the name and the kernel of her character. She makes me very happy!
Here is the trailer for the game, released tonight. I am so excited to share this with you!
