Quo'in it up!
Seeing Lexa's post has inspired me to write one of my own. I see the last time I actually posted anything was August of 2008, so perhaps I'm a bit overdue - but hey, just like Lexa, the status has remained quo for quite some time. Well, except for proposing to Simone - I'm engaged now. That part probably merited a post... a bit closer to when that event actually occurred. Hmm. Come to think of it, perhaps I'm just getting lazy with LiveJournal. Ah, well.
Anyway, some interesting things have been going on lately (besides the whole engagement thing) - our American History-teachin' game is now in Beta with real students, and doing very well. We're working on a new project or two that I can't tell you about yet, and things are pretty awesome on that front. Actually, we just took part in a massive voice-acting audition session at my old graduate school, FIEA. Nearly a hundred potential voice actors came to show their stuff to local gaming companies (like EA and n-Space) as well as us! We found some really good voices for the upcoming title we're working on, and it was a lot of fun - though very tiring - to go through all those applicants.
Oh, and on Monday, I take my very first business trip up to Columbus, Ohio to help give a presentation on all the cool stuff we've been doing. Should be a neat opportunity, though it saddens me to have to wake up at 5:00 AM and put on a tie for it. Other than that on the work front, we also moved offices - now we're in a really nice place in the heart of downtown, next to alllll the restaurants. Tasty, tasty restaurants. Mmm. I also have an office with a door now, and it's the biggest non-exec office - though I do share it with a fellow producer. Our setup is highly spiffy, and I like it a great deal.
Now that work has calmed down a bit, I'm also slowly but surely getting other much-needed elements of my life in order. For instance, I finally got around to locating a good dentist so I can have regular cleanings and such, and I'm in the process of doing the same for a physician. Healthy! I've also got a bit more time to actually play games, which is nice - there are a lot of good ones out there now, and I have my plate full. A good problem to have, though.
Overall, life is good. I hope to be able to update you all a little more frequently, as I feel I've been neglecting this avenue of communication a bit... but really, I just included information about a dentist visit in this, my first post in about 7 months. Not a whole lot goin' on, heh! Anyway, have a great day, all - be well.
