Food Finder and the Quest for the Crimson/Onyx DS Lite

Aug 25, 2007 22:56

Well, since it's official now, I can mention here that I won the Open Storyboard section of the Games for Health '06-'07 Competition for my entry titled Food Finder and the Quest for the Golden Walnut. The section was called "storyboard" but what I submitted was more properly a pitch or concept document for a Nintendo DS game to teach nutrition to ( Read more... )

Hey, congrats! :)

How in the good crap do you manage to post comments so fast? ;) You generally have responded before I even finish the inevitable edits I have on any entry I post.

Thanks. :)

I'm telling you, we're brain twins! We share a wavelength! :)

Course, it could just be timing. ;)

Woooo Hooo Congrats! That is so cool! Are they going to produce it?

zhai August 27 2007, 05:00:25 UTC

Thanks! :) And no, this was just a design contest, there is no follow-through on production. But I will be asking around and attempting to find out how serious the NIH was in saying they were actively looking for a nutrition game to fund.

Congrats! I don't know how you do everything that you do. You definitely deserve the self-reward!

Thanks! Mostly, I don't sleep enough. Trying to remedy this with some changes starting in the next couple of weeks. I haven't been doing much the past couple of weeks besides working and packing and moving, though. Blah.

Try napping. I've been living on 4 hours per night and two 15-minute naps during breaks at work. Feel fantastic as long as I get at least that. Too much or too little makes me feel tired, though. Usually sleep 8 hour nights on the weekends, when I can, since I'm oddly less inclined to nap at home than at work.

Congratulations!! That is so cool.

Thanks! And I hope things are looking up for you soon. I don't comment nearly as much as I should, but I have been reading. I went through some bouts of anxiety attacks and insomnia last year, and know how much it can suck.
