Those are all awesome questions Eq, I'm sorry the response is taking so long. I recorded a video response this morning (I find it easier to explain things by talking in place of typing) but it's over 10 minutes long and YouTube won't accept it.
I'll do another one tomorrow morning and force myself not to ramble, hehe...
Hmm I don't think I can split the thread. I don't want to lock this so... can you guys keep the proselytizing in its own thread? Pleeease.
Yup, sorry about that.
Its almost hypocrtical, I mean good on ya mate, but isn't a relationship with God supposed to help bring out your true vocation? Ah well, I guess it wasn't game making, though you were quite good at that. But now our small community has lost its most contributing member.
No! Don't think of me as a lost member, think of me as an honorary retiree. I'm still a game designer born and bred and I'd really like to get the youth church involved, so I'll be plugging GM and SC once I get some sort of club/activity going.
As for my "true" vocation, I'm afraid it's not looking likely that game design will pay my bills. At the moment being a sales assistant in Toys R Us is.
