Life, etc.

Ja ja ek weet!

Ok so my blog has been standing still for a couple of *ahem* months. I have no reason other than that I am lazy and have a girl friend ;-)

Quick update:

Me and Gerry went down to South Africa for about 3 weeks during March/April. I really enjoyed being back in my own country. I had a great time there with Gerry, she really loves the country.

She also thinks that it is a real shame of all the crime. She would love to one day return back to South Africa with me, if and only if things get better over there.

As to how it is going at work. Since I got back from Holiday, I have joined the Game play team on Burnout. I can't wait for the game to get published. This is actually the first time that I work on a game and can't wait to play the finished product once it has been released.

Blog rename:

I have decided to change the name of my blog (yes yes, boring blog) from "Journey of a Game Developer" to just plain simply my name.

There is a couple of reasons for this:
1. My biggest life goal from the past was to one day own my own Game Development company. Making great games, etc. etc. That goal slowly changed over the years, just as how the game industry has changed. My goal shifted from having my own game company, to work for a big game developer. I have completed that goal.

2. My goals in life have changed. My life is not just all about Game Development any more, but to have quality of life, for myself and my future family.

3. I set out to make this blog all about game development. Write tutorials, release source code, etc. etc. That changed since I have barely any free time, and I choose to spend that time with the person of my dreams.

I have a couple of great plans for the future, keep checking in here from time to time (maybe once a year :-p) to see what I am up to.
