Got a new one up: Walkthrough: Building a Mobile Game in Visual Studio 2008.
I especially like this one because it's a BIG-ASS, very ambitious demo that worked out quite nicely. I'm rather pleased with myself.
On other fronts, I finally turned in version 4 of The Script, as I will refer to it from here on out. Haven't heard anything about it yet, really. But I'm also really pleased with that one. Like v1 (and unlike vs 2 and 3), this one really *zinged* as I was writing it. I had that experience of feeling like "Yes! Omg, this is fucking great." I finally got a lock on the main character, which has taken me some time. After that, everything started falling into place.
We got the go-ahead on the next film. We're starting the brainstorming on Sunday. I'm excited about beginning a big new writing project. At the same time, i also got the go-ahead on an interesting industrial video project that I pitched. That one should be fun, too, albeit potentially stressful because of some aggressive timelines.
In the not-so-great news, I am officially a vampire now (and I'm not referring to Facebook). I've had the worst insomnia. Last night I discovered I had a full-on flea infestation IN MY BED. I didn't go to bed until about 5am, and then I felt fleas crawling all over me, biting my legs, crawling into the most inconvenient locations. I thought it was my imagination but once I figured out it was really happening, I got up, stripped the bed, flipped the mattress, put on clean sheets, and finally got to sleep with a bustling bundle of flea heaven wadded up in the corner (and currently awash in hot bleached water in the laundry room). I didn't sleep until 9:30am, not long after the sun was up. And I woke up again around 5pm, as the sun was going down. I feel like I should be wearing goth.
Lawd, how did this happen? Perhaps if I go ahead and take my trip to Japan, I can keep my schedule and slip into sync. Maybe? (I have no idea what the time zone is there. Let's just pretend.)
