So if you’ve been following my twitter<\/a> feed, you’ll have maybe noticed my recent announcement.<\/p>\n

“I’m going fulltime indie again!”<\/em><\/p>\n

I was sort of forced into doing it last time (around October last year) due to being made redundant following the release of Kinectimals.\u00a0 During that time I made Soul Brother, but was re-hired at Frontier.\u00a0 I began working here again in December, and have been for the last four months.\u00a0 I’m working on a great project, which I can’t reveal of course, so really my choice has nothing to do with dissatisfaction from work.<\/p>\n

During this time back in the industry, I’ve had plenty of time to think about the possibility of making the indie hobby into a career.\u00a0 As I enter my mid-30’s, I realise I’m not getting any younger.\u00a0 And as I have been given some financial leeway by the sale of Soul Brother, there really is nothing else stopping me from taking the plunge.<\/p>\n

So, for the second time in a year, I’m announcing Superflat Games is my full-time job.\u00a0 And this time for good hopefully!\u00a0 I’ve set up a real business account, and put my life savings into it, which should keep me going for close to a year.\u00a0 I hope to finish Legend of the Starmen in less than 6 months though.<\/p>\n

I’m wasting no time, and have already begun serious work on the new game.\u00a0 It’s already feeling quite fun and I have to stop myself playing it (a good sign, I hope!)\u00a0 I have figured out the class system (there are three) and how the multiple weapons \/ items you can pick up work together.\u00a0 As this is mostly code and design, there’s nothing new to show in screenshot form yet (well, ok, have some rocks:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, I look forward to sharing proper progress with you guys.\u00a0 And I suppose it’s a good time to announce I’ll be adding the usual Donate<\/strong> button to the site when I am self-employed next month.\u00a0 If you’ve ever enjoyed my work or want to help me keep making it, you could always send a few bucks my way…\u00a0 Money is a bit more of an issue being self-employed when you have a wife and child to support, but if I do ok from a future game I’ll be sure to take it down again!<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s to the future, beautiful games and indie life.<\/p>\n
