VERY COOL. And congrats for making such a decision! Now, you do know that games can take years to make, yes? I mean, look at Scratches.

Wow that's certainly a big step you're taking. All the best of luck and I'll certainly be looking forward to seeing your adventure games one of these days.
Also, a very happy, if belated birthday to you, I would have sent you a cake but those darn mice kept stealing it.

[img]http://www.mindspring.com/~markparrish/Mumbles.gif[/img]yeah.... we don't want to [s]pry,[/s] [s]destroy the illusion of you as some super stud[/s], [s]disappoint ourselves[/s] embarrass you, you know, taking multiple ladies out drinking....[s]and then waking up alone and fully clothed in your own bed[/s], although I think you might do better if you stay a bit sober next time and get them totally plastered..... just a thought...... don't mind me..... what would I know, I'm just a blue face.... did you feel rotten when you woke up... if you didn't, you weren't doing it right....

[img]http://www.mindspring.com/~markparrish/Mumbles.gif[/img]they were probably bitching about you staying out late, wondering what else they had to turn off, what tins to bang to bring you home for the night. Hell, they're probably so glad that they're going to be fed again, they wouldn't have cared less if you'd brought home the entire posse of drunken women with you..... Oh wait. It was you that got plastered wasn't it, not them?.... darn it lad.... you do need some guidance.....

For some reason, this makes me think of the old man in Amerzone who dropped dead at the beginning of the game without completing his mission.
Okay, you've celebrated and had your fun. It's time to get to work.....seriously, you're old as hell and may not have much time left.....

So my 39th birthday tomorrow marks the official start of my new life as an independent game developer. I'll be working on a number of titles at first before tackling an AG. I really want to build up my skill set before going for an AG title - well, titleS actually, I have 3 that I've been working out ideas for - although I might put out a small one for the fun of it.
Personally, I am scared to death but I don't want to wake up 20 years from now thinking, "I wonder what would have happened if..." I'm single with no kids and I don't think I will ever be in a better position to give this a shot.
Double Congratulations!!!
First for surviving in this crazy world to see another birthday Happy Birthday and second for taking the plunge and becoming self-employed.
I envy your courage [smiley=bowdown.gif] I don't have that kind of confidence in my self :-/
I wish you all the best and only million sellers for your games. It's a tough job and the hours are long but I'll be rooting for you (okay you Aussies, get you minds out of the gutter, we call it something else up over)
