Struggling to put into words just how special my first time in Japan was. Suffice to say I will definitely be returning for BitSummit. To all of the amazing game devs I met this past week: Thank you for helping make this the experience of a lifetime, and I hope to see you again in Kyoto!

I got to play this at GDC and it was an absolute blast! Takes me back to my days of Unreal Tournament 3 (and by that I mean I got absolutely rekt).
"Eidolon: Fate of Fools" launched today: free to play on Steam! It is a classic arena shooter with a tarot card twist. Each Major Arcana card has an Upright and Inverted ability, and resource management is key if you wish to become the master of your fate.

Lucked out being able to get a business pass on-site at TGS. Looks like I'll be attending all 4 days!

Finally got around to creating a business strategy:

1. Make a game
2. ???
3. Move to Japan
