Message From the Lapsed to the Lost

An interesting article that I found a while ago, but just remembered to post it:

“Once upon a time I was a passionate game developer. Though I still love games and game design, I no longer work in the game industry. I have forsaken the church of game development for the easy and highly rewarding life of mainstream software development.”

I guess that makes me the Lost One :(

Complex Creative Experience

“I think women are much more discriminating in general than men in their choice of entertainment experience. Men will do the same stupid thing over and over again and be happy. Women tend to want a more complex, creative experience.” - Will Wright, Creator of The Sims

Closing One of the Doors

One offer down. So I can’t change my mind anymore now. Damn it’s a hard decision. I literally was pondering over the “Send” button for about 15 minutes. Just that an offer this good doesn’t come every day. In short term this one would be really good, but I reckon long term it would be better for me to take the other offer.

*sigh*
It’s one of those moments that really make you wonder “What’s my life gonna be like, had I taken that path…”
I guess we will never know, won’t we?
Later on when the game is published, I can only be the side spectator saying to the person beside me, “You know, I almost became their Lead Programmer…”
It’s okay, I’ll get over it. Tomorrow morning I will wake up and set my eyes straight again on the path that I have chosen.
