One door has closed, and another one is opening. No! Actually it is more like standing in the hall of mirrors at Tivoli and figuring out what you want to do.
The story is that after some years of getting my feet wet in different game companies, I started 3 Lives Left with a friend of mine in 2007. In January 2009 the company filed for bankrupcy. There were many reasons for that, most of them having to do with us being company owners for the first time.
So what now? I currently work as a freelance programmer in a completely dfferent sector than games. In the very short term this has 2 primary benefits:
- I can relatively quickly get back on my feet after some years on a very tight budget
- Getting away from the industry allows me to get some outside perspective and do a complete re-evaluation.
Conclusions so far? I'll tell you in a later post..
