“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
I don’t have a business card and in fact never have. But I hope when I do they are as cool as these:
^ Koji Igarishi’s card (legendary developer of Castlevania video games)
^ Legendary composer of Castlevania video game music.
And yes, those are scans of their real cards, given out at TGS a few weeks ago.
I have a mail folder named ‘saved’ into which I dump all sorts of random emails, and have been doing so for about 7 years. I was cleaning it out today and found this beauty, which I sent to several recipients about 5 years ago:
The best line, IMHO, is the second last one (where I project how long it may take me to code).
And even though I titled this entry Vaporware the product most certainly came to fruition. It would ultimately be called Mercenary King Infinity and retained all the features mentioned in this email. Of course it took me several months to complete.
Mmmm…I wish I knew someone who could write a robust roguelike game engine to which I could tether my robust roguelike gameplay ideas 🙂
I just found out that David Gemmell, my favourite author, a true master of his craft, passed away on July 28th from heart problems.
His final work, Shield Of Thunder, will be released in the US next March (it has already been released in England). This is the second book of a proposed trilogy which will never be completed, as it is rumoured that he had only just begun the third book.
Here’s to you Mr Gemmell.
You are now a Legend.
