The last month’s been more than a little crazy for me, so I haven’t really had the time or inclination to blog for quite some time. I’d like to try and rectify that; while Twitter and Facebook have provided convenient avenues for broadcasting bite-sized glimpses into what goes on in my head, sometimes it really is true that 140 characters just isn’t enough.

I also notice that I haven’t really written much in the way of “what I’m working on” posts in quite some time. I write about things I’ve already finished, sure, but as I’ve intimated before, I sometimes feel like I’m treading into sales pitches, which tends to make me feel uncomfortable and out of my element. In an ideal world, the games I write would speak for themselves and I could happily rely on other people to write about them so I wouldn’t have to feel sleazy. But I digress. I think the reason I feel a little better about writing about works in progress is because it feels more open and earnest, like I’m inviting you behind the scenes to show you how and why I’m doing what I’m doing, and allowing you, in a way, to collaborate with me in some small form. Creating projects of this nature is a very solitary pursuit for me, which has its blessings — if I weren’t your textbook introvert, I wouldn’t be doing this at all — but too much isolation can easily cause me to lose touch with reality. You could say I’m seeking a balance of sorts.

But wait! There’s more…
