Last Day On The Job

Today was my last day on the job. It was a bit hard to leave, after more than 5 years of working there. And it has been a great job, with great colleagues, so no regrets about having worked there!

But I chose to start another life, as an independent game producer, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time (since I was 16 or something :) ). So there are exciting times ahead, and I have no regrets about quitting either!

I won’t spend all my time on game development though. There are some side projects, like this blog, my girlfriend’s website (Speeltijd), and my music, on which I will spend more time.

I still haven’t fully realized I’m totally free and independent now. That will probably change on monday… :)

    Cograts Jochen. My opinion is that only those who think seriously about game development (which is going full-time indie) can succeed. I can not see how one want’s to make a living developing one single game for year or more.

    Thanks Roman!

    I agree, I went full time to be totally commited to this (by necessity). I’m working on a few different games in parallel, instead of betting on one game.

    I’ve seen your site, very nice! And it was interesting to see your sales stats on GameProducer.net .
