Miscellaneous ~ It's been a dry year

Yes, I realize it's been a pretty dry year. Looking back, Tactics Ogre is really the only thing I've released, which makes me sad. However, I'm expecting to release at least three more projects by year's end - hopefully four, and maybe even more. One of these is Laplace's Demon, which I'd wanted to get out for Halloween but I've been really busy and haven't had time to finish its script edit. Another is Super Nazo Puyo 2, which has been placed on the backburner while I work on more important stuff but really only needs a week or two of hard work before it's ready to be playtested. Of course there's also Ancient Magic, whose betatest is progressing smoothly, and I've got at least one or two other things baking quickly in the oven.

I've also gone back to school. I'm happy with my degrees but they're not making me any money, so I'm going to spend a few years and get a BS in computer science, which is probably what I should have done in the first place. The two classes I've been taking this semester and the 40-hour work week I'm doing over the weekend have put a vicegrip on my free time of late, but somehow I still find time for the hobby. I'm not going to promise a Christmas run-up like several years back, when I released a new translation every two weeks for two or three months straight, and now that I think of it I haven't even *considered* a Christmas release. I have something I'd certainly like to launch on the big 12-25, but I don't know if it'd be possible to get it ready in time... We'll see. Whether or not I have a Christmas release for you all, the rest of the year promises to be fruitful, and again, I apologize for the recent drought.
