It was only a few months in, but our next game was feeling like it might be a long, hard, and not super fun road to make.
So I started tinkering with something else, and it clicked much faster, and we like it more, so we're switching!
More thoughts, and a little glimpse:

In a career of being nominated for things we know we can't win, I don't think I've ever been more sure of not winning something than the IGF for Excellence in Design last night. Somehow, it was also the first time I've been wrong.
