I DID IT!

I just gave my two weeks notice at my day job. From now on it’s just me, computer science research, and game development. All day. All the time!

I’m going indie…!

[edit]Here’s a post on my blog with more about that…[/edit]

Woah woah woah, you quit your job to learn to make games? Do you have a large chunk of money to support yourself or something? Sounds cool and all but I’m worried for you!

Mainly I quit one of my jobs. I am also studying for my Masters degree, and I do Teaching Assistant work to support that study. I still have fixed income, but in smaller amounts, just enough to keep me going. I quit so I can focus more on my studies and do more computer science research, and of course so I can have some free time to make games and hopefully make some money out of that as well.

I was in the same spot just a year ago, but a combination of teaching assistantship, classes, research, and two kids were a bit too much. I wasn’t able to focus on games.
