Testing The Limits

Focus Shift

Currently I'm working on a new site: VistaGameDoctor.com.

While I may no longer be in the games industry, the great thing about this site is it still gives me a chance to keep people's feet in the fire about the quality of their software.

Even today, there are developers who either are not testing on Vista, insisting that their games run as Administrator, or aren't ensuring that their games work on a fresh installation. This is providing a handy way for me to say "this is not acceptable."

In addition, I've also begun working on some serious games. One thing I've learned over the last decade is that while games primarily entertain, a game developed with a certain focus can be educational as well. My hope is to find a good way to turn common genres of games into educational experiences while still retaining their "fun" factor.

Current Stuff
