I generally find the constipation suddenly and violently goes away when I'm nervous.

I was working over 100 hours a week getting maybe 3 or 4 hours a week. I was not in a good place.

The day after I quit I slept for a good ten hours or so (waking up only once). It's funny how quickly the body can recover.

I've got a little bit of work to do between now and June, but working for myself doesn't sound like work. My staff are picking it up a notch after I took the jump. You'd have a heart attack if you knew how much of a paycut I took to do this, but it's my dream.

Yes. I put http://alteil-test.apocoplay.com/corp/ together in an hour or so with placeholder art and wanted to ask the artist to replace the boxy art with relevant items. For example, the boxes in the front would be replaced by a bunch of cartoony dinosaurs playing cards, then the same creatures playing boardgames, then the same creatures playing those games on mobile/pc/phone. Then the idea was to have a salesman change the wording to make it a better sell.

Trouble is the artist is busy making other things and most of the others didn't like it. So we agreed to pause the new site until our marketing guy comes in (we needed one desperately and one's coming in in a few days).

The old page was thrown together for a contest. I want the new web page to be specialized for board game designers & publishers. I want them to look at it an think "gee, I should probably call these guys."

DNS configured to forward apocoplay.com to https://www.facebook.com/Alteil for now (until we have a better looking website)

May take a few hours to process.

edit: This "feels" like my first day of freedom, mainly because the police ordered us not to leave our homes yesterday because of the gunman.

In development news, the new engine is looking pretty baller. I can't wait to show you guys the more recent updates. It's all HTML5 with AngularJS and communicates with the server in real time (SingalR, Microsoft's answer to socketio).

In Minecraft news, Drysart earned the title of First Murder in AmpRack's new hardcore server.

In Alteil news, Worthing wrote a preview of our upcoming release here - http://www.alteil.com/index.php/component/content/article/1-latest-news/3137-first-sneak-peak-of-set-13

I liked it, too (I've actually never played Minecraft. I'm afraid if I'll start I'll spend 24/7 in there). There was something I wondered about that I think I missed, if Drysart mentioned it. Why not take the risk of hunting for more gold for that apple instead of having the showdown with so little life, especially once you saw all those dogs? Is there a time limit, or at least a courtesy-based time limit?

"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects

Sort of a gentleman's agreement when you get down to the last 2 or 3 players -- head to the 0,0 coordinate to finish it off. Otherwise the game could go on for hours.

Eating our own dog food and using our engine to create a new updated look/feel/etc for the game.

We should st be polished enough to start a kickstarter come early July, just in time for ConnectiCon. Trying to pull some favors and keeping my fingers crossed.

One of my artists made the art for Chess 2. It was just mentioned by Penny Arcade as one of the reasons to get an Ouya. Regardless of what you think of the system itself or penny arcade's opinion on the matter, you have to admit that his art is pretty baller.

I really should go to one of those. I've been back in NY for almost 4 years now, just a stones throw from CT.

Maybe next year. (prior obligations this year)

Broke 10k people last year and still growing.

That would make you the 5th Evercrester to attend.
