I often forget birthdays, things I’ve arranged to do socially, where I’m going for lunch, or what I agreed to do for someone. Why? My brain is just full. Here is some of the work related stuff I’m juggling right now
- A port of Kudos 2 to a new platform by a partner
- A translation of Democracy 2
- Artwork for GSB
- Arranging a musician for GSB
- Chasing money from a Russian Publisher
- Getting a portal to use my wire transfer details to pay me
- VAT (sales tax) return for the last quarter
- Possible use of Democracy for a magazine article
- Checking payment from a US publisher for something under NDA
- Advertising budgets
- Checking my forums to reply to tech support or similar discussions
- This blog
- Analyzing web traffic to see if some recent changes were positive or negative
- Keeping an eye on the casual games portals payment schedule so they don’t fall even further behind
- Selecting sounds for GSB
- Programming GSB
That last one is obviously the biggest, and GSB is effectively four games in one, so it’s a bit of a nightmare all on it’s own. The truly depressing thing is there is very little out of this list I could easily hand over to someone new, even if a) I could afford someone, and b) I found someone suitable.
I guess at least it’s indoor work with no heavy lifting :D
