I&#8217;m working at the same iPhone Development firm I have been for the last couple years for the few weeks of break. I&#8217;ve been meaning to work more on the Octopus recently, I just can&#8217;t seem to find any motivation. Was catching up on lack of sleep and stress from finals this weekend, and now regular work has started. Hopefully will find motivation soon.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking of making a level editor, it would be something new and cool to work on and could be helpful to extend the play-length of the game (yay 2 levels so far). But that may just be procrastinating from adding new things into the game itself. I guess part of the problem is while the game is kinda fun to play, I don&#8217;t really enjoy it. It isn&#8217;t nearly as enjoyable as I want it to be. I do have some highly reusable code so I may scrap the current gameplay and start over, but i don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s a better idea. I know on the one hand sticking to it is good, but there&#8217;s no point working on a game you don&#8217;t like as it won&#8217;t be enjoyable. Or I could just be being lazy and making excuses :P. I&#8217;m looking forward to having some more time as break continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back home in Chicago for winter break and doing a bit of dev work.
