With the approach of the release of CRG… and I think its a good time to document the journey so far. Some initial thoughts: Its expensive. Having a team help has speed up the project, but its also alot of time and money and resources. Its good to understand the game engine.

After going to creative writing group and showing off the CRG, the co-leader commented that the game reminded him of why we founded the group.

So, its nice to enjoy a hot chocolate with espresso shot mid afternoon to get ready for the skin up the mountain....

I really like Fridays. Some of the things I like about them are: Slightly more relaxed than other days of the week. Chips and queso with cherry coke. Playing video games like Civ or Starfield in the afternoon or evening. Looking forward for a long run or long bike ride over the weekend. Half day Fridays are nice. If the Friday is rainy or snowy, it feels really nice to be cozy inside....
