It’s nice to see that my perception of the game (i.e. I think it’s the best I’ve ever done in these competitions) is matched by other people’s perceptions (my best placement ever)…<\/p>\n
Apparently everyone thought the game was too slow, which I think was unavoidable (or else people wouldn’t be able to play it, with all the other interface issues I’ve seen on the game)… Balance was off aswell, but it was fully playable, polished, and had a nice concept that I will extend one of these days, when I can find the time for it (hard with my new job).<\/p>\n
Anyway, this post comes directly from Appledoorn in the Netherlands, where the HQ of my new company is located (Divitel<\/a>)… I’m starting a new job now, so I’m setting up (with my partners) the Lisbon office of Divitel, which will be a new company called Divitel Development, focused on Software Development for the telco market… I’ll also be attending the IBC<\/a>, to get a better understanding of the market we’re moving into.<\/p>\n Hopefully, this new venture will prove better than the last ones… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
