Developing games

Nice to see you are still here, Alexei. How goes the work on Majestic?

How's your sister? Has she had any luck with selling more of her designs?

No good luck with her designs I am afraid, she will have to switch to Plan B which is to marry old man and accidentally drop connected toaster into the bath...

Well, it could happen to anyone, your honour.

Well, not really in the alps but close enough. Yet unfortunately in the grim german side business capital. However, we are trying to move to the nice italian part, failing that back to London. Of course, only after the price crash (and yes when the ASBO expires ).

Are you on a permie gig out there? Prices will never crash in SW19, Franco, you know that.

I met a woman on holiday a couple of years ago who's husband was a games dev. She was on holiday on her own as her husband had to work. She hadn't been on holiday for 3 years due to her husband's work commitments. Sounded to me from her tales of woe that the games industry owns your soul even more than the IB industry.

Well, I had a choice but the contract wasn't paying much more so at the end....

Sure, prices will never crash in _YOUR_POSTCODE_

How you ever read the EA Spouse article?

It's USA based, and 3 years old so don't know how relevant it is today in the UK?

I'll type it slowly...that is a myth. IB industry is like the public service, but better paid(presumably). There's no need to sell ones soul. It's a bit like university, every now and again there is a release(exam), but the choice of bars is a bit better, and the female students spend more on their cloths and general upkeep.
