usernamenumberSome time ago an old college friend of mine named Nathan took the brave/crazy step of leaving his job as a sysadmin to start his own company. It's an online gaming company, in fact, specializing in head-to-head web-based puzzle games. He first told me about this... quite a while ago, and now it's all coming to fruition. They've got games, they've got a site and they're getting ready to start beta testing. I'm so impressed that he's actually seen such an ambitious project through not because I didn't think he would, but because I know there's no way in hell I would have. =:)
The site is Skill City Games and, though they're still in the affore-mentioned beta, they'll be worth keeping an eye on. Their "Antskrieg" and "Librum Confundo" games look really fun (unfortunately it's Windows-only, so I don't have the ability to play while I'm on the road).
Plus, Nathan's been blogging his thoughts and experiences as a fledgling game designer at "Puzzle Blocks" on Blogspot, which I've taken the liberty of making an LJ feed for. It's good reading. I particularly enjoyed his most recent article.
Ok, I so have to go to bed an hour ago.
