Eep!

School Results are out tomorrow!!
Eeep...

But in other news, the first draft of The Bloodening (see previous post's comments) is out and about and looking good! I have tested it on my brothers and the average time for realisation to the fact that the game is just a black screen is about 5 or so minutes... not too shabby!
I am also now putting the finishing touches on the game's trailer, which is looking pretty nifty even if I do say so myself (which I do).
The development of the trailer is, however, making it harder to explain the game to people without sounding like a) a complete nerd and b) crazy.
Not that it bothers me all that much - and it especially won't when the profits start rolling in : )
But for this game to be complete I think it needs one more thing - it would be fantastic if anybody out there can think up a suspenseful (yet horrendously vague) blurb to The Bloodening... something that will make the non-existent storyline spring to non-existent life.

I'm going to leave you now with a Christmas email a friend sent to me recently - I'm sure you've all seen it before, but I absolutely loved it.
Very 2005.
Till then - Feliz Navidad! (gawd...)

Merry... day
