Well it’s finally happening! I’m taking a 6-month sabbatical away from Pyro Studios and work, to replenish my batteries and pursue some things I’ve been NOT doing for too long. Game development is tough and stressing, and after this many years I feel the drain, so when the opportunity showed up I decided to take it.
Some people are betting after I have relaxed for a few weeks I won’t feel up to the task of going "back to the trenches"… All I can say is, I still feel the same passion for games development, so despite the hardships and headaches, expect me back in the summer.
Feel free to post your suggestions and experiences while taking a sabbatical, this could be fun.
On another note, the TV series 24 started running the 4th season, and it’s as engaging as ever.
As long as you still post on your site now and then, I think it is a good decision. 😉 I wish you 6 great months and hope you enjoy every second of it. Oh yeah, I bet after you relaxed for a few weeks you think 6 months is long, and you want to see your colleagues again. I think you will be extra motivated when you get back to work. 🙂
