Multitasking and my Current Projects
When I returned to actively working on my own software after a two year hiatus working on other people's projects I had a list that was slowly building of things I wanted to code. Every time I got one of those "I should write that" moments I tossed it into my iPhone. After I rewrote Looking Glass to slow the number of emails I was getting about it I was ready to move onto new projects.

I am currently working on 3 projects right now as well as rewriting my graphics base code for future games. One of the projects is all but done and is waiting on my icon designer to finish his job as well as finial testing and polish so you should be seeing that in a couple of weeks. The second project is well on its way, the proof of concept stuff is all done now I just need to make it practical. The third project is just getting underway, the GUI is designed and I am starting to get the basics done.
My true passion is game development though. While I have several ideas for some really cool games all of them as very large projects that I am just not ready to jump into yet. I have started to rewrite my base graphics engine. My old engine which BCC3 was made in is sorely outdated. Once I get the engine up and going I need to sit down and think of a game to break the ice and get me back into OpenGL programming.
Once I release a project everything comes to a stop for a few days while I deal with bug reports and initial user rush. I would really like to be able to knock out these 3 projects in the next 6 months then try and devote some time to game programming but I have the feeling that I will spend a lot of time on customer service. Plus depending on my income from said software I may need to do some freelance programming to be able to stay afloat.
