I am Spencer Buchanan, and I make games. What I’m Doing. Confessions of a Gamedev Podcast. You Can’t Make This Stuff Up. Last week was hard. Like slept very little and did not eat much hard. I spent as much time talking to my advisors about what I did. I was floored to get the encouragement and forgiveness they showed me. Take aways from each were.

This is such a cool program that I am proud to be apart of. I was looking at old posts and I have a slew of drafts from when I went to Casual Connect as a scholar. I had written down a ton of notes and wanted to write a lot more about that week, and sadly I have a lot of empty posts that I would have a hard time remembering the information. Trackback ( 0 ).

Our professors have been adamant that blogging is important for us to show a means of documenting our work, and our progress during the thesis project. I found it an easy excuse to write down much more of a diary for me, but hopefully it will help others so I am fine with this information being public. The previous posts express problems that I saw, and problems that I dealt with. Not all are ...

I am Spencer Buchanan, and I make games. What I’m Doing. Confessions of a Gamedev Podcast. The Right Fit in a Job. This was a super hard lesson for me to learn in 4-5 months.
