So sod it. Giving up on this idea.
Work is still stressfull, I still don't have a permanent contract and now I have a large painful lump growing out of my armpit that I have to wait a month before the doctor can slice me open and remove.
Perhaps might start a 3D project. I keep trying to motivate myself to work through some Blender tutorials, but I guess I could make a pretty cool 3D game with cubes and stuff in the meantime.
Or maybe bring back Udo, but with polygon-based levels. That might be worth a bash. Sort of like N but with huge scrolling levels and colorful graphics.
It's certainly possible.
