What happened is that I got way too excited about the previous post on conversation systems, and ran off to make the game Diego and I were talking about in comments. A year later I’m still working on data structures. But they’re totally rad data structures! Anyway, I got all worked up about this post by Chris Bateman and decided to get the blog going again. Since I’ve been gone, Stephen Lavelle went broke and people are already having the INDIE GAMES SOLD OUT conversation, but I ain’t gonna let that stop me.
