Ups and Downs

I've just seen the latest edition of Edge. It's got a JME2 game version of tempest there. It's uplifting to see that the G3 phones will have the capabilities I require but I'm hoping that no-one has had the same game idea as I. Another thing that hit me is I had the original idea of Upload over a year ago and interface was derived from it six months ago. I'm now at the point were I should have been before Christmas. It's just hitting me how much time I actually spend playing games instead of writing them.

My nightmare senario would be if I opened a game review magazine and a very similar game appreared to either of them. I keep on telling myself, 'I'm only doing this to get the Java and .NET language experience'. But it would be great if it could earn me a little payback. I've now got to step through all the graphics and redesign them. Long night ahead !
