Well, I know I have the resolve to finish up Fortress of Fire. We have a lot of assets for it, and a story to tell - it needs to be done for me to personally feel like Order of the Thorne tells its full story.
For me, the biggest hurdle in the past two years has been my declining health; add in the fact that I had two young children during that time period too, and game development time went from "I HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD!!!" to "Maybe I can squeeze in an hour tonight after everyone's gone to bed..."
I love making games. Making games for IA/IQ has been one of the most personally satisfying things I've ever done in my life. If it all ended tomorrow, I'd have no regrets about it and I'd only remember how amazing it was to make games and have people from all over the world play them. So, I'm hoping that after my next transplant, I'll have more energy and time to make games.
