A little update

When the builders seem to be well and truly out of my hair. The Kitchen wasn’t finished but it’s close enough. I withheld some payment because of the sheer mess of things that the builder made, and for the blatant over-charging that took place of his “extras”.

We still have to tile and little decoration, but everything is pretty close now.

One of our appliance suppliers went bump last week. I’ve been trying to get my microwave exchanged with them for the last 6 weeks, and now they are gone! Ah well, have to start talking to the credit card company about it.

Work is still a pain in the arse. We finally went gold on the Football League game. This fives us games for 72 clubs and a standalone single version. They will be in the Club stores in two weeks time. I’ve been working long days to get the game out. In order to solve our financial problems, we have no choice but to generate revenue. This has meant pushing forward through troubled times, but we are hopefully over the worse of it. Maybe another month of discomfort, but almost there, keep on target!

The Midnight Engine

Here are some screenshots showing the new UI. One also shows of the new sun. We’ve played around a lot with the effects layers. There are now different suns and moons depending on the time of day etc.

Worse things happen at sea…

Well, it seems all my bad karma has come down on me at the same time. Firstly, the new publisher of our Club Manager games, filed for bankruptcy this week, owing us in excess of 150k! This has hit us hard while we were still trying to recover from the “problems” caused by the premier league two years ago. So at the moment we are fighting at work to keep the company afloat while trying to build 90 sku’s with just a few people.

I’ve got builders in at the moment; actually I’ve had them in for 2 months now which is the problem… and it doesn’t look like getting resolved anytime soon. A whole catalogue of disasters have occured with them, needless to say, I’ve spent a shit load of money and haven’t got what I want yet… and have been living in a shit hole for a lot of that time.

We’ve been without a kitchen and more importantly a cooker, for 2 weeks now; fun when you’ve got 2 small kids.

Lots of problems on the builder front!

Nearly all my appliances have died. Admittedly we were replacing them as part of the new kitchen… see the problem here!

A lot of my new appliances have had to be sent back with damages during transit!

My cold water tank has started overflowing… needs a new stop cock thingy…

My shower has started leaking again… so we have been on baths for the last week!

Got a parking ticket today; the two multi story car parks have been made into one while they refurbish… making parking a nightmare at work. Parked on the street at a pay and display… and forget about it!

The kettle gave up tonight, and with no way of boiling water other than a microwave… not great for coffee!

this list seems to go on and on…
