He did say he works as a game developer outside LLtP as well, so he probably has experience in this sort of thing.
That's (sadly) not accurate. I have game development experience, including professionally, but I don't currently work in that industry.

I wish. I'm a professional software developer, but not in the games industry.

Damn it. I've been wondering for a while how you'd manage to juggle your load(heh?) if you've already got a day job. I would have been less worried if you were working full time but now I gotta ask....
How do you juggle your workload(heheh) between these? I mean I can barely handle my one software job. If i started developing a game alongside I'll probably jump off a cliff.
I work on LLtP in my spare time. I spend at least a little time on it each day, and on weekdays I spend a lot more. Working on this project has certainly changed some things in my life. I'm more tired when I go to bed and I don't have the time to, say, spend a week of free time doing nothing but playing a new video game. In fact, I don't have much time to play video games at all anymore. I miss that part of my life, but I'll get it back eventually. In the meantime, I simply try to make the best game I can.
Are you looking forward to finishing this and having a break? I'd probably have stopped working if I was in your position and had no real free time.
I can't think like that. Once I'm done with this I'm likely to just jump into another project. I do allow myself to take it a little easier some months though, such as this one. It is necessary for me to survive crazy development months like the last one, where I worked my ass off.

I've always been impressed that you have consistently been able to maintain work on LLTP and have a full time job without burnout. The fact the quality content of LLTP does not suffer AND you take time to talk with pirates is pretty impressive time management skills Belle, or fairy magic (just saying).
Actually your example of diligence has prompted me to start back to work on a book I began but wander off before completion.
Agreed, It's partly because of this game and Belle why I stopped lurking. This is the only game i follow where people aren't annoyed with each other and everyone who takes part in a discussion, do so
good-naturedly.

Still can't believe this game isn't a top tier money pledge game.
Its light-years ahead in quality of other games.
Belle ever thought of offering pixie Belle (and I suppose other supporting characters) pics for sell that could be downloaded and LLTP fans could go to sites like vista print to make personalized items like t-shirts and coffee mugs? This is not to say I ever made a Bell coffee mug.

You guys! I can't hit the Like button fast enough to keep up! 
Oh boy, that's an administrative nightmare I'd like to avoid. If I had some kind of campaign manager to handle that kind of thing for me, sure. As it is, I've got more than enough to think about already.

Depends on the weather outsideIt's been 8 months of timely releases so far. I don't think there's any reason to expect things to go anything but smoothly.
