Today was a fabulous day at work! Work really is a pick me up, especially today. I felt like a lot of great things got accomplished, and now that RA training is complete (for now), I am able to completely focus on game development.

A large part of why today was so exciting is because of our newbies! The UN project just hired some new artists, programmers, QA and a designer to the team, added on top of our new writers we hired a few weeks ago, and we had an informal "welcome" meeting today. I'm crossing my fingers for more funding to help this awesome team succeed and continue on through completion. There were a LOT of applicants, and the competition was crazy. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish.


How can't we succeed with awesome smiles like that? (Welcome, Joel, our new QA Lead!)

Tomorrow, bright and early, we're making our first trip up to the middle school where we'll be doing our focus testing in a few weeks. I'm excited to scope out the location and get some more information on how we can truly make the most out of our testing.
