Another Great Day

Although today ended with yet another struggle with business cases and finding the words that say just that, across the board this was a great day. It started standing in front of the Amsterdam Central station, where I met Rutger for a quick pre-meet, before plodding our way through snow and sleet to meet with Frank Eijken. We had a short but inspiring meeting that ended with him considering to join Glimpse Games’ board of advisors.

Rutger and I are really putting the last touches to the honey that should be drawing in our funding soon. We can’t wait to get started with the normal day-to-day operations after a year of working evenings out of the basement. That phase of operations is extremely charming, but does burn a lot of energy.

Our game developers are reporting that the game creation modules are nearing completion, which also put a big smile on our faces. Can’t wait to create the first full game.

Time to wrap up for today.
