1) On and off programming / designing / making models etc all day. Start when I wake up and finish when I get tired. Sometimes stop around dinner time but other times I don't stop til early the next morning.

2) I like to be creative. I was always into games as a kid, board games, cpu games etc. I think I like making games more than playing them to be honest.

3) Quite a tough question to answer for me. Sometimes I get inspiration from another game, or a movie perhaps. Usually tho I get ideas when I'm out and about and have nowhere to write them down LOL. When I do start designing, I try and get everything down on paper and then research it in books or the internet.

4) No. But to be honest I don't mind too much how and game turns out. I had fun making it and that was my reason for doing it which makes it a success.

5) Yeah I've started a few projects which never got finished. I've actually come back to games I started years ago and then redesigned it and remade them properly.

6) Music. I can do everything else, programming, 2d art, 3d models, textures, sound effects etc etc. But I just can't do music. Something for me to start working on this year I think.

7) Hmmm again difficult to answer for me. I've made so many different types of games. Some of my older games I had published on the front of magazines. That was an educational maths game for kids, a platform game and a kiddies easter egg hunt game. I want to make more serious games in the future, in particular horror games.

8) Older, fatter, hopefully a bit richer. I'll continue what I'm doing now and hope for the best ;o)

9) Red
