My housemate and multi-business partner Blake Morse recently took his video game news show off their old network and has brought me on board to help fly solo. We’re working on a list of more than 15 shows about video games and music that we hope to roll out over the next few months. In addition to helping to brainstorm and produce shows, I also built a website for the network we’re trying to build at glasshome.tv. You can bookmark the home page and Like us on Facebook to keep up-to-date with our weekly live show and the new shows coming soon.

In August, I finished work on The Sims 3 Pets for Nintendo 3DS and I believe it will be my last job for EA. For five of the past seven years I worked in a proprietary scripting language used to make the first and second generation of Sims games. As far as I know, no more games are planned using that technology, of which I was one of the few specialists. Unless something changes and they need more engineering support from me, I believe I am done with EA.
Now I am returning to the project I was working on before my last stint at EA, which they made me sign a non-compete agreement saying I would suspend work on. I am currently in fundraising mode after developing a preliminary design and iPhone prototype for a mixed reality game called Bummer. Players will control a homeless person in San Francisco, attempting to avoid traffic and obstacles while collecting cans and resources. Proceeds from the game would help provide goods and services to actual homeless people, whose status and success will feed back into the game world.
