I have some solid ideas but I am clueless when it comes to programming. Gourmet Grill is located on Marine Corps Base Camp LeJeune, in Jacksonville, NC. We will be able to offer monetary compensation, however we are unable to afford a firm to handle our request. If you are interested in hearing my ideas please contact me.

And yup, I resigned to self study this field. Got a couple of really good books so had set aside time until the end of this year before considering my next step. Am freelancing at the moment. :D Heard of haXe before but never used it yet. Will check it out now that you mentioned it. ;) @Chenfu Thanks! Haven't heard from you for a very long time! Hope all's well with you! @Anonymous ooo~ thanks for the headsup~ :) @Tim

There's lots of cool stuff to be made, if you find the right companies to work with. A word to the wise though: stay well away from working with Ganz... they go through more Flash game designers than McDonalds does burger-flippers. Good luck in your new direction.

But I guess designing for games are more challenging and interesting. Much more to learn about. Good luck and keep it up! Tough decision to quit at this moment.

I do remember indeed how eager you were to get stuff moving around and interacting on the screen. It's great to see the passion didn't die, but grew instead. One thing I didn't get from your post: You resigned to study this field on your own? Or did you get another job in the game industry? Or are you now freelancing to support your passion? BTW, will you/have you picked up haxe? Motion-twin (http://www.motion-twin.com/) is very successful using it in France for Flash-based game projects.
