Planning for the future
I was thinking today about my future. I am currently supporting myself from shareware sales, and that is good. The Windows version is now available which will hopefully lead to more sales (but hasn't caused a big spike yet). However, because I only get money when new customers buy Lux, eventually the derived income will eventually dry up.So then, what for the future?
I figure it's easier to repeat myself as much as possible. That would mean creating another game. Hopefully similar to Lux. And so world, I do hereby proclaim that I will create an Axis and Allies style computer game. It's another game that I played a lot in high school. And in a non-so-strict sense the rules are a superset of Risk rules. This means that I could probably reuse a whole lot of Lux's code. And it fulfills some of the more intense user requests like map files that include initial positions.
This is only going to happen after I am done a bunch more hacking on Lux. Yesterday I started creating a plug-in manager. Combined with some other funky stuff it will bring Lux to version 4.0. I think it's a good plan, and I am happy with it.
