Handango: Ready To Go

Handango

This morning I registered as a software developer with Handango, a hugely popular mobile software distributor. They will be my first sales channel, and of course I will look for more over the next week.

This is very exciting. :-) The last time I did this kind of thing, I was writing software for BeOS, an cult alternative OS that sadly died several years ago. I wrote several apps, including a chess server/client system, a "replicant" newsticker, and my first major application: Jabber for BeOS.

Through BeBits, I distributed these apps and even sold the Jabber application for profit! (If you consider working for a nickel an hour a profit?) As a software developer, I have to say that it is VERY exciting to be distributing applications and having people download, use, and appreciate your work.

And, if you can make money doing it... :-)

So, my dream of being a profitable game software developer has taken another step forward today, but there's so much more to do. I have a healthy list of things I need to do to prepare my first game, Counterpart, for production. It's already my best game to date, but to sell, it needs more.

I can't wait for the day when I post Counterpart on the net for all to play! All my fingers, limbs, extremities will be crossed in hopes of success. A long shot? Perhaps. Worth a try? Definitely.
