Weird. The last time I wrote a journal entry, I was starting my awesome new job with Rivet Games. Now I'm writing to say that it's over, and I'm really mourning it.  The company closed down very suddenly this week, along with our awesome game.  But I don't want to focus on the sad part; I want to focus on how AMAZING the last year has been!  I got to work with the best people in the business, on a team that functioned like a well-oiled machine, including the most wildly talented artists and designers I've met!  What's not to love about that?  We really became a family, and even though our game may never see the light of day, it was a great...
