Jumpstart MMO is now LIVE!!!

Live! It's Live! It's Live I tell ya! Ahhahahahhahahhahaa! Huge news came to KA yesterday, our MMO at Jumpstart.com went live. We've been working towards this goal for some time now, lots of energy and talent and long hours went into making this happen! I am stoked!

Career Update

My company has been real busy lately. In the last year we have launched a full virtual world. We have steered from retail and have gone online with our sights on console and hand held.

www.jumpstart.com - virtual world

Our target group are kids age 3-8 possibly up to age 10. This game is where kids can be fully immersed in a virtual world full of games, adventure, and fun and it is customizable! Family safe. That is one thing I have always enjoyed about working at Knowledge Adventure. I know that the work I produce actually benefits kids, the adventures usually contain learning content (Math, reading, science, etc) or they learn morals. I am not making games with violent or sexual content and, at the end of the day, I am actually very proud of that.

Besides, I prefer animating cartoon characters than trying to duplicate real human life.

We also finally released Blaster DS. This handheld was on hold for nearly a year! I worked on the 3D Character animations. So anytime you see a character on screen, I animated it. Real neat game which has a little nod to retro spaceship games like asteroids and invadors.

Retails at $19.99 I believe.

My life updated

I am not very good, apparently, at these blogging/social networking/twitter/broadcasting life sites. I seems it has been 2 years since I have updated this blog. Tons has happened. I cannot go into every detail without writing a novel so instead I will give the broad overview. Married Bethany on October 8th, 2007 (had the spiffiest lookin groomsmen) and in February 2008, went into a long period of 'tightening my belt' to erase debt. Proud to say that as of the first of this month Bethany and I had successfully paid off nearly $30,000 in credit card and automotive debt.


Now before you celebrate with me I must add that in the bliss of erasing such debt, Bethany and I decide to counter such debt with one of such enormity that it has popped a few gray hairs on my head. We are currently in Escrow for a 4 bedroom 2 bath 2 car garage 1307 sqft condo in Newbury Park. Now, I am also extremely excited about this huge chapter in mine and Bethany's life together, but it is a huge undertaking.

I mean, we have been living with Bethany's parents since February 2008, whose generosity and sacrifice have made all of this possible. They are the reason we were able to pay off the debt and even think about buying a place of our own.

The place needs some TLC, and I am surprisingly anxious to do the work.
