Now that I am finished with the Denius-Sams Gaming Academy, I am taking a look at Super Ubie Island again. I am planning to release on Steam soon but before I do, I want to do some touch-ups on the game. I can’t believe I released the game back in 2013. Time is just flying by. I did take a year off of game development to gain leadership skills at the academy though.

I am in the process of trying to land a pretty big development contract. I can’t speak much on it but in the mean time, I plan on touching up past games and re-releasing. I still plan on picking up Team Notion again and bringing that to completion. It’s so hard to say what’s going to happen over the next year because this past year has been pretty insane. I am in the 2015 Forbes 30 Under 30 class and I have also been dealing heavily with the Austin Black Chamber of Commerce, working with Girls Makes Games’ summer camp to educate more girls on game design and programming. I just have a ton of things going on right now and it can be a bit overwhelming.

Black Enterprise will be featuring me as a part of their BE Modern Man initiative. It’s a movement that honors the essence, image and accomplishments of today’s man of color. My feature will be up June 22nd. I am honored to have so many opportunities coming my way. It’s even gotten to the point where I’ve been in collaboration with one of the hip hop industry’s top producers, Hit Boy. We’ve been planning out a set of projects since January and looking to begin getting one of the projects off the ground.

Hit Boy has recently released a track with Beyonce and Nicki Minaj titled, Feeling Myself. We were both in this year’s Forbes list and decided to link up and make some moves. I’m pretty excited for what’s to come of this collaboration.

Being able to meet people such as Michael Pachter, Warren Spector, Richard Garriott, Starr Long, the president of the Entertainment Software Association, and many many more this year has been amazing.

I am back now and ready to tackle some new games that I hope you guys will enjoy. Let’s see what the rest of 2015 and 2016 will bring!
