Hello Friend,
Just finished speaking at a local meetup here about game development.
I was asked to speak about software development in the context of games.
It was an interesting discussion.

- Big Data

You know exactly what type of opportunity games bring to the table.
The book gives you a good insight of what’s possible with games and software development.
My interest for games has gone through the roof!
I’m now looking for my next project (10-12 month work contract).
Budget is going to be well into the 6-figures and the team to build it is going to be 3-5 individuals.

More to come with games and game development.
Talk soon,
Rick H.
