Hi edd a serios question. you used to have a part time job while you worked on your games, then you succeded on this and this is your only work now. But what would have done if you didnt make it to the games world? Would you still have a part time job, work like freelance or what? (Idk if you said something about this on igtm cause its been a time since i saw it)

just before SMB started dev i started to make a living (20-30k a year) off my sponsored flash games (though flash sponsorship’s are basicly dead now). so im sure i would have continued doing flash games for a few years till they petered out and in the mean time been working on something larger to sell on steam ( i already had an in when Gish went up shortly before smb came out).

but if that didnt work out id probably be still doing illustration freelance for tshirt design.. i did a ton of that back in the day. and maybe working at gamestop part time.. if it didnt work out at all id just get a job at a company that was local i guess.

id do whatever it took to continue making games and making a living :)
