Hey Jup, when are we gonna get to see that bad boy finnished?

As of this point, I can not foresee having the time to ever get back to that project. Since I last worked on it, I have changed computers and am not even 100% sure that I have all the core files on back up discs. The old HDD is in storage with the VBasic software and all those programming notes & book. There's also the fact that my work schedule has become complicated (currently doing 48+ hours between two jobs) and the fact that I have other projects in mind that also get neglected. (I did my best programming work at 1-4 in the morning...no longer possible.) And then, there's all these free library DVD's that I've gotten hooked on for many months, now. The other week, I had nearly 30 discs checked out at one time. As of yesterday, it WAS 10 and jumped to 17. I never thought that I would be catching up on 25+ year old Disney films. Heh...missed a lot. But, that's what TV and movies do to creativity and time...entertain in exchange for consumption.
There's also the facts that when I did this game project, my intentions were divided between using it as a skills developing task and creating a game for the fan base that WASN'T going to be a concern over copyright...because, AT THAT TIME, the KR franchise wasn't so hot. Since then...all seasons came to DVD, season 1 went to that Apple viewer deal, 2 "official" KR games were released for the Europe market (And elsewhere, so they say) and the making of a new movie went into effect. Besides, I never was pleased with the core interface that couldn't visually handle curves in the road. Alot of the other stuff, I had figured out. But, curves and making 200 MPH "LOOK" faster then 20 MPH eluded my techniques.
(As of this reply...) I had better sign off and prepare for another day of work. Got money to make for those bills that need paying. And, I'm crossing my fingers that the computer finishes installing the latest batch of convention footage from my movie camera before I have to leave.
Life. It's what gets in the way of imagination. Or, aas old Marvin (The manic depressive robot) would say: "Life. Don't talk to me about life."
