.... You leave a place for six months and many things can happen, and nothing can happen as well. This is MofoMojo. I have to apologies to any of the older fans that are still around, and any of the new ones that have come and gone, and to everyone who had some ownership in the direction of Belua Sanguinare. Mostly, that covers everyone.

I took a hiatus to study for my Certified Professional Photographers exam. It's a two part process, a written exam covering the practical knowledge you maintained in your head and a second part covering the submission of working images that would be reviewed by a jury of others to determine whether your technical knowledge and your use of it to capture on film light, in completely controllable situations was passable. All 15 images I submit must pass. In 1 fails, my entire submission fails. I am currently at that stage of my testing.

So I felt the only way to move on was....to move on. Today there are 41 messages in my mailbox. I haven't peeked at a one yet. Somewhat afraid, concerned that I'd have hurt some feelings the way I let things go as I did.

But something still gnaws at me. I still have ideas for how to make the experience of a vampire be more fluidity and autonomy with the way spells are executed. There should be less or smaller tweaks required of the user to achieve certain spells. For instance, going from a jump the user should be able to immediate turn into mist, or teleport without having to cast either of those two spells.

And of course there are still bugs to try and track down and identify. I can't say what or when it will happen but I've started to stretch my legs again. Dusted off the archives, re-configured steam and pulled up some old saves.

It felt like coming home.
