Re: Has anyone tried to 'cost' their project development?

Good question togFox. I used to time my hobby projects with the taskcoach.org app. It includes time budgeting and effort tracking, revenue costing, prompts you when idle, and a bunch of other useful features.

Re: Uncle Lee strikes again - a mini point & click adventure

Good looking game @apicici! Regardless of meeting the submission date, game jams are a great platform for prototyping new ideas, so congrats!

Re: What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)

No AI, just state machine-based behavior, i.e. based on the standard 9 to 5 scenario and their rush hours, most of the people would travel from their homes (this is generated at the start) to their work - industry/offices (similar) and back. Plus some transport to shops, fun etc. I haven't heard ab...
