If there was one good thing that came out of the Interzone Games debacle for me it’s the people I met along the way (there were actually many many good things that I wouldn’t trade for anything, but this is by far the most prominent). Actually building the things in my head (i.e. programming) has been my weakest point for a long time, but I luckily stumbled into a job a few years ago that let me meet people who do this stuff for a living and are amazing enough to share invaluable bits and pieces of their knowledge.
