Last night I was kept awake by anxiety about the new game.  All the detail I’m gonna have to put in… it just seems so daunting.  How did I do it for Karateka?  I can’t remember. I’m not sure I can do it again.

The Doubt is still there in the back of my mind. It talks to me from time to time.  ”Jordan!” it says. “What are you doing? You’re taking a step backward. You want to be a filmmaker. It’s time to move on! You brought the Apple-computer-game thread of your life to its climax a year ago. You caught the industry just before it started to die, before you started to lose interest in games yourself. Now you want to do ‘just one more game’… why? Timidity! Fear of breaking loose! You’ll waste a year, man! If you’re going to try for Hollywood, now is the time!

“Shut up,” I say, and Doubt grumbles and crawls, for the moment, back into its hole.
