Afternoon World..

Random (possibly boring for everyone else except me )bit of news... Stormy Studio is now a Limited company. Registered officially with the Companies House in the Uk. So I'm graduating from a Sole Trader into a company. Woo!

I've jut finished framing the certificate and putting up on the wall, next to a new a4 Film poster for 'MOON', one of my favorite films.

It just means there are some easier (and possibly some trickier) things to do come the end of the tax year. It also means I can sort out my business account and hopefully steer me towards doing more and more with Stormy Studio.

So exciting news for me, and probably boring news for everyone else.

    Nice one, congrats! I formed a UK Ltd company for my game dev exploits too. It does feel nice and professional when you start getting mail addressed to 'The Director' B-)

    Cheers guys... its a simple step but feels like a great one.

    To go along with it, we've created our first manifesto... (I've put it in the 3rd frame I had on the wall) ... clean and simple...

    Congratulations Stormy, that's a big accomplishment, and definitely one you should be proud of! The first year around tax season is going to be…interesting, but I'm sure you'll get through it. Looking forward to seeing what you come out with over the next few months!

    I got another Trademark word approval come through yesterday too! My game is coming together - and now I get lumped with lots of client work - boo - well it's how I make money - so game dev is on the sidelines again.

    @StormyStudio if you like Moon, have you played The Swapper? Lonely space adventure that is really cool :)

    Cheers to all ...

    @matarua , I've not played The Swapper ... I'll check it out... the name has made it onto my real world pin board.

    This is hilarious - I search for YouTube of the Trailer for you and here it is... but I don't recognise a lot of it? I played this and completed it to 100% - weird.

    Congrats @StormyStudio ! It's a great feeling to own your own company. Keep track of all your expenditures and you'll do just fine. Best of luck for the future!
