There is also modding to your heart’s content, the Data folder is organized pretty well, and you can open up the “.xml” (aka text files – with notepad) and change health values, or boost up a secondary weapon to be godly.

Love the game and trying to get into it however it is so freaking hard. Is there a dev console option so i can have a chance at playing the game fully? Apologies if this seems like an insult to you since you placed all that effort in making the game. I just keep getting clocked at least 3 times per mission and its killing it for me. Thanks

In regards to my back – its actually very strong overall. And exercise helps tremendously and is a good tip, so is not sitting so much.

Stress is a trigger and it started acting up this weekend. Yesterday – it wasn’t my actual back that was hurting – but individual spine bones – oh man.. vertebrae. So this morning – I put a pillot in between my chair and my back, all’s fine, now the pillow… it does nothing..

Could you imagine if I wasn’t so tired as to ramble more?

Regular, intense exercise really eased up my back pain and improved my sleep. Not a panacea, but definitely makes things more tolerable. Sometimes I even feel good, even on the days where I get no sleep!

I also switch between standing and sitting while working. I don’t have a fancy setup. I place Amazon boxes on top of my desk and use them to support my monitors / laptop, and a separate set of boxes for my wireless keyboard and mouse. Of course, standing for hours has its own problems, which is why I alternate sitting and standing. Nothing can replace taking breaks, but as someone whose day and night ‘jobs’ both involve almost non-stop desk work with computers and books, I know that saving your back and butt can save your soul.

BTW, I have been following your blog and Kickstarter updates since we first talked on OGRE forums while you were launching your Kickstarter. Your work has been a constant source of inspiration to me and set a high bar for the level of output I need to keep up. When Void Destroyer is released and you get a chance to breathe and take a step back, I think you are going to crack a smile at the majestic scope of your work. You accomplished so much in so little time! Few people are ever so productive in their whole lives.

Consider this a virtual high five for all you have done and all you have yet to do. Ragnarock on!
