Halloween was very disappointing this year. We only got 3 trick or treaters, yet we live in community. From what it seemed; since we live at the corner of a road that only has 4 houses on it, no one bothered to head our way. Tons of decorations, candy, etc, and only 3 visits this year... Wow...
Anyway... Been getting back to work on my project, testing some programming ideas I had, and still writing gameplay and story. I'm still in debate over how I want the characters and Story to evolve, and what kind of humor I should add into it. I hate this process, I just want all the characters and graphics to be completed so I can get on with the programming. It's always the graphics end of the project that slows me down, because for one character its an entire day of drawing and animating.
Other then the game, I have been arguing with Xbox Support for 4 weeks over my corrupted licenses. They refuse to accept that the problem is on their side and are trying hard to close my ticket. This all began when they started the license transfer system, when I do a transfer to my new system I lose Zune videos. I followed their instructions, but they do nothing to solve the problem.
So now they shut me out of my account so they can look into it. Was only supposed to take 1-2 days, but it has taken over a week and when I called they gave me a hell of a time over the phone. They also tried burying this ticket again by posting how I have not been following their procedures when we talk, which is a load of crap because you may as well show that you have done everything possible to solve the problem. What sucks is that the first 2 weeks consisted of me completing the same tasks over and over again, until I finally got fed up with the "repeated procedures" and told them I want this to be resolved ASAP. Whether they somehow renew the licenses or reimburse me... and 2 weeks later I cannot even get the people I talked to on the phone anymore, I feel like I'm back to day 1... dealing with people whom don't even know what is going on and expect me to follow the same damned procedures... I hate modern customer service, and dealing with managers almost seems as lame as dealing with the underlings these days. You go no where. :/
