I try to avoid sharing personal life details through Cherry Picked. The mentality of “being your brand” doesn’t appeal to me. Influencer culture makes me yearn for a technological dark age. Moreover, it’s never satisfying to see a Kickstarter project delayed due to slowly unfolding personal drama. I want people to see CPG as a professional entity and that veneer erodes when Alex Jerabek’s problems surface. However, it’s clear CPG is less active following the Hair of the Dog launch and I feel like I owe an explanation. I debated how to post this and want to frame it in the context of other past blogs: a transparent post about the company that hopefully serves as educational insight for other game developers. Four months ago, I had my first kid. It’s been tough to find time for CPG, but the real limiting factor is energy.
