Just wanted to say that I love your new book "Complicated Game". It explained some things that I had always wanted to know about your music, especially from the Nonsuch era. (My first XTC album.)
Just picked up the Fuzzy Warbles collection and I'm really digging your demo reels, etc.
You mentioned you've never thought of yourself as a solo act, but have you considered finding another younger musician to pair up with?
For example, drummer Neil Peart has done some work with Matt Scannell of Vertical Horizon. ( Here's a tracking session of them working together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nywYiKeX6g )
Apparently, they were fans of each others music and they really worked well together.

That's everyone's dream, man. It's why you're getting downvoted.
Everyone wants to sell their "idea" and reap the profits without investing any "sweat equity".

MVC is definitely the go-to architecture for games
Really? I wouldn't have guessed. I would have figured MVVM would be the dominant paradigm. (I realize they're quite similar.)

Do you have an example of your code? (not necessarily the code you wrote for these apps.)
Mostly I'm curious how far you've managed to get in 18 months. I find that most people who start learning how to program don't actually get very far and level off quickly. They seem to get stuck writing procedural code and never learn software engineering architecture. Though I suspect you may have pushed yourself to actually learning OOP and Design Patterns and Architecture and things like Unit Testing / TDD.
