Quiet Sunday morning to catch up after a packed post-GDC week. A $14,575 wire landed from Bank of America on Friday — likely a client payment clearing. Ivan Chan from Scopely confirmed the Tuesday 3/31 meeting, so that's locked. Brandon Huffman replied positively on the operating agreement, and John Bond from the Seattle Indies connection says he'll reconnect this summer. Five deal channels were active in the last 72 hours: Bungie (usability review pitch), 2K Horizon (hopeful client response), Netflix (new Best Guess Live opportunity), Nexon (UX research logistics), and Nintendo (developer registration). The 32 draft emails — mostly GDC and Merak follow-ups — are waiting to be sent.
