Chapter 15

Devon Beck was more and more grateful, as the summer months passed, to know he had reliable old friends to call upon. His original crew from the basement days were on his speed dial and came through for him whenever they could. With his plate full of a diverse selection of projects, he could not have managed to keep on track without their help.

On the back burner, but still valid in Devon’s plan, was the online game idea he had first envisioned in Mexico. A recent encounter with Portia’s paintings had awakened his interest in combining advanced 3D techniques with realistic objects to create an environment for interaction between gamers and their perceived surroundings. This would require expensive equipment including game headpieces to be worn while playing. He had a starter fund for this eventual purchase but more immediate projects had to be completed before he could afford to add to that fund. Meantime, two of his buddies were busy working out the parameters of the technology and devising virtual characters for the game. They were spending time watching and re-watching James Cameron’s Avatar movie as well as a 3D film of Cirque du Soleil made by the director.

Devon was able to enlist the help of another of his crew to scour internet sources for sales of the antique collections held by his grandparents. It allowed him to concentrate on more money-making schemes like advertising plans for new companies who had been impressed by his work for his father’s restaurant.

Abi had passed along the news that Portia was delighted to sell her paintings and she was really encouraged by his interest. He had gone ahead and mounted the finished foliage piece on the board box for his office wall and it was definitely garnering a lot of interest. Abi was informed she should keep their cousin busy with more paintings as he could assure her of more orders.

When he had a spare moment in his day, Devon remembered what seemed like ‘the old days’ when his buddies would gather for secret midnight sessions of Extreme Metal. From his present perspective, the ambitions they had to hit the big time of musical ambition were mere pipe dreams. The reality of his situation now, surpassed anything he had been able to imagine back in the day but he was glad the band had stayed together each pursuing his own talents and joining forces to help out when required. He was involved in so many innovative projects that stretched his mind. It was stimulating and enervating at the same time but he was discovering each exciting idea gave him more energy for the next challenge. He was a young man in the perfect place at the perfect time in his life and he was determined to make the best of every single minute of it.
