As a developer, things usually go smoothly till something pops up, like with Judgment day. I wanted it out September first, then school and personal life came along. And the games take a back seat. The one nice thing is, it's given me more time to go back and refine some systems in the game and make them work better. Sometimes the delay is worth it. And sometimes it's not.

It's just a lot of trouble for the dev when you don't have anything to release on time. I'm not a programmer myself, but I have listened and I know that much. If I ever do write a game, I will not guarantee anything until I am 100% certain I can keep my promises. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "x-sight interactive" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected] >Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2006 14:33:28 -0000 >Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bavisoft's lack of customer service >i can understand why it takes so long in the first place - i think they >use >c++, which is a much more in-depth, structured language compared to vb, >which is what most developers code. but the other side is when they >say they have a target date set for september 2005 and they don't tell >us what's going on, it's a little hard for people to keep their cool for much longer. >that's just my opinion, i'm not that impatient, but i can understand >both sides. >regards, >damien >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Bryan Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected] >Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 1:37 PM >Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bavisoft's lack of customer service >> Fraudship implies that they won't release the game.
