Thomas, Please pardon me if I am missing something here, but from what I have gathered, you have around 100 pre orders for the game that were bought for $45, most of which James North got, in exchange for turning the project over to you, is that right? Again if I am wrong, my apologies, but how are you going to drop the price now to new buyers when the people who pre ordered will end up paying 10 to 15 dollars more for the same game? From a fellow developers perspective, this whole arrangement with North seems like a raw deal for you. From reading your updates from time to time about Monty, it seems like you have basically re coded the entire game from scratch yourself, the map generator North provided was unusable to the blind, and yet you are on the hook for lots of pre orders that won't show you a penny. I'm not sure how many copies of Monty you anticipate selling, but based on the sales of Rail Racer, which I realize has a more narrow market due to its complexity, if you can hit 300 sales with Monty, you will be doing quite well. I am sure there is no way to back out of the deal with North at this point, even though the difference between what he promised and what he delivered seems to be more than a small gap, but if there is a way, I would check into it if I were you. Lord knows, there is not much money to be had in AG development, but there is no need to give it away for no good reason my man. I wish you the best with the game no matter what direction you take business wise, nobody but a developer knows the work involved in releasing a new title to the blind. Good luck, Che
