Hi Zachary, I'm glad to know you have found my comments helpful. I'm certainly not the best or worst developer out there, but I do try hard to do my very best when it comes to game development. I have very high standards, and sometimes they conflict with others, and some find them offensive. As a developer one of my standards is quality over quanity. A developer could write two dozen games that are of low to moderate quality, or the developer could write two or three games of very high quality. As for myself I would choose to write fewer games if the games I wrote were of a higher quality than what was available. That is not ego, superiority, etc but just a desire to do my best and have a higher quality product and standards. For example, take Montezuma's Revenge. The Alchemy version was ok, and to be honest James North was just rushing to get it done and out of his hair. I have went back and rewritten the product, and have done all I can to up the quality of the product. I am even working on resolving the multiuser issues so that the game is written to coding standards for XP and Vista. If people want to know why it is taking so long to get it done it is because I am doing all I can to make a rock solid good game, and to resolve problems and issues early on in the testing cycle.
