Some, I haven't mentioned, but David G is still around, Jim Kitchen's still working at games, Phil Vlasak is still working, and Thomas Ward will be in some sort of ancient underground something or other when he can once again find his house. (grin) We appreciate all you guys, and hope you continue. I'd like to start game production, but need programming knowledge and experience. It'll take time. I have a few ideas on games I want to produce or improve upon. I'm not sure on copyright issues. For example, what about pretty much the same game as someone else's, but a totally different aiming method? That one just might cause problems, wouldn't it?
