it's kinda like ur... ok, a previous poster said. O, it was tom--excuse the
ramblings, it's 10:30 and coffee doesn't seem to be doing the trick. It's
finally disapointed me for the first time in my Life, how sad.
Anyway, returnning from the tangeant,
It's unlikely that david would be able to make a large proffit off of more
versions of shades of doom, or gtc as he's already sold the first copppies.
It would have to be set up so they paid an upgrade fee, which would not be
much of a net proffit, considering how much the games cost anyway.
Basically, the proffit output may not offset the time and effort needed to
provide music, more sounds, and most of all the research and development
that would go in to a game like this.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] To develop the idea from GMA?
demitry is right though in a way, we have doom 1 and then 2 then 3
although there are reasons why david may not choose to do this and I am
sure he has thought about it in detail I have wandered if there would be a
sod2 sod 3 and gtc 2 and 3.
I'd really like a tank game with more missions and the ability to put in
unlimited missions.

Hi,
There is a lot of reasons why GMA might not want to expand upon GTC and
SOD. Making games is a matter of time, money, and interest.
The first thing to keep in mind is money. If a company hopes to sell a
game after they sell x copies of a game they will reach a point where they
will saturate the market and won't make any more money off it. Since GMA
offers all or most upgrades for free GMA isn't making any money off
continuing SOD or GTC any further.
Then, there is the matter of time. Every software developer needs to
decide how he/she is going to spend their time. Are they going to spend x
hours on an all new revolutionary game they can sell, or they going to
spend it making upgrades for a game that has already sold as many copies
as they can sell. It is smarter to make the new game from that point of
view.
Finally, you have to consider the developers personal interests here.
Perhaps David Greenwood feels GTC and Shades of Doom are complete products
now. In that case he would have little to know interest in expanding or
continuing development on either game since he thinks of them as finished
products.
Cheers.
