Well speaking for myself I agree with the person who said we are dealing with an imperfect situation here. I too am one of those who purchased the preorder from Alchemy way back in the day which by the way I never do and never will again other than for mainstream titles, but this game just sounded too cool. When Alchemy went away I was fully prepared to eat my 35 bucks or whatever it was. I was totally jazzed when Tom took the project over. Sure it is frustrating having to wait several years for this to turn out, but frankly anyone who gives Tom a hard time about this has a heck of a lot of nerve in my view, because 99 times out of a hundred they'd've just been out the 35 bucks and that would have been that. So Tom, do it the way you want to, I've waited this long I can wait a little longer. as you surely know by now you're never gonna please everyone no matter what you do so you may as well do it the way you want to. You've put a lot of sweat into this project and it should be something you're proud of when you are done.
Best, Tom -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 11:32 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Levels Hi Shaun, Yeah. Thing is most of them have no clue what is like to create a multipurpose game engine and then still produce a game at the same time. It would be kind of like writing BGT and Q9 at the same time. Since MOTA requires the G3D Engine there is no question which product comes first, but having the engine more or less ready for production now will mean I can crank out games in under a year. It just requires that piece of software I didn't have two or three years ago, and I happened to have to write by hand because there was no BGT to purchase at the time. Cheers!
