Hi Jeremy, I remember the conversation in question, and I also remember coming down on the side of completing major projects like Swamp rather than several little games. The main reason I said what I said back then is it seemed like you would start a game, get half way through it, start another one get half way through it, and so on meaning you had several little betas but no complete projects. The advantage was that there was always something new to play with even if it was incomplete, but the disadvantage was nothing ever got completed.
However, I think you have gone so far in the other direction that it is equally as bad. All I've heard about for the last few months is Swamp, Swamp, Swamp, and haven't seen anything new. Swamp is a great game, its fairly complete at this point, and I personally would like you to try your hand at something else for a change. Put Swamp on the back burner for a while, and see what else you can come up with. :D On 3/22/13, Jeremy Kaldobsky <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd also love to set Swamp aside to work on other games, but so far that > hasn't been easy.
