Personally, i like a something in between-instead of a lot of little games
or one huge game, how about a medium ammount of fairly complete games eh? At
least now you can take what you've made with Swamp--the security manager and
so on, and bring it to all your new games. Quite cool.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Looking For Something New to Play
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

I'd also love to set Swamp aside to work on other games, but so far that
hasn't been easy. Swamp got so big that it took a tremendous amount of
time
just to maintain it, and the security. I do plan to do other games and
projects, but I guess I have been telling myself that for 6 months, haha!
Actually, the guy who was constantly bringing out new games like Towers
of
War, Dog Who Hates Toast, Castaways, and so on, was in a lengthy
conversation here on audyssey where the majority of people agreed that
instead of a lot of little games, a single game should be stuck with and
developed into something really big. I prefer doing a lot of smaller
games,
but I went with what the community wanted and we have Swamp as a result.
I
was pretty sure you participated in that conversation Thomas, but I might
be
remembering it wrong and you may have been on the side supporting more,
smaller games. It's been a long time. :)

Hi Dark,
Yeah, same here...... Castaways was a game I really liked
when it came
out. Still do, but as there is no new content I've grown a
bit tired
of it, or rather the current version. I wish Aprone would
set Swamp
aside and continue Castaways or produce something new like
he did when
he started out. It seems these days all Aprone works on is
Swamp,
Swamp, Swamp, and what happened to the guy who was
constantly bringing
out new games like Towers of War, Dog Who Hates Toast,
Castaways, and
so on?
Cheers!
