Hi Dakotah, I also found a printer which was more in the 400 USD range but I have no idea on its quality or stats. I just happened to see a link in passing. Perhaps I'll search this one out now. You are right, I shared the link simply to contribute possible options not only for your venture

Hi Steven, Regarding the sounds and music remember that there are other parties involved. If a developer like Justin buys the sounds and music from a place like Sound Ideas he can not legally transfer ownership or distribution rights to another party unless they also license them from Sound

Justin owns the software, and can do with them as he chooses. This includes shooting himself in both feet and possibly leaving a bad taste in the mouths of gamers. --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: dark d...@xgam.org To:

Hi Charles, Well, I don't hold anything against Justin personally, but after this incident I will not buy from any audio game developer who uses a hardware based key system. While I know the reasons for tighter security, the desire to cut down on piracy, but that does not justify selling someone
