Hi Tom No way Raceway, should come out "the" game, since the wait been so long and besides, your right I only started first to get some termenations downs down correctly. Some was kidding around with the figure 8, but was making my point as well, that yes, version 1.x will be a fine game and add ons can come later. Many sport games do this for doing replays of past seasons and to build on the game with cool other features. Thats why, I just want to remind you of keeping the programming to a module style, so things like add tracks, other types of racing machines. ONe thing is in your favor when developing the game is that your the only one programming it and will, know all the ins and outs and keeping a dictionary of the varibles and such with a module type of application. When more then team of programmers are developing a project this does become a hamper to be sure all the names for the varibles are nameed the same throught the application. As we see with MicroSoft things that has so many problems with security problems is the fact that they do put security items in the programming, but its the revaribles that creates cracks in application and other errors. So they continue with patches for this and that to fix things and that break things cause of varibles that are not static.
the only person who was duke in by a thinking that by buy an additional copy of Raceway, was taking it by faith, that Mr North was good enough for his word. Not going to hash old trash talk here, that is not constructive. as I and and others do or had investment in Raceway at least should be the first to get a crack at the game first. These gamers as myself has been waiting for our ride for a long time. I can not remember if you did or did not get an listing of those who preorder the game from Nr North and that if did that can help you in doing something special for them. Those who di are very grateful for you in stepping up to the plate and taking on someone's elses promis. Not many would and thats a very noble thing. Time and money is everything and not to say the work put into it is hard or fun or both. Hard work is fun if you like hard work. Tom you must love the work and it must be hard, not only just programming accessible games but being a MOd for a pretty hi traffic email list. By the fact you care so much about the blind gamers that it looks to be a passion for you. So, I have no dout the products you will create will not be fluff in a box, but a product that will have meat on its bones. Games that are replayable, aceesible and challengeing. When I was youger I played many games now that I am older I select a few games that keep me iinterested. That being my own work and play. Creating Jaws configs for the Strat-o-matic sport games and able to be involved in a baseball drat league, I being the only blind person in such a league, takes most of my time, while developing other projects. What about Raceway? Well, I not only put my money into developing a "Nascar" game I feeling that adding my input into the subject is one of those side projects. So, while we all have projects, we try to keep the road clear for the number 1 project. For you being Motny, for me to playing baseball in a league with two teams, thanks to the league commissioner, I feel that I have to show that the blind can be in an email league with those who have vision. To able to keep up and get games in on time. Life would be easier if I only had one team, but having both Chicago teams in a league does show yes I can even handle two teams. So life is harder but sweeter having my beloved Cubs and White Sox teams to manage. It won't be long now. Just think ahead will less and less updates about Monty is posted and more and more Raceway news. Oh, boy!, So, I and other will be tuning up and tuning in. the expectation of knowing that just more email about the developing of Raceway is a year a way gets me all Revved . Up! Credit to you and those who invested in this dream should get there name in the credits for Raceway for keeping the game alive this long. I would love to get a credit inserted in the game if I am able to by either suggestions, testing, financeing the game. I do what I can to support the blind comunity in giving tech help, create my Jaws configs for Strat, dong my blind accesible pools, broadcasting and financeing causes like yours and Raceway. Once Monty is a resale item and should help with the cost of Raceway's development. So, build the dammist best Monty game you can so that is a nice huck of change for Raceway. Once I see MOnty is bug free when it is released I will add my donation to Raceway and get the Monty game. I would be doing the same with fPhils new game, but seeing some trouble on the list, had to hold my horses before getting the Sarah game. And there we are agin around the track of create games that will be a grat game to play and error free. So with all this said, I'll head for the pits. Just remember that we are all cheering for you and pulling for you when things tend to go into the wall. We are behind you, drafting maybe a little to close at times, looking down your tail pipe, Smiles, just keep up the good work. God Bless your family and yourself.
