No way! Don't be ashamed of releasing a simple game as your first. Look at Liam - he released a guess the numbers game originally, and now look where he's at. Superliam, JD ... Even I had to start small. I released Acefire, don't know if anyone remembers it, or has it, but that was written using the most basic easy-to-use software - AutoIt and COMAudio, and the game itself was so basic, in fact it was more a chance game than a shooter. Speaking of Acefire, does anyone still have a copy of it? I've had numerous requests to carry on development with it, so if anyone's still got the last version, even the version which wasn't supposedly open source, I can still get at the source code, and I'll carry on development with it in vb.
