Hi Darren, Oh, how I wish it was that simple. I still feel I owe everyone who paid for the game something, but I am at a cross roads between doing what I want and what others want. Frankly, the old side-scroller was suffocating my intellectual and creative desires that are so important to game writing. If you smother the authors creativity and desire to write the game the game will show its authors lack of desire to create it. I love programming for the very fact I can be creative, but a game like Montezuma's Return made me feel like a kid forced to copy his spelling words 500 times during recess. Boring, uninteresting, work for the purpose of punishment. That is really how I was starting to feel towards the end. Nobody on this list knows how many times I failed to watch a movie with my family because I was working on the game. Nobody knows I haven't played my guitar in six months because most free time has been spent on that darn game. Most people don't know I gave up reading time to work on that game. Frankly, I pored my heart and soul into getting it done, and then I was forced to take it down by the copyright holders of the Montezuma's Revenge and Montezuma's Return copyright holders. How in the heck would you feel? Frankly I am down right depressed and upset about it. If it were my choice to do all over again I would tell James North to keep his games, they are his problem, and let him deal with it. I would now be working on my own games, in my own free time, when I felt like it and not trying to meet some schedule or do date.
