well the industry started easy.
And there is almost no motivation to get things going, we don't have
teams of people working on things.
When we do things the longer they take the bigger the flames.
Not to mention that gaming development can't be a full life long job.
And at minimal our games still need to run on someone's pentium
100, a lot of blind people still use old single core systems with
old systems, I still know people that use cracked coppies of win998
and lower because they can't afford anything else.
So if we just didn't do any legacy development past xp and up maybe
we could concentrate on actual real games but thats our lot, I still
have a single core I use on ocation.
It was a struggle to upgrade everything, i have 2 dulecores and 1 i3
though only one of the duelcores is mine.
ANd its really old.

Hi Dark,
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Up until Montezuma's Revenge, now MOTA,
came out there weren't any audio side-scrollers that were true
side-scrollers. Super Liam and Q9 are primarily 1d games. IE walk
left/right. There are no ladders, staircases, or things to jump onto
that would give you a y axis of movement. Just an x axis. Which is
fairly simplistic for the style and genre of games they represent.
However, I think Phil's new game, Perilous Hearts, is going to have
everyone beat. Its very advanced in terms of AI, great sound effects,
and the way you have to climb trees, walk along branches, is very much
in the style of the newer Pitfall games where you have to do a fair
amount of jumping from tree to tree, branch to branch, to get over
dangerous traps in the jungle. So it should be interesting to see
Phil's creativity in action as far as Perilous Hearts is concerned.
Cheers!
