Hi Che, Well, remember Audio Game Maker suffered a similar fate. In the days and months leading up to AGM's release it was the talk of the list. It was released, massive discussion, and then as quickly as it appeared it was dropped like a ticking bomb once users found out you can't just run it

Hi, Well, I am really into FPS games. RPG games are fine as far as they go, but I wouldn't live by them myself. As for accessible game developers colaberating it is allot more complicated than everyone deciding just to work together one day. They all have to be using the same programming languag

Well guys, I never said anything about Rail Racer failing, far from it, we have a dedicated core of players that play it day in and day out, especially in the tournaments. I had hoped to move about 300 units, and that may come to pass yet as good word of mouth spreads about my game, but right

Folks, IMHO the blind community isn't notably different from any other collective re entitlement attitudes, or, for that matter, proportion of lazy thinkers, or people who behave unwisely. People are just people: good and less good. As for how this affects our sales: Most computer games end up
