Hi Elaine
I'm not gonna speak up for James 'cause he's perfectly able to do that for
himself, but I just wanted to point out that James made it very clear that
the Genesis project has been shelved, and that it wouldn't be developed
anymore because the idea was too ambicious for the current technology, it
was just too big of a game for the resources he has...at the moment. I did
notice the same thing about the release dates, so I can agree with that. I
really liked Dynaman so I bought it right away. Now I really like Hunter,
but because of lack of funds, I'm gonna have to wait til after the demo is
over to buy the fully playable version. I guess it's all about making
choices and while i can say James has the right to release games whenever
he likes, I do think that if a game is ready, release the damn thing
already, don't wait for another developer to release a game and then say,
oh! it's finally ready! I hope esp raceway doesn't come out at exactly the
same time as Super Liam, 'cause I am most definitely going to want to buy
both of those, and currently, the wallet ain't just fat enough if ya know
what i mean.
So come on guys...work together and not against each other ok? We have
such a small market that it just doesn't make sense to make people get all
upset.
