[gameprogrammer] Re: My game

Much of what I'm trying to do in the game I'm working on is founded on what I 
loved most about Civilization - building the infrastructure of an empire, 
diplomacy, picking off your neighbors, defending your land - games really 
challenge your imagination, don't they? :)

This has indeed been a dream for me since I was young - I wrote a couple of 
little games when I was 16, on an old Commodore VIC 20 on a tape-drive. One was 
a baseball "simulator" that, for some "unknown" reason gave a slight 
statistical advantage to my beloved Montreal Expos, and the other was called 
"Kill Doug," based on a guy at my school named Doug. I didn't like Doug. Nobody 
ever saw either of those games, myself excluded... ;)

But now I'm hoping to create a game that other people might want to play - for 
free... ;)

  And in fact the more you can design an unlimited range of possibilites the 
better chance for success your game will have.

  For example, with the Civilization series there just seem to be an unlimited 
number of actions a player can take, and to this day I never get tired of 
playing the game.



    Truly, game developers impress me to no end, and at 34 years of age I've
    found myself hoping one day to be numbered among them... silly, huh? 

  34?!? You are still a young pup. Go for it. Get yer coding on. Do not let 
anything get between you and your dreams. You only live once.
