Congrats! I don't buy many games anymore (I haven't bought one yet this year!) as I don't have much time to play, but I may buy this one. I wish you all the success in the world!

Ooh, that gigant of the indie game is released!!! :) Congrats, man, you`ve gone through a fair share of workload.

I preordered MOM this past weekend and have been playing it a great deal ever since. Job well done. I think when people realize this was made with Torque it may bring a new rennaisance to developers. Its one thing to see people realize a project of a traditional smaller indie scope, it's even more of an eye opener to see something so huge come to life. You guys and gals at Prarie Games should really be proud of your achievement. I'd love to see a post mortem about the development of thisgame.

Congrats!

After my final tomorrow, I will finally get a chance to play!

Todd Pickens (Dec 14, 2005 at 18:02 GMT)

Checked out the demo this morning, Well done. Congratulations!

Rodney (OldRod) Burns (Dec 14, 2005 at 19:13 GMT)

I've been in Alpha/Beta since about May. It constantly amazes me that this game has been put together so quickly. After switching to the Torque engine at the first of this year, you guys have done incredibly well at building a game that's fun to play and even more fun to edit :)

And to think you did it with basically a 3 (4?) man crew is absolutely astonishing!

Take a bow Josh and Lara - you guys have done a hell of a job!

Now that beta is over and I don't have to fear another wipe... my quest for 100/100/100 can begin :)
