Hey guys.

Just wanted to let you know that Determinance is in a box:



It's an amazing feeling... thinking of the years I worked on it and could only dream this would ever happen. Guys, take this as encouragement - you CAN do it.

A huge thanks again to GG and the GG community - without you guys this would never have been possible. It's been a long time since I first found out some guys had started seling licenses to the Tribes 2 engines for a hundred bucks and my mind started working...

Ian

Sweet and congrats guys. Awesome, just checked with the swiss distributor, the game is scheduled for release 7th march here :D

Craig Fortune   (Mar 01, 2008 at 15:13 GMT)
BIG congrats mate. Well deserved!

Also, I do think its a tad harsh to glue your copy of the box to your cat's back to act as a walking billboard, but oh well :D

Huge, massive, outstandingly, outrageous congrats! ( I had to top all those other comments ) It's nice to see some one else from the GG community making it. I'll be sure to grab a copy as well :)

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the messages of support! And good to hear from a few of you guys I haven't seen in a while again. Jeremy - DS stuff is going apace, really getting into the challenges of using a system which doesn't exactly have cycles to spare. Good luck with 'Debate, I always enjoy your blog posts on it ;)

Ian,

I well remember the first time we talked about the challenges you would face trying to implement a game as complex and daring as Determinance. I had faith then you could do it and I am happy to be right about that, even if you don't like the humorous songs I show you.

Good job on the box!

Still waiting on the Cloth Pack, did you decide against releasing this?

Scott Warren   (Mar 02, 2008 at 05:33 GMT)
This has got to be the most proud day of your life!
Good thing your cat is guarding your personal boxed version.. Wouldn't want to lose your only copy. j/k.
Anyways, i just got into Torque couple weeks ago. I also plan to have my own boxed version sent to me hehe.

Thousands of us newbies and professionals alike are proud of you Ian!

That just makes it all worthwhile, doesn't it?

It's a great feeling, and a great accomplishment you will always be able to take pride in. Just be warned - when you get a taste of this kind of success, it can get addictive. :)

Big BIG congrats on making this important milestone in your game dev life!!

Happy to see that it can be done

Edward Smith   (Mar 02, 2008 at 10:36 GMT)
Congrats, to make your own game, to sell your own game and then to get in a box! Wow that's just mind blowingly fantastic!

Paul /*Wedge*/ DElia   (Mar 03, 2008 at 04:26 GMT)
Italian release?

Very cool! Congrats!

Cool Ian. You should try to get another copy, take out the DVD cover and Disc and get it mounted to a nice frame behind some glass for proud display in ones office.

BTW I am surprised that it got a 16+ rating, I didn't think that Determinence was that voilent, or maybe I am just desensitized from growing up in the 80s with great cartoons like Robotech, GiJoe and Transformers :)

Robert Dowling   (Mar 04, 2008 at 02:08 GMT)
That's really great news mate, huge congratz.
