The best delivery I'll ever receive

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...

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

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 ;)

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.

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. :)
