Message to Mark:
I just wish all this bitching would stop.
Those who are threatening to leave Blitz - let 'em - to you guys, you'll only ever be happy if you get an SDK and C++, but good luck; the rest of us would like a life as well (I gave up 5 years of my life and a marriage for a product that only netted me £3k) so the fact that Mark has provided a sound, rounded framework for my development is a godsend.
I thought 2 years ago that I'd have to write my own 3D engine (!) to do what I set out to do - Mark, thanks to you I can get on with being productive.
But seriously, I know what _I'm_ working on (even if I'm keeping it close to my chest) and the demos, worklogs and galleries are pretty explicit as to what other people are working on. Don't you people realise that we ARE getting to the point where we can match Wolfenstein and Morrowind!
Mark, how many times can I say 'thanks'?
And it's obvious that you know your work well enough that we should trust you as far as what goes in, and what gets left out.
Close your eyes and use the Force, guys. This man Mark Sibly is a champion and knows what he's doing.
And Mark, if you need to charge for each release in order to keep going, then DO IT! I'll pay. Thanks for everything.
(And I hope you're getting a life somehow, as well.)
