Looks like Island Storm looks could be a new standard for Blitz FPS games, particularly with Tokamak incorporated.

The rocks idea rocks. Nice title.

I remember your Baddies demo, it was quite addictive in a mindless sort of way, liked the way the saucers loomed out of the mist and it gave good feedback when you downed one – good to hear you’re expanding on it.

Having 3 biggish projects on the go, in prep for an even bigger project? Sounds like a recipe for never getting there. I think the people who get published are those who knuckle under and work doggedly on one project, regardless of frustrations and finally get to throw the ring into the lava.
I think the end of this year/next year could be interesting with the release (as long as people don't flake) of a number of bigger games. There's been a number of good quality (better than Darkbasic that's for sure) smallish games, but no professional quality epics so far (at least not to my knowledge). I guess that's due to the time it takes to develop even a medium size game, the part time nature of most developers, and the many different hats a home developer (or is that 'bedroom coder'?) has to wear.
But I'm encouraged by the news that Blitz is getting exposure on magazine cover disks. Also, browsing the web, there seems to be a spreading indie scene, with new opportunities for selling games through the web opening up. I recently downloaded Iron Tide, a 3d submarine action game from Trygames.com, 45mb download , full game, which after I’d tried I unlocked with my credit card ($25 US dollars) and it was all pretty painless.
