I'm hoping Entropy will pull enough sales to get me started. My artist and I agree we went a little overboard with it, but we're hoping that will let us make a fairly good splash with our first release. The next two planned titles will be a good deal simpler as far as creating them goes, but should still be very good games, especially for the indie market.

I just couldn't bring myself to start out with yet another pong, pacman, tetris, or space invaders clone :-)

Not that I couldn't do a really good one...ok, getting that idea out of my head right now...
