That really weird feeling

It might be considered pimping, but the truth is, this is the only place online where I can imagine myself sharing that completely insane excitement that torns me.

The thing is: first relatively serious commercial game title I have contributed to, has finally be released!!!
Dark Horizons: Lore is indy project, made by completely crazy mecha fans and just released by GarageGames.

http://www.darkhorizons-lore.com/welcome.php?44.255

For those around here who have released titles under the belt, its no biggie, I guess, but I`m all dizzy. Concept artists get raped on every corner in indy world, as its extremely hard to tell who is doer and who simply talks big. You have to deliver concepts, but soon you find out that not a line of code has been written and your concepts are worthless.

Working with MGT guys was completely different, they had invested both money and time in Lore already and were willing to finish the thing, not breaking in the middle, although they had to adjust their ideas time to time in order to fit indy resources.

Damn, I guess I just wanted to say that I`m happy

Coolness. I second Sanjuro. I wish he had a skill too.

Man, you could have told us earlier! And by ''could'' I mean'' should''. It''s not like some of us aren''t trying to cover products like those that are driven by the Torque engine and will be published by Garage Games.

Hehe, thank you guys. Just for the record, dizziness fades out after a while and is replaced by stone cold shock about those thousand things yet ot be done. Guess its natural balance to prevent too much happy people around.

Spunior, well, I think I have some ""do not pimp in places you come for spiritual eneregy"" complex or something

But I promise to keep you posted about one other interesting project - very energetic online FPS sports title. It just has to pass the placeholder art phase, right now its fully functioning ""blue cubes vs green cubes""

Well, a search for DH:Lore turned up this as the first relevant post (rare for this site), so I thought (even more rare) "why start a new thread?"

Browser history? Anything > 30 days gets banished to the forgotten site world.

Intentional necromancy is by far the worst kind.

Poor form, if you ask me.
