As for the games in the main website, they are all old, don't go by those. Rather, go through the members' web pages - it may take a while to go through all of them, but it is worth it. Most of them are interesting, and many have games and demos available for download (Quick Plug :D such as my website, which has my unfinished but playable [and I think fun] game, Faces of Evil, and my current projects and efforts week by week). > People write in the newsgroups sparsely, and Sony's minimum cut-off > date for the yaroze project is only 2 days away... I'm sure there are many "Ghost" readers in the newsgroups who don't think they have anything to say - ask the right question, or make the right comment, and you may end up with an avalanche of responses. And when you can access the European SCEE Yaroze sites (it takes a couple weeks for your name/password to filter through), you'll notice that they appear to have many more members than us in SCEA, so their newsgroups generally get more activity (and it takes f o r e v e r to go through all their websites). I generally read everything from both sets of newsgroups daily. > Did I sign up too late!? It seems like net yaroze was super active > last year! Now it seems to be thinning out to nothing... Actually, you signed up at a great time - yes, it was pretty active back at the beginning, but then it slowed way down, and just now it just started picking up again - FAST! And as the informal Auditorium chats on Saturdays get more notice, people will get more and more involved. -- - Joshua Meeds Dreamwriter Dragon dreamer@sinclair.net -==UDIC==-
