Good, I've got you're attention,

            If you are reading this, it hopefully means that you are
still using the Yaroze. I have something to say and I hope it prompts a
response.

I am looking to build up some interest in the Yaroze amongst the members
because as of late there seems to be a sharp decline. I am (like most of
you) hoping for a Yaroze 2, so we need to show Sony that it is safe to
do so.
        Now I read somewhere (sorry who said this, but I forgot so reply
and let me know), that one or two people have said that there isn't
enough 'good' people to
warrant the release of a NY2. (I understand what you are saying, but
bear with me and I'll explain my point).
    What I think of the situation is that with the Yaroze, people are
taking on too much. For instance, where in the Industry do you see
people doing al the work, the graphics, the sound, the design, the
code....etc......  On the Yaroze there has been a few excellant pieces
of work (albeit mainly from those who have attended some sort of
university course), but I think there are a lot of varied talent. I've
personally seen some excellant programmers but not artists. Lots of
brilliant tools, but no game demo's. Lots of good artists but not enough
coding skills to make things work.
    What I am saying is that we all want to enter the same Industry but
at different positions, so if there is a NY2, (or if NY continues),
maybe it is a good idea to group people into their prefered role. I
would like to also see more groups like Team Parc (although you guys
need to hurry up and knock out some more quality games :) ).

    Anyway, what I want is for anyone who is still here to reply to this
message. Tell everyone that you are still about and what you are
currently working on.
Alternatively, reply to let me know if you agree/disagree with this
message (it is designed to prompt some kind of response).

        Well I'm done,

                        The CHIEF


p.s     It is great to see Chris Chadwick and Scott Evans back with site
updates.
