The only thing to do is if we all mail George to try and get some sort of response, but I remember late last year he was absent of a long time and took an age to respond. All I want to know is exactly where the whole thing stands with Sony right now. On the amount of Yaroze games being produced, you're right, they are slowing, but I think folks are still producing them at the sme rate as always, but with less active members the quantiny is obviously going to go down. > Still like Matt says, there have been a few good entries, and I for >one would be making a BIG effort to create more games if we only had even a >little acknowledgement from Sony. I know how you feel, I've been working flat out to finish Tanx2 just now, and it's a little depressing that there might not be a fame game to enter it into, as it is nice to get a bit of acknowledgement of all the effort we put into our games. A large compilation disk would be a great idea though... Stuart.
