Though it's worth noting that the most complimentary feetback you're likely to get is from other Yaroze members. 99% of the population have little idea about what is required to make games - I've worked on commercial games and most people assume I do the entire thing myself, graphics, sound, the lot. "How many games to you write per day?" and "Hi, I love your games. How do I make 'Quake'?" are the most common questions I get asked. It's pretty amusing to start with but gets old very fast. ++Ben "Matt Verran" wrote in message news:9tmasm$dq98@www.netyaroze-europe.com... I've just thought of another good reason for yarozescene to have a web board, because it's public so people who play our OPM games can leave us nice/horrible massages about how much they liked/hated our games :) pal wrote in message news:01c173f7$de4402c0$652d1bd4@pal-s-omnibook... > I share Steven's point of view... it will be a good thing that an alternate > forum be ready in case the official one goes down (let's hope that doesn't > happen of course), but for now I'd rather stick with a single place.
