That's a pretty shit name for an exhibition. They should go for something more commercial. Given what they look like I reckon "The Morecambe & Wise Christmas Special" would fit the bill

I only pop in here once every few months, and every time there's some idiot with more time than sense posting badmouths. (seems like someone called "Saint" Sandy this time)

I'm not a "fanboy" who will lick Mr Minter's arse but I have loved his work over the last 20yrs. He's like any other person .. has good and bad points I imagine, what is totally uneccesary though is any kind of attack (sly online) or otherwise, against another person's creativity.

Please think long and hard about what you are contributing to the world at large before taking the easy option of making snide ill-informed comments online folks; respect people that do find some time to "do" creative projects, consider "doing" something yourself.

Entirely disagree. entirely.

This is not to say that I agree with what Saint Sandy had to say, but to suggest he attacking anybody is ridiculous. He was (perhaps slightly heavy handedly) trying to help. Thats all.

I suggest you pop out again for a few more months and stop trying to cause trouble.

To be honest, the thread was dead long before Sandy posted. Jeff got the arse and went "Oh, fuck's sake, some's remaking my game"

The guy stopped developing his game because of this.

Jeff said "Er, fuck. Erm. No, dude, it's fine."

The guy started developing again because of it.

End of story until a major new revision comes out.

Heckling me as to what I "should" and "shouldn't" do isn't really much help, TBH. I've always worked by doing what feels right to me, and that is how I will *always* work.

I show WIP because I figure people may be interested. I'm not asking to be judged on my WIP. It's not a request for people to tell me what they think I *should* be doing. It's a courtesy. It would be *much* easier and less annoying in some respects to keep it dark and not show aught till it's done, but I don't, cos I'm a nice guy

Keep showing the WIP Chaps....

Frankly I fucking love seeing the pics and vids.... but thats because it's been years for me to be excited about a Llamasoft game.

And thanks to the likes of Geometry Wars I've rediscovered my love for the shoot em up all over again. (And the relief that my reflexes aren't as shite as I thought they were...

)

I thought Jeff did the right thing with the friendly gesture to the other developer, warmed the cockles seeing that...

Ps. And for what it's worth. I like the Space Giraffe name... it's kooky enough that many people will download the demo just to see what it's about. And thats 90% of the way there for a sale! And Goat knows I would love to see the game getting the same love as GW:RE... Now that really would be a stunning new chapter and audience for the Llamasoft label.
