Jeff, you certainly did not let any of us down!...sharing your thoughts here about your great vision that was and is Unity and the peeks you gave us of its development have been a great experience for me personally and I am sure for a lot of others here too! And alone for that a big thanks and *hug* from me
New it should of been on the xbox, think of the virtual light stuff and things that could have been done on the xbox its so much more versitile than the cube + it plays cd's
Oh well back to T3K then.
Ah no way! Dead sorry to hear about this, but as you rightly say, better this than to release an unfinished product. On the plus side, what an astonishing amount of research in lightsynth technology... way ahead of so many others, and that's a bloody public service, that.
I do have one query... what was the music you had in mind for it?
Make it up as you go along: that way it is never wrong.
Hay Yak had you written it for the PC you could have then released a product called steam and then released an unfinished product and then sold it to thousands of people and updated it in little bits until you had finished it :-/ but then you have a conscience and a heart unlike Valve :’( and I understand what you have done is for the best and for you.
Hmm... Exterminate I suppose? teheeheehee yeh blast em all blast blast blast, Exterminate woohoo bang booom splat Exterminate!!!
In 1982, yea, 22 years ago a friend of mine gave me a tape for my Vic 20, Gridrunner! a copy too ... it was a game I played like a mad thing for weeks. Enough pocket money then allowed me to actually buy it, which I did... it was that moment in my life that hooked me on Llamasoft.
From that point until now Jeff has pushed every boundry of game design and play... he never feared what his heart told him and followed everything thru to conclusion whenever possible...
Jeff, you think you let us down? You daft ole Yakky, in 22 years my friend you have been the sole reason for playing games! You have never let us down, you have kept us on the edge of our seat! We are the lucky ones to have been part of this world of gaming.
Whatever happens next I know I will be as excited as a schoolboy... Keep the faith my friend, the future is .... Zarjaz ...
Good luck in whatever you choose to do next though
Grand Master Turing once dreamed that he was a machine. When he awoke he exclaimed:
"I don't know whether I am Turing dreaming that I am a machine, or a machine dreaming that I am Turing!''
Seriously bummed at the news, but rather more bummed at the idea you'd honestly think you're letting us down, Jeff.
You've been a constant source of creative inspiration to me, and your many games (and lightsynths) from the C64 era onward have given me more pleasure than any sentient being probably has a reasonable right to enjoy.
Your vision is unique, and I for one have infinite patience when it comes to any new offerings of Yakly goodness. Take care mate.
