To me, that's the miracle..all I can say is that was meant to happen and no one can stop it

Well said. I can't think of another artist of our time with such a vision and devotion to their craft. Good skillz Jeff

Just thought - this will be a blow to the nay-sayers who say that Yak only writes for Platforms that die quickly - err..... XBOX360 anybody!

Many congrats all round.

Took me ages to work out who this "Ivan Zorzin" chap is.

I am an old 'softie, and I nearly blubbed at work reading Jeff's post here, then I read this on the Llamasoft web site:

Having now watched about half of the (small) Neon movie I can safely say that there's no way I won't be getting one. Last night I was mildly curious about the 360. Ten minutes ago I wanted one, but still wasn't completely sure I'd get one at release. I have no doubts anymore -- even in a window the size of a postage stamp that video is just beautiful. The smoothness of those effects is just astounding. I can't even begin to imagine what it'll be like when interactive.

I really don't think any even slightly creative individual could help finding you an inspiration Jeff. The the amount of talent, vision and artistic integrity you demonstrate is quite simply amazing. Any good things that happen are most certainly well deserved. Sorry, I'm not good with words, but massive respect nontheless.

On a lighter note, the announcement was certainly exciting enough, but I really think it's the new Llamasoft site that topped it all off.

Screenshots, video, lightsynth history and insight into what's been going on these past six months... Plus I finally got to learn Giles' real name, which I've been wondering about but too

(okay, so maybe I could've asked him, but I'm shy...).
