As for an RPG, I could see Cippy and Flossy taking starring roles in an Animal Crossing flavoured RPG for the DS.

I like the concept of Llamasoft remixes of popular genres, thinking about it.
We need fresh Ideas.......I'm glad someone Agrees.

Now I'm thinking what a Llamasoft racing game would be like, I'm guessing somewhere between MarioKart and Wipeout, with a heavy dose of F-Zero. Oh daddy :D

Well its a pity with all your tallents you don't make some proper games. Instead of all that retro stuff. You have amazing mind. you are just waisting time these days. I like to see you do some FPS, RPG's for the 360.

There are already people doing things like those with studious employing
hundreds of people per project and gamers still complaining that the
things are not like they would like to see, the the graphic and all looks not
"so next gen" , that the physical simulations are poor, that the gameplay
is too short and they want longer games .. etc. etc.

We prefer to leave all that to someone else that enjoys doing it :wink:
Well you continue to stay in the past then. You are going to get left behind. The industy soon forgets about guys like you. Yak could have been as big as llionhead studios. You think about that. peter molineux has change the industy in many ways. you could be doing that too is all I'm saying.

They only reason people hate short games is because how much they cost and how much profit these game companys seamed to make. If going to make a short game, then make it half price. not full.
.

Now I am being BAD ok .. but "you called for that sentece" ..

Should I remember you that "thaks to those so big you did NOT see Unity ?"

.. and now back to work ..

Easy to talk man.

Founded 1982. Still doing it. "Left behind"? You can kiss my hairy @ss.

Moly's doing his thing, I'm doing my thing. Still both here.

Do people hate short books, short films, or short records? Your criteria for judging are, frankly, bizarre.

I do what I do, I do it for a particular reason, and part of that reason is that it isn't anything like the stuff that you tell me I "should" be doing. And if someone decides that they don't like what I've done on the basis of something like the file length, or that it's not enough like stuff that I don't really like in the first place, then hey, they can go maintain the status quo, I'm cool with that.

I am glad he does retro style games with a unique twist each and every time. Meow you speak of fresh ideas and what not but fail to look at the whole picture, he brings his own unqiue visions and touch to each and every game. I for one would follow him into the depths of hell and back.

I look forward to his next work, and attempting to drive him to another genere such as rpg or fps is simply wrong when where he is, just fits so right, and if you can't see that, then you my friend are as blind as a bat.

Mr Minter is a legend, and you should be ashamed of yourself speaking to him in such a maner, you may call me a brown noiser if you wish.

They don't work like that. Books, Films, Records are different. They cheap too. With games its lot more involved. I hate short game simple because its feels like a whizz. You just get into them and its over. I get annoyed at that. B/C thats cost 70-80 bucks. If a Video games was the cost of a book/movie/film which are about 12-15 bucks then I wouldn't.

Simple answer - don't play them. There's more than enough out there for all tastes. :)

Nobody to blame for Unity but me. It was (and still is) a beautiful concept but the gestation time was too long, is all. Maybe one day.

I shouldnt' be so flippant, even when I'm drunk. Was just picking up on Giles saying "thanks to those so big you didn't see unity" in reply to someone saying Lionhead was big... :)
