I try to get almost everyone I know who's a gamer to take a look at your site, David. Got one guy addicted just from the Lugaru screen shots.
Though, I'm not sure we need more forum n00bs over here too soon. All that whining! Gods. Anyways, instead of attracting people over to this forum, why not spread it on others?

---note: I skimmed this topic, reading only every other fifth word---

:idea: IDEA:

Why not submit the info on David's games and such to some widely read gaming magazine? Gamepro, etc. People are bound to be curious to see what a lone developer/programmer/designer/jack-o'-all-trades can do, on a Mac, even. It's bound to make a good article, and the hits on wolfire.com would go up like a doped up SaturnV rocket.

Though, David, you make the call on this one. I'd reccomend that if you go through with it, that you make a demo version for Lugaru for PC's and Macs that have a time limit in them or somehow whet the appitites of those who play the games but don't keep them satisfied like you do with us, your loyal Beta-testers. 'sides, you wanted to keep the number of testers out there to a min, right? Also, I'd lock down the forums so only us who are here now can gain access until the heat dies down (assuming it ever would).

If this post didn't make any logical sense or coherence, it is because it is currently 2:30 and I killed stuff online in a stressful match.

I think it would still probably be most efficient to wait until Lugaru is done before trying for mass publicity of any sort, though of course it would be ideal to maximize publicity now AND on release 8) .

You know what that means. I and everyone on these forums has to keep our mouths shut untill the games release. I'm not sure how good the reviews will be since it takes around 1 hour to beat the game but as long as theres editing tools for it then there will be great value in the game.

An hour you say...?
Well, hopefully by the time the game is released there will be more than 5 levels, and maybe a rabbit AND wolf campaign.. of course there will also be user built levels thanks to Lugie.

What about texters and models? You have to put that into the editor you know zip.

Actually, I think it's been established that only david can add models. Not sure though.

Well... I may write a seperate app for mod switching, I.E managing different sets of textures, maps, models, and sounds.

Nah, GamePro is kinda sucky; if it's gonna be a gaming magazine, it should be Tips & Tricks :wink:

Not gamepro. Maybe gamespot or G4techtv. IGN has a mac game channel.
