Thanks for the kind words! Yes, there really is a big difference between a craftsman’s satisfaction at doing a job well, which we aim at whenever we take on a contract, and the feeling of actually owning the whole product … no matter how abbreviated it is from what we’d *like* to produce! So yes, we thoroughly recommend you give it a shot, dubious investment though any rational evaluation would consider it And good luck with that next milestone!

BallZout looks fantastic – you really nailed the graphics given limited resources. I am in the same position as you – contract work all the time and no time to do more ego-fulfilling own-game projects. Following the orders of people not familiar with the games industry for 10 years has been a similar experience for me – it pays the bills but doesn’t offer the same personal gratification. And just like you, the lost income from working on indie projects means my game will have to sell a heckavalot to compete with the alternative which is doing better paid contract work. You’ve inspired me to give the challenge a go… I just need to finish this next client milestone first… =(
