Thank you very much. As you can see I am not 150% interested in just development of HL2/shooter mods. Galagone is probably the most straight forward game I have the drive to make, and yet its also the one that I have the most trouble drumming up support for. I was approached by a company in the UK about building it but they had some issues with funding and disappeared; pair that with the fact that I'm trying to sell the game, ergo has to either be on my own engine or find an open source one capable of the calculations I need to be pulling off, and … well… the whole problem of finding dependable help to pull off the project and things get put into perspective pretty well. I am still very interested in building this; to have a source of income coming from the web would be grand, but I am more interested in this b/c of the science and experience that I would have to learn/gain in building it.
