Something I just realized!!!

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Hi.

I've been a gamer since my Atari pong (black & white tv, couldn't afford a colour tv), and I never really cared too much about programming, or the programmers, or even knew what a programmer was except there was a game on my tv screen, and it was just simply incredible playing agains't my brother.

Many years passed away (always never satisfied until I got the latest greatest game), and I read the assorted magazines about the programmers, and how many it took to create a game of quality. I was impressed.

Here it is 2010, and I'm sitting down playing SOW, and during a lull in the action, and watching all of this great action taking place around me, It finally hit me. This incredible game is only programmed by one person. I just could not understand how this could be possible, but here it is, I'm playing one of the best games created by one guy out of his home. It's just mind blowing at what Norb has actually accomplished, and the team he has surrounded himself with.

Then I began too feel ashamed of how selfish I have been when requesting for new, and greater things to be done, not realizing what it must be like to do what he has done. I mean the only thing I've done is have a great lawn :)

I just want to thank you Norb, and to the rest of the team for such a great product, and thank you for the long hours you have spent to bring me a great time.

I just wanted you, and your team to know how much I appreciate what you have done.


Thank you.

It's really amazing what a small dedicated group of people can accomplish on their own in their spare time. Thanks!
