A Possible Second Income.....?

Hey GG'ers,
I just wanted to share something that may be useful for some struggling developers out there. I myself have been working a full time job to try and get my game company off the ground and it's been a huge struggle these last few years, 50+ hours a week for my job, family and whatever time I have left in the day for game programming. Within the last few months I've been able to slowly cut back on the hours I do at work and have been able to put more time into finally finishing our first game title Koth. The work is completely unrelated to games but is related because it's helping me to free up more hours at work and to devote more time to making games. In 4-6 months I'll be able to devote all my time to making games, no more day job, hooray. I don't want to get into the nitty gritty details on the GG site as I mentioned before it's not really gaming related so if your interested and want to hear more please email me: dalo at chaoticstudios dot com and I can fill in all the details then. Thx.

I think the stylistic gameplay twist on the fps genre and the overall-concept is interesting. Almost reminds me of an alternative universe to MDK or maybe Soulreaver(netherworld-ish). Rich concepts. It would be interesting to see what you guys could pull off with a decent budget and some skilled drones to command around.

Yes we did remove it, it was a version from last year and quite a bit has changed since then. We have been working on the Mac port and getting the Green Ear ready for both Mac and PC. I actually just finished the Mac Beta like 10 minutes ago. So now the Mac and PC Beta versions are ready to go for our beta testers. I just have to make the new demo's now ;-)
