Don,
It's great that you are trying to sell your talent, but don't put down NHRA
Drag Racing or Tony, he did a great job in producing NHRA Drag Racing and
NHRA Drag Racing 2, making it fun and delivering online with weather
variations, custom paint jobs, etc, and we are going to keep improving on
the online aspect among other things I can't talk about.
Do you know the reasons Tony decided to keep the interface 'simple'? my
guess is that you are assuming things. It might seem simple since there is
not a ton of parameters to change, but the combinations are hard enough and
keeps it fun. I'm not going to drop names on professionals that race online
all the time but you'll be surprised.
You wont hear from me or anyone at Moto1.net putting down other products,
developers or companies, after all we are all professionals. We do drag
racing games because is a fun sport and making games is fun and the more
games the better.
Tony Simmerman is a great person and I had a blast working with him, now he
is working in another great product that I can't talk about in here either,
but we still keep in touch although not often since we are both very busy.
If you want to hear what people think of our game just go to
www.racinglanes.com or www.nitrosim.com or www.racegrafix.com or
www.joystickreview.com or ... well there are many but they are all linked
with each other.
I don't read this forum often (busy as always) but I'll keep an eye for your
response if any otherwise send me e-mail.
