Thank you, Dave Gilbert
Ok so if you have no idea who Dave Gilbert is, you probably don’t know anything about Indie Games. Anyway I’m not writing this to educate you about the scene and all it’s about (although I will probably in the near future do so).
So let me get to the purpose of my post.
Dave created his own computer games, using the AGS engine created by Chis Jones. He has now successfully created 2 commercial adventure games and is busy creating a third one called : Blackwell Unbound Dave sells his games under the the name Wadjet Eye Games . Dav’s previous two games The Shivah & Blackwell Legacy can also be found on the site.
The games themselves are amazing, and with every game Dave creates it just gets better. He works hard at bringing the best quality to the players and that is primarily what my post is about, the hard work that Dave puts into the games. When you play the games you get a nice polished feel and enjoy the game. The music the graphics and everything works well together, and whilst playing the games you get that uniqueness from it that every over-bloated 3d clone is lacking these days.
Games like these is why game design and creation has intrigued me from a very early age, and I guess this is pretty much what I am posting about mainly. But I don’t get that feeling from games anymore, it’s all clone after clone and no unique identity to the games anymore.
Luckily for me I found the Indie scene, and that has sparked new life into me. So whilst I have been in the scene for a long time I haven’t really done anything other than the odd animation or sprite for other games. Maybe brainstorming with Buloght on some puzzles & ideas, for his games. But that was about as far as I have come… not counting the 3 games that have made about 5% progress on my hd. Jonathan Crest, Drug Money & Gary Gauch.
Well it is about time I start getting serious and create my first game out there. I have officially started rewrite a script of a game that I intended on creating as my first game. Altough it’s short and sweet it will be to get myself up to par on creating th more demanding titles.
So I guess I should say thanks to Dave for the new zest of life that he has given me in boosting me again to start being more active and doing what I have always loved.
Thanks Dave.

Trust me don’t google that cause your going to kick yourself in the head. Desktop TD is EVIL! Or maybe it’s physics since it makes time miraculously disappear.
