Indeed, he posted much the same to his helichopper thread. Nothing wrong with trying new things, and heading in a different direction. I say, best of luck to you, and if you feel the need to return to coding, it'll still be here for you. Meanwhile, all us grumpy old farts will continue to hang around here, and I hope that whatever it is you choose to do, you'll stick around. Exciting new adventures await!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK  For anyone who cares - here's my latest effort as it currently stands. I care, and I like what I see.

That game looks great! Sorry to see you bow out, but you've got to do whatever makes you happy. Good luck!

Blimey... There's a post I'd never thought I'd see!!! I can understand the whys, but, you've got massive talent... So, whatever happens Dave matey... Keep on tinkering, you never know, you could [well, will probably] get your mojo back and come back stronger... Your built for it!  Or maybe take a look from another angle, you've got heaps of experience in game dev... Which would be invaluable to someone starting out... Maybe write a book in your spare time, self publishing on Kindle is painless apparently... Just a thought!  Anyhoo... Good luck matey, and good to know your not leaving leaving... The internet wouldn't be the same without a grumpy arse kicking about! Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit

Code for the fun and the love - that's pretty much what we all do here. Not everyone seems to understand that though... :/ So, crime does pay then?

Your latest screenshot looks great! With any job the pressure can get to you. I do coding full time for a large corporate company and my "hobby" is creating games... It takes a long time to do a quality game as you know. Our last game (due out soon!) took us over 6 months even though the base framework hasnt changed that much. I am also surprised with your announcement since the amount of time and money (Unity costs) you have put into your new game, it would be a shame to dump all that. Anyway I hope it all works out for you

Inkjet, though. Would you not be better with colour laser? I bought a Dell colour laser, and OOOOOOooooooooh, it's lovely!! My biggest gripe, though, is that it point blank refuses to accept any paper/card thicker than about 200gsm. I have a ton of useless card, here, now!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

If you don't shoot, you don't score! I know the fella that owns this:- [url][https://www.sagemb.co.uk[/url] Kevin, he does well out of it... Seems too anyway, he's the brother of my ex-step dads wife (mouthful or what, lol)... Though I know he's always doing them network breakfasts and what not in the area... Seems to pull in quite a bit of work from that as well! Anyhow... Good luck matey!

Cool stuff with the A3 printer, glad to hear you've got the capacity to handle printing of other, crazier thins than just posters available to you!
