Re: [stella] Authors enjoying games?

Mixed bag, actually.

Star Fire I started to hate at some point during development. I got sooo 
tired of playing it over and over during the final testing phases. What 
made it worse was also that it was so extremely difficult to program and 
that it took so long (18+ months...). I don't think I ever touched it 
since I delivered the final binaries.

with Gunfight I was similar worn out during the end, though I was forced 
to play it on several occasions, where someone would "challenge the 
author" in his own game. Last time when playing it against Thomas, I 
actually thought "Wow, this is really good!", so maybe in another year or 
two I can try and truly enjoy Star Fire ;-)

Now Seawolf is really weird. So far I loved every minute of programming 
it, as everything just "fell into place", almost as if this game was 
already there all time, just waiting to be programmed by someone...
Same with playing. With every little detail I  add, I enjoy playing it 
more. It almost feels like I'm programming my personal favourite here...

Greetings,
	Manuel
