The thing that puts me off orbiter is the idea you have to take a degree is
astrophysics just to play the game. I that wasnt the case Im sure it would
be more popular. Its like many games around at the moment - the developer
has forgotten that it a game after all! It should be made a little more user
friendly.
Hasnt the bloke looked into obtaining funding for releasing it as a full
price game? Im sure there would be loads of interest. Hes really losing out
on a load of money IMO by doing the thing is such a minor way. I mean Im
sure its fun and all but why doesnt he go about it properly which would
enable him to make it into a truly brilliant game available to the masses
instead of being as it is a rather quirky cult type thing? And make loads of
dosh for himself at the same time? Doesnt he have a job?
