One of the first things that hit me when I went "full time" was that pinheads are the most impatient species on our planet.
Imagine dropping off your car at the mechanic and being told it will take 2 days to fix. As the customer, do you go home and immediately call the mechanic to see how you car is going and can it be fixed today as you need to go shopping ?
Has ANYONE been ripped off ? Predator, WOZ, Magic Girl .. Whats the hold up on TBL ?
I heard a story the other week from an industry heavyweight that Thunderbirds was "never going to be made". After laughing I thought about the comments and put them into perspective. I suppose if you have never built a game from scratch, or had the "dream" to build one and failed abysmally, then you would hope that anyone that makes it past first base fails.. I think some industry people are so quiet they need to make stuff up and fire up the natives !
I suppose the positive is that once Thunderbirds is finished, then the focus will be on another manufacturer / developer
