Re: Oh This Just Ticks Me Off!
My experience was much the same as Lord Shleepy's. It was not so much that I was bored with the games I'd been playing, but that they were the sort of games that once you've been through them once or twice there's not much else to do but look for Easter eggs.
So I started a search. I spent some time looking over the freeware and shareware until I got hold of SEIII. It was tough getting started, but for some reason I had to learn to play it. Then, later on, when I found SEIV I had to buy it. Three years later, here I am hanging around in the Shrapnel Forums and playing SEIV Online.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I had to go looking in order learn the game existed, and it's that kind of interest that eventually leads us to a game like SEIV. I don't think there's anything wrong with the Online approach to promoting the game. Maybe there just need to be a few more links out there.
(hmmmm...what game like SEIV?)
edit: decided to get Lord Shleepy's name right. I had it 'Lord Schleppy'...heh heh
