Richard and MM - Looking for a good publisher?

[Nyx]

Drengin.net run by Brad Wardell of Stardock Systems is a great distribution idea.

I had no idea that publishing and distributing a game could be so full of greif.

Most companies are out to cover their asses, and take advantage of the smaller guy, namily the developer, and that is just sick and wrong.

Most LARGE companies today started out small. Look at ID, Serria, and Activision. They all were small one hit wonders but somehow made it big with the right dealings. I wonder how much that cost them?

Anywho, good luck on the hunt for a partner, I hope one is found that will benifit MM, Shrpanel, very well.

Activision actually started as a maker of Atari 2600 games. Hardly a 1 hit wonder, most their games for the 2600 were good and sold very well.

Of course, since then they've pretty much gone downhill.

What about Matrixgames ? Must..have..Combat leader now..

Matrix is an only Internet publisher just like us so I don't think is an option .

Hasn't Interplay inked a series of deals recently? JA2: Unfinished Business comes to mind.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
