I wonder what&#8217;s in the PYL pipeline at Fremantle?) from the games menu.

I&#8217;d have to make the game better, then, but that&#8217;s OK.</p>\x0a<p>PayPal donations are accepted to have Pacdude Games buy the PYL license.

But, on the other hand, the people they trust with their valuable assets make terrible games (the DS version of Deal or No Deal, for instance. Sorry DSI. You guys make shitty games and you know it) and thus devalue the value of their valuable assets.</p>\x0a<p>I&#8217;m sure most of you would agree that the Nintendo DS version of Deal or No Deal is a steaming pile of Howie Mandel flopsweat compared to the Pacdude Games version. If I added more shine to it, I&#8217;m sure it could even be mass-market marketable. But NO, because DSI has money, they can buy the license and make a mockery of people like me, who actually CARE about the game show they&#8217;re making instead of making shovelware.</p>\x0a<p>I suppose I&#8217;m just bitter that I don&#8217;t have the resources to make quality licensed games. And that&#8217;s terribly not fair. But I have quality and you the fans on my side. How can a company ignore that?</p>\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_text_post">\x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_title">Wireless, in every sense.</div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                <div class="tumblr_body">\x0a                    I don&#8217;t have wires to get the internet. We have to come to a coffee house in order to check e-mail and all that, so when designing a game in an environment that lacks internet, I have to plan ahead. I have to figure out what fonts, sounds and music I need, what sources I have to use and get, and then download them. Fast. Luckily for me, the new project has many different research sources. I just have to pick and choose what I want. I think I should be fine until I get back to the United States, but until then, I&#8217;m keeping this project still under wraps.\x0a                </div>\x0a            </li>\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            <li class="tumblr_post tumblr_text_post">\x0a                \x0a                    <div class="tumblr_title">It&#039;s good when it works.</div>\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                <div class="tumblr_body">\x0a                    I&#8217;m on vacation in the Philippines right now, and during my downtime here, I&#8217;ve been programming some stuff.

Casual games, all that jazz) face.</p>\x0a<p>I&#8217;m still learning how to overcome those.
