Relieved and elated

My first game just received its first review, and it’s killer! I’m a combination of relieved and elated. Apparently IGN is one of our more critical reviewers to boot, and a score of 8.2 is definitely out-of-the-park for us. The people browsing the sites seem to like it as well… I’ve seen rankings between 8 and 8.9 overall. I couldn’t be happier about it.

We received our production copies yesterday, so I finally went out and bought a Nintendo DS so I have something to play it on. In spite of the reservations I’ve had and imperfections that still make me wince, I’m amazed at what a fun game we’ve managed to create. I count myself lucky to have a job with such rewarding elements to it.

I’m still steeling myself for other reviews which may be less favourable. And it’s not all sunshine and puppydogs… I’ve read several complaints now online about a system which I spent weeks creating, and we all knew was going to be a compromise with gameplay. But overall it’s a more positive welcome to the industry than anything I ever could have expected.
