John designed some very good games for Williams, I own two of them, TOTAN and CV. He is not a good business man and he is not one to put it all together which he thought he could. Wayne Gilliard thought he could remake MM and I was one of the first to get in line with a $2,500 deposit. Six years later I had nothing, but did get my money back in full. I do not think he ever got the game done, but Planetary did after he sold them the rights. John's problem was the small number of games he wanted to produce. I don't see how at even 12K a piece he could recoup the money needed to tool for the game and make things specifically for it with such a small production number of 12 or even 25. Games have to be make in the thousands to make the work involved pay off. I was almost in for an AIW, but could not stomach the deposit after my experience with MM and I'm glad I didn't. I would still purchase a AIW at a lower price, but more units would have to be made and those who are already in, need to be made whole and some of their money refunded if the price is lower because of a larger run. I hope Deeproot has a plan that will fix this mess. Magic Girl will probably never be revisited...how can it be unless it is completed and all new games are sold at the price people have already paid for them in the first wave. I cannot see that happening. I hope John goes back to his Williams roots and abandons his Zidware spin on his designs because they look plain CHEAP with art that is fantastic, but in the end art is not what makes a game good or great.
