Btw, if we really want to get ambitious. I think a lot of these projects would be much wider received in Japan, where the SoM devkit never seemed to have taken off / inspired the imagination of the Japanese, but nevertheless I think the games would be much better received by the fan base there. I think we should eventually translate the projects into Japanese/make them available in Japan. I know a number of people, but at least one guy in particular who would help us with that.
Also if we can really polish these (I'm pretty good at this I think) so they are solid gameplay/fun wise. I think there is a sizable "auteur" element of the game fan scene that feel they are just being completely under served by the game industry, and with the right kind of publicity might well embrace these new games... as in fundamentally superior to what is being stocked on store shelves these days. I know I could definitely use the publicity anyway.
