Honestly, I think understanding your *tutorial* is more difficult than understanding your game. Maybe rethink the tutorial itself? Show lots of "match" examples?

I am looking forward myself to go to my first GDC probably next year, if everything goes well (had preliminary discussion with my wife and she was open to discuss about it so its a good start ;-)). As for the last paragraph in your blog I am definitely interested to hear your view on this topic. As we we also the same big long discussion when we form @Quebarium in early 2007. We wanted to do the game we like/enjoy not necessarily the one that will bring $. Since all of us already have a regular working day job where we do thing that is not always fun, we felt more compel that everything we should do should thing we want to make. But something we do have conflict on that topic, since we would also like one day to be able to do this full time (which means it need to bring enough $ to support us) and we already made some investment in hardware/software, registration, developer program fees, etc... We will need to find the right balance at some point and I sincerely hope you can too and continue to work for what you have a passion for! Very great first impression!

We really should try to get some of the SW Ontario indie devs together at some point. @Noel – I feel like the last paragraph deserves its own blog post. :) Maybe I’ll expand on it at some point.

I feel like I almost don't have to do a write up myself. I agree on every single point, but in particular your last paragraph. GDC has definitely inspired me to work on the projects I want to work on. It's a direction I had already been going, but now I feel even stronger about it. It really was an amazing conference!

What I don't have, is a good way to do localisation, so I was hoping to go with this system. I wonder if a balance of texture fonts and rendered fonts makes sense.
