From near the end of this article:

QUOTE
Most of these developers are hungry to prove themselves if given the chance, and I believe some of the best writers in games today are thanklessly slaving away at adventure games with little or no funding; play any game written by Ben Croshaw and I’m sure you’ll agree.


Recognition from people in the industry. Congrats, Yahtz.

Coooooool.

Sorry if this was mentioned in another thread, but congrats on the 10
AGS Award nominations
for Trilby's Notes (apparently, more than anyone else this year!) and 1213 getting the one for Non-Adventure. (Although I feel that MODS was robbed in the Music category.) How's that for recognition..

Yeah, I know, nobody's supposed to care about awards. Congrats anyway.
Signatures are overrated.

Well done Y-man, hopefully it'll lead onto bigger and even better things. God knows, you deserve it (I'm sucking up too much here)...

Recognition by the industry?

Yes, just look at some of the great, corporation-licensed games the author of the article has worked on. Only things that aren't kids' cartoons in there are some Civilisation expansions. Whoop-dee-doo. Oh and William Shatner's Tekwar(?) of course.

Okay, so yay for Yahtzee being mentioned once again but he's got much higher-profile mentions than this in the past. It's nothing to shout about.

First off, I said he got recognition from someone in the industry, not from the industry. Big difference there.

Also, you seem to have completely missed the adventure game adaptation of "And Then There Were None" that company did, and supposedly that author also worked on the (again, adventure game) adaptation of "Murder on the Orient Express." Plus, I think the rest of the article lends the guy some credibility.

I didn't know about any other or bigger mentions Yahtzee's gotten, but it was cool to see him get a mention and a link in that article, and on that site.

William Shatner's TekWar was a FPS based on (duh) William Shatner's TekWar novels (they´ve been made into TV-movies too I think). The game used the BUILD engine (you know, Duke Nukem, Blood, Shadow Warrior etc).

The game was made by Capstone, infamous as the worst maker of FPS ever. Some of their credits include Witchaven 1&2 (both using BUILD) and Corridor 7 (using the Wolfenstein engine).

Random piece of worthless information for the day.

THE industry is the WHOLE industry, while SOMEONE in the industry just indicates a single person or a small group of persons, maybe?

Actually he's right, as in to say for example if someone in microsoft would recognise my 'leet skilz' I would only get kudos from him or his particular branch, where as if I get recognition FROM microsoft, then the whole corperation would give me kudos.

Or did you know that already?

Never mind, I can see this isn't worth the time that would be spent labouring the point.

By the way Don Andy I'd probably take you much more seriously if you changed your avatar. There's something about that face that makes me want to bludgeon it with a pipe.

Heh, maybe I took it exactly for that reason. tongue.gif
For me this thing is the perfect blend between two emotions. Although neither of them really bother me currently. I'm no emo kid xD

Oh, yeah, almost forgot. If you rate the seriousness of people by the way their avatar looks, then I don't even want you to take me seriously. But I can decorate my next few posts with nice, fluffy pictures, if you want.
