Firstly, 'Encouragement'.

I found this old screenshots from when Dumbo & Cool was just a month old:



Compare to;



Which basically goes to show that even the most crap start can go on to be half decent. Keep at it everybody!

Secondly, 'A Departure'.

This community has been great, absolutely sterling. The help I've gotten here from everybody I've turned to has been humbling and it's something I've really enjoyed being a part of. Most importantly I could not have gotten to the stage I am at now without it. I'm starting work on a film series I've been dying to get going on now, (You can check up on it at http://www.DDRW.com and see how I'm getting along soon) so the point is, goodbye. I'm not leaving on bad terms or anything, and I'll almost certainly be back when the time is right.

I'll also still be reachable via email, (not MSN though), and of course I'll be fulfilling orders and upgrading Dumbo & Cool periodically.

Thankyou all,
Drew Cameron

Meh. Bye Drew. You did good, man.

(Insanity Complex, I recommend you get rid of your 500KB signature image before you get lynched (ok, flamed) by a bunch of 56k'ers. At an average (mildly pessimistic) 56k speed, it would take 2.777 minutes to load that signature image. That's way too long.)

good luck mate your game was great, im sure you will pop back and do even greater things.
need any help with stuff you know where i am or we are.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself &#63743;

Bye bye. I just watched 'A Wonderful Thing' all the way though, and I have to say it's pretty professionally done. I'm looking forward to seeing the next film you do.

Mod's did that for me. And erm...if it had been able to find the size I wouldnt have put it up. It said size:not available. And I'm running 56k and didn't have too much trouble with it.

I thought the text file in the schmump (sp?) book folder was joking Oh well

Anyways, congrads for DaC Drew, and hope the films go well When you do return to coding a project, remember to drop me a line, so I can test-the-heck out of it Good luck.

Cya Later Drew,

I really really appreciate the usage of your Dumbo model and other things you have done. Sorry for the past annoyances. Good Luck with your show.
