10 years from announcement to release. But it's been on hold for a couple of years in the meantime.

Prey was actually fun, although too easy and linear

Ok, ok. We did not only make 'mad Tracks' in two years.
First we developped all our tools. Both graphic and physic engines are our own. These will be used at least on three to four games we'll make.
Then we made two and a half Mad Tracks (Mad Tracks PC, Xbox360 and got pretty far on the PS2 version).
Last, we started working on ToW 4 months ago and it looks sleek already.
But sshhhhhhh...

Cheers,

ps: yes we did drink a little more than average - hence the Advil note...

"Things on Wheels" (working title).
I can only tell you it is intended to be on XBLA and it involves cars.
Cheers,
Denis.

I play the PS2 version sometimes when I'm nostalgic.
The working prototype is fine but we never manage to sell it to any publisher.
Oh well.

Cheers,

Denis, can you tell us what you think about XNA?

What it means to you as a developer. Do you think that a smaller dev house like yours will start to get problems with competition etc?
