What I don't quite understand is that Mike has been working on the game for a long time as a personal project, so why is Gamespot showing screenshots of it?
Not that I'm complaining, mind you -- I think the guy deserves all the exposure he can get -- but I'm (pleasantly) surprised Gamespot would feature what is, essentially, nothing more than a fan-made game.
Still, I congratulate him, and I continue to looking forward to playing the final product.
