Originally I wanted the game to be that you controlled a giant, titan[www.gamesworkshop.com] like robot and commanded huge legions of troops but then it just turned into herzog zwei the more and more i thought about it.
Did you achieve that concept?
Yes, i think the game is the best and probably only 3D remake of Herzog Zwei that will ever be made.

I programmed my first game in 1999. You were a wizard who shoved blobs through crystals at other wizards. Yeah, Kind of weird.
Do you think you impacted the gaming community?
Certainly.
If yes, then how much do you think you have impacted it?
There have probably been over 10K downloads of the game and I think alot of people like it. It is a very niche game, but there are always people who will like any game you make. Just always a question of how many people, in the realm of financial success. However, I think that the effect on the gaming community is very strong: a game many people wanted is now available, and that makes me happy.

Cyber-Wing is as a whole package definitely my best work yet.

We did finish some games, look up Chain Raid and Merchants of Andromeda.

I do still play alot of old school games, both for fun and inspiration to make new games in their spirit.
