Still one of my favourite games for many reasons, but I think one is because it was hard.
So many games are just next, next, next, ooo sexytime!
All I can offer is my thanks that you found your way here and that you had (and continue to have) the courage to share your amazing work with us all.
Its funny my I found shark and all the other games in a very similar way to you. I even tried to help shark with some of his early translations, however I think he realised pretty quickly that even though english is my first language, my command of it certainly isn't as strong as others.
Now-a-days I scour the web looking for games that come close to yours (as well as those that inspired you): Ariane, Chaotic, DSP3000, Wolfschadowe. All are different, all have their strengths and weaknesses. But even when I go back to it now the story/gameplay/images combination in Christine is still one of the best if not the best out there.
Thank you again!
