The reason my version of this (LojbanQuest) never got very far was that I was not a programmer at the time. I was just a graphic designer and game designer. There was not enough workforce to make it a reality, and those few who did put work into it were not as good at usability, human factors, and game design as I am, so they made some decisions that made the whole thing an uncomfortable experience to use. It only would have caught on and become popular if I had programmed it myself and retained control of creative decisions. Now that I am a programmer, I'm too busy with trying to forge a new career. -Eppcott On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 8:08 AM, .alyn.post. wrote: > On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 09:36:45PM -0800, Lindar wrote: >> http://groups.google.com/group/lojban/browse_thread/thread/e0c88f79c4c7bf6f/12268fa1f427c0f0 >> >> Had the idea before.
