No offense intended to the IW folks, but the thing you must understand, Esben, is that IW does not have (AFAIK) any professional software engineers. Dom 2 has been created in the "spare" time of a few folks whose day jobs are something other than being programmers, game architects, graphics designers, network engineers, et cetera.

Thank you for posting that.
Actually IW is 2 guys and I think only Johan K calls himself a programmer. Kristoffer O is a teacher and seems to be the source of the thematic research, graphics, etc.

Re: Thank you Stormbinder!
You're quite welcome, Gandalf.
Despite my saying that JK is not a "professional" programmer, he's apparently a better one than many of the CS-degreed migrant laborers (what I call the Indian and Chinese H-1Bs) I've had the dubious "pleasure" to work with. And, if one considers the term "professional" to mean that he gets paid for what he does, then JK is, indeed, a professional. Coding not being his day job notwithstanding.
Kudos to JK and KO.
Of course, my admiration for what they've done doesn't stop me from wishing IW had a professional GUI coder.  |

A professional GUI coder? Or a Windows GUI coder? (just razzing)

I'd settle for someone who's not UI-phobic.  (just razzing back) |
