The other game "Veggie Tales Creativity City" is a 2D based Paint and Print program I created using C++ and Microsofts GDI Plus system calls. Because of the Big Idea license my royal portion was small. I opted to take alot of money up front in an advance.

I personally like GDI Plus alot. Anyone doing Windows 2D programing with graphics should use it. It's free, it ships will all XP systems, you can install a runtime DLL for non XP systems, its fast and reliable.

I have titles under development in Cipher right now. These are slated for release later this year. I have a publishing partner for these programs and we are very close to finalizing the distribution deal. It has taken many months, to get this new deal put together.

I will be returnnig to 3DGS for USA Bass 2,per Valusofts request. I will try and take advantage of all the new cool things that have been added to 3DGS over the past year.

I want shader effects for water, boats, fish, and fisherman, I am dreading writing shader ASM code. I plan on using Marco's physics system to simulate fishing line.

I will be trolling around this forum looking for advice on Shaders, Physics, and outdoor environments over the next 60 days.
