Sorry about that! I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the series, though. I haven’t worked with Mikko Kaksonen for years, and unfortunately I don’t remember any of those solutions anymore.

(I used to be like that, until I found that my incompetence brought me to the need to find help) Hum, now that is curious. You don't want to make games for a living? So it's more like a hobby? :P Hum, and I've been playing notepad and flickerstrings, I must say, this experimental vein of games is completely different from what I've seen until now. Such a peculiar treatment of the gaming scheme! Also, I don't mean to get to your privacy in any way, but you wouldn't have any sort of place where we could talk? I understand if you'd prefer not to give it though... Hum, I suppose that makes sense, regarding what I said earlier about artistic vision and all.

I generally want to hold as many of the threads as possible by myself. That's selfish and dumb thinking when it comes to bigger projects, but I can't really help it. I also wouldn't want to make games for a living, so there's that too.

I mean the sort of companies that provide you with a team and all. There are even a couple independent brands out there... I don't know if I'm making myself clear, but that's all my English allows...:P Oh…game companies then? I mean the sort of companies that provide you with a team and all.

I didn't quite get your question, though - what do you mean by 'game labels' in this case? Thanks for the compliments!

In that sense, I suppose competitions can actually get a person to work! :D As I understand you are not signed to any game label, or anything of sorts. I'm not really surprised, seeing so many musicians and mostly visual artists share their work for free, but I must ask, wouldn't you prefer it that way? Don't understand this as any sort of advocating of the mainstream working etc., it's just I think artists (hope you don't mind if I call you an artist) sometimes could make better work if they had more tools to their disposal. Oh, and I forgot to mention, your cartoonish drawings are just delightful! ;) Oh, I didn’t understand that there were no monetary or similar prizes.

Well, one significant thing about competitions is that they have deadlines. Having a real deadline and only a small amount of time to work on the game helps me concentrate on whatever I think to be the 'important thing' in the game, be it a gimmick or a game mechanic. None of the competitions I've participated in have had real prizes, so I don't think the way they're supposed to make people compete for victory has really affected the games. Mind you, usually I'll come up with a game idea beforehands and then get into working on it as soon as possible (with the theme in mind as well if there's one). Thanks for the comment!
