Wow that sucks Paul. I hope you'll find your next job with ease. You were a day-time software guy too am I right?
Nothing at all. Too busy.
None, just game engines or tools.
I make simple free stuff for fun.
I'm working on a commercial project and can talk about it much. (NDA, etc)
I'm working on my own creator-owned project.
I have a lot of prototypes/ideas, but I don't really have any concrete plans.
Yeah I did Delphi development + Excel Visual Basic macros in my job, mainly for in-house programs, utilities, and automation of work.
My main job was content design for our Electronics Design Automation (EDA) software, but I did do lots of programming over the course of around 13.5 years in this job - a bunch of that was making some plugins (DLLs) using Delphi for the EDA software as well as the utilities and job automation programs.
I am really good with Delphi I think

Heck I don't thinki anyone would dispute your work in delphi but it sure does suck to see so many talented and awesome people being made redundant these days...
I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.
I'm currently on my current project, FAR Colony (or FARC), and it has just 3 years since August 16 now
The Alpha 3 [0.5.2] will be released in the next days.
There are again 2/3 years of work until the complete beta stage.

I tried your game some time ago and must say that I haven't played it a lot. The main reason was the fact that I never actually figured it out how to play it (there was no tutoria at the time I don't know if there is now).
Anywhay it surpised me today when I learned that FAR Colony is done in pascal. I honestly didn't knew that before.

I figured that out myself.
If I would have known then that it is made in Delphi I would have definitly contacted you and maybe even offer my help (probably wouldn't be of much help since then I had almost no game development expirience but still). As for now I do have three projects of mine in development (two are currently on hold) and I also keep close eye on two games which are still in development phase (none of them is being made in pascal - shame) and offer some of my ideas to the authors. Just for quencing your curiosity theese two games are Towns and Gnomoria (I did lose a bit of interest in Towns).
Anywhay maybe some day in future I guve your game another try and come up with some ideas. If I do you will be the first to know :-)
