I have just read on your site that you are going to be writing the HALO prequel. In a turn about has anyone ever approached you to do an online multiplayer game of the Jarts vs Human's in a Way universe? I've played several myself and would love to see that universe(yes i've seen the cg challenge) and walk virtually in that world.

We've certainly thought about it. But no action at the moment.

Jason,
I would love to play a Jart Vs Human campaign its so fully overdue - or is it ripe? Needs canvassing in the gaming industry to try and gain interest - Greg have you ever considered multiple advertisments for an expression of interest to the game developers or sending multiple proposals widespread into the gaming industry including the gaming colleges like the ones in Australia, 2K Australia made Bioshock and thats an epic game, there are game developers everywhere. The Crysis game engine is being offered free to student game developers so there is plenty more opportunity for game development these days with awesome game engines like Crysis or Unreal Tournament engines. Bioshock used an Unreal engine. A Jart Vs Human campaign can be a Mod add on to an existent game even, massively reducing cost and development time to get a foot in the door, heaps of people make Mods for fun.

I'm sure there are lots of ways to promote the Way, but we're working the old-fashioned Way at the moment...
