Some friends and I are (or maybe were) working on a very cool game (can't promise anything about the gameplay - Coldstone limitations you know - but our story is top notch) but we're a bit stalled due to the fact that not everyone seems to be willing to make the time commitment, and even though we finally have good programs (Photoshop 7, Cinema 4D XL 6.3) we can't figure out how to use them to create the graphics we need. I can't anyway, though I am familiar enough with how they work.

I think you're misunderstanding RD. He's just saying, "If someone asks whether anyone has finished a Coldstone game and released it to the public, answering 'Well, I'm working on such-and-such right now' is not a relevant answer." Which is true.

I don't believe he's in any way denigrating freeware games that have been "made and released," but rather just saying that a game which is still in development has not, in fact, been released yet.

You read me correctly, Glenn. The original question asked if there were games out there, and the answer is, "A few have been released." I had no intention of knocking anyone's work and I know also how long it takes to make a game. The fact that there are several in development is great, but it doesn't answer the original question. ~RD

That was the answer the last time this was asked; "Sure; there's a lot of cool games being worked on." I'm glad we still have that passion and interest and it is nice to hear about projects in progress. But as far as I can tell the answer to the question is;
"Yeah, a couple small ones and some demo levels."

Glenn sez:
**Well, OK then.
/me throws away his current project folder.
Glad we got that straightened out before I wasted any more of my time making a visually monotonous, recycled game.

A scratching, a glint, an instance later a small nondescript blaze.
Pupils dilate as the figure kneels and aesthetically conjures forth the trapped souls within the engulfed document engendering a jimi-esque demonstration. An eerie distortion can be heard over the crackle of the carcass ::
