I'm even happier that I've gotten over 30,000 gameplays and lots of great feedback (from the Internet *SHOCK*) on what they liked and how to make it better. I really feel bad about abandoning the Jennifer Ann contest, because I had a really great idea. But with how busy I am with work and this other project I have on my plate, there is no way to make both deadlines. That and I have been thinking of a "sequel" to Strike Eagle. :) Actually, I’m stoked about making $20.

But then I've never really got over the "make money by putting stuff online" thing ;) You could always make a sequel to Strike Eagle. You're in an interesting position: you made a game engine, released an actual game, and got some decent feedback on it, but your hands aren't tied by the <a href="http://freelanceflashgames.com/news/2009/04/13/what-you-should-know-about-making-game-sequels/" rel="nofollow">six month rule of thumb</a> because you didn't get it sponsored. Thinking about it, that sounds like a natural next step in your agile development ;) I think ~$20 is pretty cool actually!
