I have my love/hate relationship with Rev, and there was specific moments during development when I just wanted to go back to C++/OpenGL, mostly due to bugs that are still unfixed and halted/slowed development and limitations (Please Rev, bring your sound engine to the modern day and stop relying on quicktime!..iGame3D already has the source-code for you... and it'ld be a dream to have graphics done via openGL to take advantage of hardware accelerated 2d). All in all it was a big effort and I hope to continue supporting the game throughout the months, at this stage I'm leaning towards my next game being done in c++ and opengl, maybe 2.9 will have that little something extra that makes me stay 
/Press Release
I've finally released my first game, Gladiator Trials II Feedback would be most appreciated
GTII is a tycoon/management single-player game with aspects of multiple genres including RTS, Sim and RPG. Build up your camp and hire Peasants to prepare the food or fetch water for your every hungry Gladiators, Assign them to the Weapon or Armorsmith and have them forge new equipment to assist your Gladiators in the Arena. But don't just rely on a sword and shield to win, train your Gladiators at three different buildings to raise his Strength, Intelligence or Dexterity. They're not the only ones in need of training though, having your Peasants train their speed and intelligence can make their job easier, which can mean more profit for you!
All this happens in real time, so make your slaves are always happy and well paid. Make sure you always have enough gold when Payday comes, otherwise your camp may just become deserted. The real game starts in the Arena, choose which Gladiators to enter and from there the Sim portion is paused until you return. The arena is turn-based, each Gladiator takes his turn under your control, either moving, attacking, casting a spell or resting to regain his strength.
The fun doesn't stop there, after playing through the game's official campaign you can play around with the built-in editor to Create your own Scenarios and campaigns, or even delve into the Mod Editor to create or modify Opponents, Spells and objects.
