Reply to comment by DarthMobi in "Make something small at first. Just get something published!" they said... "Hold my juice..." said I. No, I did not spend *all* my savings (I've got kids to support!), but after 2 years of nerdy-hobby mode, I've been working full-time on World Turtles for over a year now! by GideonGriebenow

Hehe. I actually contacted Rhianna Pratchett and she's fine with it. The World Turtle myth is of course as old as the mountains. As long as I don't make it Discworld-y, a few hat tips are in order.
I like to think Terry Pratchett would get a smile on his face if he saw this...

Glad you got the joke. I was a bit worried.

I'd love a word with Death or Terry Pratchett any day!

Obviously licensing IP to a solo dev is probably not gonna happen, but I’d love a Discworld strategy/sim. I’ve only played one of the old point and click games, but I’ve spent so much time in that universe and would love to have something immersive like that.

Many of us feel this way :)
