John Passfield (co-founder and co-owner of Krome Studios) has the fifth installment in his game musings series up on his personal website. In this installment, John talks about the lack of exposure our game developers get from local press and gaming magazines. What's surprising in some cases, as John points out, is that the knowledge and know-how that our developers can provide are pushed aside for the opinions from overseas individuals, even when the topic concerned is of our own industry…

"Currently, at Infinite Interactive, we are just bringing our latest game, Warlords Battlecry III, to beta. As always, having a game in beta is a mixed blessing.
