After about a year of developing and hand-making copies of my game, Revolution!, and another year of Steve Jackson Games producing their version of the game, Revolution! will now be officially released in April 2009! Here is the official page: http://www.sjgames.com/revolution/

Thanks to all the geeks who answered many of my questions and wrote numerous informative articles and comments. You guys rock! Let this be a little shot of encouragement to all us -- your game can make it!

. . . now we'll see if any of them sell!

Just getting a game published is a huge victory: sales are icing.

Congratulations, Philip!

Congrats!!! Great perseverance!

Can you give us some of your experience working with SJG? Are they easy to contact? What is the best way to pitch game ideas to them? Were they fair on the first time developer?

Looks pretty sweet. Blackmailing has always been one of my favorite hobbies so I might just have to pick up a copy! Congratulations!

Excellent, Phillip! I was going to ask you about that. I'll definitely be picking it up for the kids in the club. They really seemed to enjoy it.

Congratulations, being able to accomplish this in only a year is also a big deal in my eyes. How did you decide/end up with Steve Jackson games as oppose to some other publisher?

Congratulations on getting SJG to produce something other than Munchkin!

(A feat greater than getting published alone!)
