Just re-read this today, after over 2 years.. you got me at the ending again, EV!
(hey, what can I say.. I've always been a sucker for a tear-jerker.. as a kid, I even cried at Lassie movies)
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
I suppose I'd better start work on the sequel again then.
Yes you should.. I'll have finished Kaxgar by the time I get to bed tonight..

There can't be a sequel to Coyote (but perhaps about Sahana's post-Coyote adventures) but I too would like to read one for Kaxgar. I would love to know what will happen to the duo Zak-Tanji...
Today, Coyote hit 500 downloads - it took a while, but it got there!
Fantastic!
I keep meaning to ask Drew how many times Alien Items has been downloaded, but I don't think Drew actually hosts the file, so he probably doesn't know.
You're a great writer and you have a great "voice" (which comes across even in your posts on this forums) - Coyote was going to be (and is) fab - if I played a small part in that being shared with the world, I am happy to have done so.
Why, thank you kindly, sir! If I am a good writer, it's down to a very enlightened English master at my old grammar school, and four years of Latin (which I think should be taught to all kids) - and one other thing, perhaps: I have taught English as a foreign language, which requires one to be as correct as possible.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
Very good stuff!
