Ah, so here's where you all are.. good to see you guys!
And DW3 still in production, who'd have known ;D
You know, the funny thing is that with the rise of smartphones we've come full-circle in terms of gaming. Suddenly it's that simple 2D sprite based stuff that's back in fashion. In a world that became obsessed with polygon counts at the expense of gameplay, it's the classic style that's making games fun again. Look at the popularity of 'Tiny Wings' for example - perhaps one of the simplest games ever created! Or Angry Birds.. I was playing a version of that 10 years ago called Worms..
So for me this is great news. I never did like polygons much anyway ;D There's loads of cool QB stuff we've created between us all that would convert brilliantly well to Smartphones. If only it didn't involve learning Objective C or Java, hmmm..

In a world without walls and doors, who needs Windows and Gates?
