A Future for W.R. Hutsell's VGA Civil War Strategy Game.

    When I was a child I played the shareware version of W.R. Hutsell's VGA Civil War Strategy Game. Eventually I saved up enough money ($10) to purchase the game. For hours on end I would play and replay. The game stuck with me. Eventually I wrote Mr. Hutsell and requested permission to create a website for his game, he not only gave me permission but also allowed me to sell all of his games and keep the profits. Wow. That doesn't happen every day. This went on for some time, eventually with his permission I began giving the games away, and so they are to this day.

    But the games are becoming outdated - not because they aren't still entertaining, but because they were written for DOS and haven't been updated since. So I talked to Mr. Hutsell about rewriting the games. He sent me the source code. Now the problem was that I couldn't perform graphic design, but just within the past several days I listed a job on several freelance sites. Now a development team from Serbia has bid on the job and sent me some sample work - that looks excellent. I have accepted their bid and am awaiting their response. Hopefully I will be able to post some of the impressive concept art very soon.
