BreakScore® Sincere thanks to the luminaries, loonaries and enthusiasts who have generously provided advice, encouragement, inspiration and support over the years. You lot are legends, and if I tested your patience, hopefully it was not too hard! - Matt Taylor, 2008. The development of breakscore.com, cheers to: Jalitha Vithanage, Belinda Falconar, Blair Polly, Jesse Cogswell, Melissa Hume, Fraser Black, Rich Abrams, Joe Nicholls. The 2008 revision of the rules and revamp of the scorecards, cheers to: Belinda Falconar, Blair Polly, Barbara Polly, Melissa Hume, Alena Rayner, Fraser Black, Rich Abrams, Claire Benson, Joe Nicholls, Andrew Presant, Lance Bathard, Nitan Bhikal, Lance Tomuri and Rupert Gough. The 5th edition, cheers to: Blair Polly, Melissa Hume, Alena Rayner, Fraser Black, Peter McLuskie, Debbie Schulze, Milein Schulze, Sarah Kelly, Ivan McDonald, Vivienne Borrie, Phil Jones, Bryan Heathcote, Belinda Falconar, Maree and Bella Gray, Kate, Nicole, Tessa and Mary-Anne Paterson. So it's cheers to the helpers but not to Creative New Zealand, the New Zealand government funded agency which is supposed to encourage and support the creative arts in New Zealand. This agency assists writers, artists, musicians and composers while ignoring game designers, viewing game designing as no more than a trivial pursuit. These bureaucrats are out of it, or at least they should be!
