I like that, very concise. :)

We actually found that buying an engine made our *first* game more
expensive, because it wasn't as good or complete as it claimed to be (don't
think I should name it) and we had to jump many hurdles to find decent
performance and build nice, clean game code that would work on all
platforms.

We actually ended up writing our own engine (in a hurry) and switched to
that during the first game, and I'm glad we did. It gave us back a lot of
the control we felt we had lost.
