Dagmath, There are probably 800 "goth" textures for Vickis of all flavors: red eyes, white skin, black lips. Does that stop anybody from releasing yet another goth texture pack? Nope. Even if your item is a niche or specialized thing (say a Spanish galleon), it will be different from any other Spanish galleons out there. To further this example, suppose that the other guy was going to release his before yours came out. OK. Make a different figurehead, add some casks or detail the interior, put up an ENGLISH flag... and let the customers decide who wins the war over the trade routes. If you give up before release, you've lost everything: your pride and the time you have put into making the product. Your ego can get reinforced... but nothing will restore those lost hours. Carolly
