The only reason Marine Aquarium has been so successful is that it's a one-man operation.
I believe the success of Marine Aquarium is based on the quality of the artwork and attention to detail. Do I think quality is exclusive to 1 person working alone? No.
There are just too many examples of extremely high quality movies, TV shows, software, games, etc. that were done by a small team of like-minded professionals with an artistic vision.
After 9 years, which is most likely?
A) It is impossible for a creative team built on mutual respect to produce a great product
B) Jim has simply had rotten luck in the teams he's been involved in.
And to Dale, I suggest looking at the best games released in the last 5 years. They are photorealistic, with incredible lifelike animation, motion, lighting. They are almost indistinguishable from film. Today's computers can handle anything we want to throw at them.
