Great questions pennmom Yep we do have different roles in our little company and they have evolved over time: SteveIs a long time nerd, his back in the UK (Sheffield) got their first computer (an Amstrad CPC 464) when he was around 8 years old. He started programming little games soon after. Later on they got an Amiga 600 where Steve continued to develop games and then finally onto a PC in the mid 90s. So as you can guess Steve is the programmer KylieStarted as our QA and main games tester, then expanding her empire now she does level designing, games design/ideas, story writing along with QA and testing. The Revills GamesWe were inspired by Fairway Solitaire and thought we could do one too and thought it would be cool have different themes, so we put together Gunslinger Solitaire as a little trail game and sent it to BFG, where we were surprised that they liked it and published it! Along the way more companies created solitaire games, but we thought we could add something special to ours by trying to make them as good as possible and something different added each time. As we posted earlier we read all the reviews (good and bad) on BFG and try to improve the next one based off the feedback (although you can't please everyone, but we do try (options, options, options!)). It's fun working together and trying to get agreements on what we should try next Although being a small husband and wife team does mean that can't do everything (eg we havent put out a mobile game in years now). We have some great contractors that we work with regularly for voice overs and art work etc. Cheers, Steve and Kylie

therevillsgames, that's a cool story! I'm now picturing little 8-year old Steve sitting at a computer programming away while everyone was outside playing! My youngest son loved to read books and he'd literally go outside in the summer, sit under a tree or on the deck reading away. He ended up being one of the youngest kids accepted into Penn Law school (hence the name pennmom!) so where would the world be without nerds & geeks, right? I love that you guys read our reviews, very cool:) Cool Whistle

therevillsgames, I used to own a pet shop when my kids were little. I got a call from someone who had a Yellow-naped Amazon they wanted to sell. I went after work to purchase the bird and it was late so I brought him home and put him in one of my spare parrot cages and went to bed. The next morning my kids were eating cereal when they heard the parrot in the family room shout "Who just farted"...then I had to clean up all the milk that went spewing out of their mouths as all 3 boys started laughing hysterically
