I have to say, all of these suggestions are exactly what I was looking for(aside from the trollish Anonymous remark).

I will say, I had every intention of removing the game before I decide weather or not to actually release it. The way things are going, I more than likely will present this to my Boss, I do need to give her something. I never planned on feeling like I do about this, I thought I would just write it, give it up, and move on. That's what I have done in the past, but I suppose I just got fed up with being taken advantage of because I went above and beyond with this kind of thing before.

Shit, now that I think about it more, I should be proud to release it, and dammit, I should be happy cuz I have something new to add to my resume.

Thanks for the suggestions, I now know what I need to do.

As for my personal issues with the boss, its not her personally that I have any problem with. Infact, I respect her very much, and she is a doll, I just don't like her Managing methods at times. Why you ask? Well, there isn't one manager that I can say I would approve of, guess its a flaw that I need to work on, as I don't want to have problems my entire career.

-- Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of defyance.

    Hey, I'm glad you got some useful comments out of this thread. For my part, I agree with those "tell the boss sooner than later / release it and don't worry about subrecognition" posts.

    However...I'm not a PC sort of guy, honest...but I recommend not actually referring to your boss as "a doll" in any of your conversations with her. Maybe it's different where you work, maybe not. But if your workplace is like the average largish corporation in the U.S. and you yourself are not a doll, then it might be wise not to mention that aspect of your perception in the hopes of winning brownie points. Consider it a strategic decision rather than an unwelcome thrust from an overly-sensitive society.

    Unless, of course, defyance is truly your modus operandi.

    For further information, I refer you to this point-counterpoint article on The Onion. Make of it what you will, those jokers have their finger on the grey pulse of the U.S.

    Matt
