ok so getting close to the 3 month mark since i purchased this game. have yet to see a single patch. the forums are like a cemetary and the occasional blog posts are less then satisfying. my ability to continue supporting this is close to gone...i would ask for a idea of whats going on but i think we all need somthing a little more concrete then some vague somtime in the future response....i was under the impression alex had made this his full time project. by full time im assuming more then half an hour a day ![Tongue :P](https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
Hi Kaiden. Well, what can I say - there's a lot of new stuff in the next version, and it takes time to implement, balance, and playtest. I'm not happy about the long delay between versions either - but because of the major (and interlinked) features being added, I didn't see a good way to split it up while still delivering something fun to play in the meantime.
I am, on the other hand, extremely happy with how it's progressing. It really will be a brand new game.
This is the part where you might get mad at me - sorry! - I
still won't give you a release date. It's basically impossible to say with any exactness, and I don't want to have to cut corners and put extra pressure on to try to meet an arbitrary date.
From a practical point of view, there's no one that wants to see the next version (and Starfarer in general) released more than I do. Living out of savings isn't very much fun, so I have some excellent motivation in that regard. To be perfectly honest, even without that, there's still nothing else I'd rather be doing.
... been over 5 months now since the .35 ...
A bit under 3 and a half, but who's counting
