A bad rumor

Richard · #1 May 17th, 2001, 04:56 AM

I talked to Aaron yesterday and he has some new beta stuff in the works.

I can't get into why he has been quiet lately but it is good for him and for the future of Malfador to be sure

Way to squelch the rumors Richard... lol

Well let me just put it this way it will mean Aaron will have more time to devote to finishing the patching for SE4 and will also mean he will have more time to work on future projects

I did hear a rumour that Aaron was going to be taking a 15-minute break from doing future patches in order to have a cup of coffee. Anyone able to confirm this?

And I hope some more time for himself to relax. He really earned it!

Let the poor guy take a break for a week or more. After all the work he's done he deserves it. He has given more support to this game than any number of companies, designers, or programers for any other game.

Its a rest well deserved

just some ideas Mac

A quick reply to Erhardt earlier on:

I'm pretty certain everyone here fully appreciates how much work Aaron has done adding extra features for us and generally doing things that no-one else does. I think the reason everyone is always asking for more is because typically Aaron actually DOES it! That's one of the biggest reasons I'm so impressed with the game, because it keeps getting better.

That's also why most of what I propose is in the "make it in an add-on" vein -- because I'm _quite_ willing to pay for an add-on, because it'd be good, and because he deserves it!

I agree all the suggestions can come across as ingratitude, but I don't think that's the case at all -- just overzealous fans.
