What is going on with SE:V?

I can't speak for atomannj, but for my own sake, I don't mind waiting.

I'd just like to have them update the site so I have a better idea of just how long I'll be waiting.

A short line saying that "Beta exposed some issues and we are going to spend xxx time fixing those issues" or some other informative note would be really nice.

If it makes the game better, I'm perfectly willing to wait till June (or longer), but I just want to know.

Getting Aaron to keep his web site updated is an up hill battle.

Keep in mind Aaron is just one guy making the game, so for him to take time out to write diaries, post info, do PR, etc. cuts directly into the time spent on SE:V.

Another factor is the additional support he had to make for SE:IV and Star Fury for their launches with Strategy First.

I think once the game is nearing completion, you'll begin to see more concrete information.

Fyron keeps a good record of screenshots and a record of game previews etc. by other sites on SE:V here:

I also maintain an update list of purported features at my website:

There's plenty of information you can use to project what the game is going to be like, particularly if you are knowledgable of how things work in SE:IV.
