Re: A bad rumor
Well, usually a long delay like this means that he's working on something big. There was a long delay before the Map Editor was released, for example. Given all the bugs that keep cropping up, he could be re-writing some large chunks of the program to handle things differently. Sometimes when you have too many problems you have to step back and find a different algorithm to do what you want with less "duct tape & baling wire".  That could also allow for some cool new options in the existing features of the game. He could also be readying drones or some other major new feature. |

Re: A bad rumor
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 .

Re: A bad rumor
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 .

Re: A bad rumor
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!

Re: A bad rumor
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
