Guys you know as well as I... They are damned if they do and damned if they dont... Everything is so heated around here over the last year...
There was a long long wait between patches from the last official to 1st DX10 alpha patch and then a lot of activity and communication around that patch and the subsequent mini-patch. The issues and priorities have NOT changed as far as I can tell, its just that we had a bunch of activity around the last patch and got our hopes up (understandably) for some quick turn arounds on the remaining issues.
Just because they have gone quiet doesnt mean they havent made progress.
I dont know if you noticed but Blacksix is in here pretty much every day now and doing his best to communicate a) what he is allowed to talk about and b) answering questions he can answer without creating a storm of speculation given his new english speaking skills. Its a much tougher job than moderating I can assure you. (and thats saying something for sure!)
Im sure the team is under a lot more internal pressure to get the job done than we realise, both from the commercial perspective and their own high expectations and hopes. Remember they are enthusiasts like you and me. It is not just a job, its a passion. They and the studio could have walked away from this long long ago before it was even released. They have stuck at it with determination to see the vision fulfilled. Making somewhat slow progress, but progress none the less that many had not given them the slightest chance of making.
Please remain patient..... I mean really...
please, as in, I and they all know its a big ask to be so patient for so long.
Hopefully we will get some of the news we have been hoping for today. If not, it's because they havent quite got things to where they want them but they wont give up and I truly hope you wont give up supporting them either.
This project has been a labour of love for all involved, each individual developer, and each one of us. There's been an awful lot of pain involved but hopefully soon we will be on the way to happier times for all.
