I don't blame Oleg, as I'm sure he has always done his best.


Development must have been going okay up until about 18 months or so ago when OM made the official announcement of being in a position to provide regular updates again (SiMHQ carried a sticky of this for about a year). After that, things became very quiet indeed. As much as I don't want to admit it, for fear it may be true; it really does seem like after this point, some unforseen event has pushed the development schedule far back again.

Somewhere following Oleg's statement that SoW "has to be " released in 2007 (see his video interview with MysticPuma) and the recent interview where he says work didn't begin in earnest until 1946 was released, there is that grey area where SoW's development history to date seems to have been rewritten.

I hope one day Oleg will write his tell-all autobiograhy and say what really happened. I would sure make for one Hell of a read!

Maybe Oleg and the development team have a bet on the date that the 1000th "Where is the Update?" thread will be posted!

Hopefully they will split the pool with the person that makes the post!

Hmmm! Time to start a new thread!

Yes, can we all please stop asking where the promised updates/websites are, we should all learn not to chase any news that is posted here because it only distracts Oleg from his work.
Everyone should learn to trust Oleg without question, and if he says work on SOW started in 2007 then it clearly did, anything before 2007 was clearly implanted in our brains by Aliens. Now lets start a new thread we could call it 'The Oleg Maddox Room' and use it for asking questions about updates and websites and stuff.

Just for the record, I'm not interested in updates. SoW is still so far off that I find them irrelevant. I agree that they should save their energy and keep at it. I can do without another brace of blue-screen wip images taken from their object viewer.

100% Agree, I wonder if that something was 'BOP'? I know we have been told that OM and team had no involvement with it but with the recent nonsense we have been fed its difficult to know what to believe!

To be honest with Rise of Flight going into closed beta, I am sure we will get nothing until that game is out.
The quality of Rise of flight is awesome and my guess is the SOW engine is not as up-to-it as we were lead to believe...
Pointless showing ingame footage if it cannot compare to Rise of flight.
If the rise of flight engine is a success, who knows maybe SOW will convert to it????
Just stirring the pot

More uninformed speculation.

Oh joy.

Well, it's hard to belive making an update every 2nd month at least would take any time, beside he could probably take 10 min of his spare time to go in and post or cheer up some fans here @ ubi or at simhq.

It certainly ain't a good sign that we basically never get updates and we've yet not even seen any gameplay of the game at all, except for the 1946 behind the scenes...the argument of saying his to busy just ain't holding up. Im not whining i am infact very patient but just stating the obvious, something ain't right.

Uninformed speculation is the best you can hope for on this site
