Sorry for my absence-- I've had a couple friends seek me, concerned that I might be having troubles. I assure you I'm fine. Real life put me on the road for most of September thus far, but I've also been waiting to swoop back with a download link for the SoW release.
That hasn't happened. In fact, MiNT and I have been having pretty serious conversations regarding project status. At this stage, I've asked for a "do or die" release date. If this is unacceptable or there's another failure to deliver, we'll discuss alternatives to get game release out. I expect to hear back from him within the next 24 hours and as soon as I know something, I will share it with you at once.
I have been busy working on Company Man content. At this point, I'm thinking that working on a novelisation along the lines of the Earthly Masters treatment makes sense. I can use the existing game work and have begun to supplement it with multimedia elements as well. I am working on the Prologue now and will share it, along with images/vids developed for game/novel, here in the next couple days. While I can't directly affect development/coding, I can at least provide narrative content to fans they might enjoy. Just to confirm, I am committed to the Company Man game as well but need to resolve SoW first.
On a personal note, I take full responsibility for the failure to produce a timely delivery of SoW. It reflects poor judgement on my part-- I let things drift in the wrong direction far too long. To those fans who have lost patience, I promise to get you the game regardless of whether or not you choose to continue your support or not. Just get in touch when the release time comes-- as far as I am concerned, you have 'paid' for the game already. I apologise for my failure and can only say I have learned from my project management mistakes and from this point on, I will proceed much differently that before now.
