Well, funny you should give up hope today... Just last night I was informed that some prototype replacement FPGA chips have finally arrived and are being tested. |

Great news! Keeping my fingers crossed.
Once again I forgot to check the date on the first post and was reading stuff 4 years old. Caught myself quickly this time.

Wasn't there an RGP posting from them that production would be happening? I was told about it but didn't see it. I'll have to go look!

From what I hear Gene's bankruptcy has not killed the prospect of finishing and producing this game. In fact it may have increased the likelihood and increased that prospect of it being a better game in almost every way. There are several promising parties (for better worse remains to be seen) interested in making this happen still. But if it happens, I think it will be a few years in the making.
People that are interested - Don't lose hope yet! It is an interesting time for this crazy hobby. A new era has begun, and I hope it is a fabulous one. |
