Hi Shaun,
The idea of being a team within X-Sight basically fizzled out. Those
application forms and policy documents were obviously just a feeble attempt
on my part to bring some form of order into the world of a rather
uncontrollable environment. It was generally hard to pass content around,
especially source code revisions, and since the host moves and college days
I just haven't had time to set up private mailing lists and monitor the
progress of things. However, as it was nobody was active on the team back in
the day anyway.
As is, I have much more free time now, and with the recent introduction of
Dropbox things have gotten slightly easier. However there is only really you
who have expressed an interest to continue, and from what I can remember you
were not really familiar with my programming.
I'll have to consider for some time as to whether I will restart with a team
environment, since it isn't easy to determine who is going to do what and
when, or even if, they will have the work done. As you know most of the
people in the team were not producing anything and therefore what was the
point in being there, just to say they are in a software development team?
I will also have to think about the privacy and security of my products,
since I don't want a repeat performance where privileged material is being
leaked out on the internet. If I am going to start having multiple people
involved with the development and testing of my products, it will be a
select few who have helped and supported me over the years to get to where I
am now or who I know I can trust.
I'm not sure who leaked my betas out and I couldn't really do anything much
if I did, and it's twice that it has happened and therefore I hope you'll
understand why I am put off and am now putting up my guard, as it were.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Shane,
I regret to inform you that the Chopper Challenge game is no longer
supported. When we had a few coders over at X-Sight, the code wasn't being
synchronised and managed in a controlled manner, causing bugs to crop up
here and there where we thought they had previously been fixed. As a
result, the coding for Chopper Challenge was more or less completed by one
guy with very little input from me. Now he has left I am left with a very
buggy source code which I find I can't fix because it is very messy and
not commented. Even the segments of code which were mine I was very
shocked upon reading it and trying to wade my way through it. This was a
project back from the mid 2000's, and I thought it was a bit past its
time.
If there is popular demand for it then I may consider rewriting it.
However, for now, consider Chopper Challenge abandonware.
I think now is a good time to say that, unfortunately, Acefire will end up
the same way, for the same reasons. For the sort of games I am working on
currently, Acefire now seems like a very basic project, almost a
beginner's work. A few concepts here and there that made it look advanced,
but again, the code is very messy and I have had several bugs reported to
me that I cannot find their source.
I am currently working on a title which should hopefully keep you on the
edge of your seats clinging on for dear life, that's all I'll say for now.
Watch out for trailers and other snippets as the game becomes more formed.
Also I am working on updating River Raiders, so if you have any
suggestions, now's the time to book them through. Grin.
If anyone has any questions, you all know where to find me.
Lastly, for anyone who doesn't yet know. I've set up a discussion forum at
X-Sight where you can discuss things. I'll be posting updates and content
on there and I'll be taking my blog down soon. It is much easier to
interact with a community base through a forum than a blog, in my opinion.
Regards,
Damien.

Subject: [Audyssey] RSGames Client
Hey guys,
I sent this email a few days ago and got no response. I didn't even get
a copy of it myself and I have been having problems with my mailbox, so
I'm not even sure if it came through on your end.
I am having a couple problems with the RSGames Client when accessing
some property related menus in Monopoly.
The problem mainly occurs when I can't afford a property and it asks me
to manage my assets to pay off the owed money. When I mortgage my
properties it says invalid choice and the menus start nesting each
other. I have tried doing an admin chat and have also attempted to
contact Ryan via both email and MSN and have received no response.
Sometimes the menus will say invalid choice even when I am manually
going into the management menus.
Also a couple of minor bugs in that the client is saying invalid choice
after sounds have downloaded, and also the British monopoly board
sometimes switches between pounds and dollars.
I redownloaded the client about a week ago just to make sure I wasn't
missing any updates, and it was still happening. Bearing in mind this
has now been going on since the end of last year.
Is there a fix for this or is it being worked on? Is it a server or a
client issue?
Thanks.
Regards,
Damien.
