Hi Bryan, True, but often times this community jumps to the wrong conclusion when they don't have any evidence to prove their opinions false. Here is a case in point.
Back in 2005 when James North had not produced working copies of Montezuma's Revenge and Raceway there was this huge group of people who said it was all a scam. That opinion was false as I happen to have the original source code, written in VB 6, for Raceway and Montezuma's Revenge that proves he was in deed working on those games as well as his changelog files etc. From what I seen of reading through his personal notes and such is that there would be long stretches between updates. He might start working on something on a Sunday, stop working on it for a few days, and take up with it on Friday night. This looks to me like a man working around a busy schedule rather than someone who was outright trying to scam people. As to why he would say the game would be released on x, and turn around and then say it was not ready I'll never know. All I can say based on his notes is that he was in deed working on it, but progress was slow and spread out over a haphazard schedule. If James North had just been more forthcoming about his work schedule people might have understood, but since he said nothing people asumed the worst. Bottom line, I think we could be seeing something very similar. I'm pretty sure Jake has no intention to scam people. It is more likely there have been delays, setbacks, he never planned on and regardless of what he says or does there will be a few people who won't believe a word he says until he produces the game. If he does produce it I'm also pretty certain his detracters will not be man or woman enough to apologise for dragging his name through the mud. Cheers!
