Hi Will, No, unfortunately, Draconis hasn't given us any more news on their current projecs. However, just because they haven't given us any news or a game release doesn't mean we should automatically start comparing them to Bavisoft.I for one am pretty sure Draconis is working on something, and I know more than most the time, effort, and drain it takes to produce a serious game of any real quality. Especially, if that someone happens to be coding an engine and games from the ground up in a language like C+++ which Draconis is doing.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again, one thing the average gamer often over looks is the people producing accessible games do so in their spare time. They have families, they have jobs, they need personal time as well. Therefore they can't be treated as robots who sit in front of a computer 12 hours a day programming this or that game just because a few gamers want it on demand. As for why Draconis and many accessible game developers don't give us weekly or monthly updates as to the status of projects its pretty simple. If a game developer says something in an e-mail and decides to change his or her mind at a later point they'll get flamed for promising one thing and giving the customers something else. If a developer goes into a lot of detail about a certain game then there won't be as much surprise when it is released. If a game developer is doing a lot of experimentation as I did for a while people will get confused, angry, and upset because they'll accuse the developer of goofing off when they are trying to figure something out by trial and error. Bottom line, there are times when discretion is indeed the better part of valor. :D Cheers!
