Hello all, I guess this should not be much of a surprise, but my attention and motivation has not been on this project for a while, and I do not think that will change any time soon. I do not wish to hang on to titles without putting in any work, so I am retiring from being a Freeciv maintainer.
As I think you all know, I have long wanted the game to depart from its origins as a multiplayer hack inspired deeply by the commercial civ games, and instead streamline the rules and interface to make it one, good single-player game, similar to how Battle for Wesnoth did it. This proved to be very difficult, time consuming and exhausting to convince people of and implement without hurting multiplayer, and may therefore have been a mistake. In any case, working with you all have been, on the whole, a wonderful and magnificent learning experience, and I have had much fun programming with such a talented, forgiving and kind crew. My virtual hat off to you all, and best of luck to the future. I will still be around, and do not hesitate to ask for directions or a hand with code that I may have written or have some semblance of experience with, and that, for some strange reason, is not yet perfect. - Per _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
