[Ghazkull]

[Narceh]

Because it's not ready yet. He just released the chapter selection / creation part as a teaser.

Reading is heresy.

Any status updates? I'm exploding in anticipation.

Making progress.  I'm looking at a tenative, early January release.

So what's the plan? UI now, and then? Just asking so i know when to come back for warhammer x-com .

Just to make sure, Jan 2015, not Jan 41k?

UI update, a bug fixing update or two, and then ideally I hand off development to someone else.

That is the plan.  No promises.

Ignore the quote above. What do you mean hand it off? You are the first person in years to make any meaningful progress on this game, mostly due to general apathy among /tg/'s programmers. Who would you hand it off to?

[DukeFluffy]

Who would you hand it off to?

Someone else. 

But no, really, Chapter Master has begun to feel more and more like a drain.  It's a massive investment of time and energy to keep working on the thing, to say nothing of monitoring the questions and feedback on X different sites.  After the initial release and the first couple of patches the buzz of players and fans were well enough to encourage me.  Since then that has been less and less the case.

A successor developer hasn't been found yet.  What'll probably end up happening is I'll release the UI update, and a handful of stability patches, but after that I'd prefer to leave most/all of it to someone else.

What language is it done in?

What language is it done in?

GML.  I'm a hobbyist programmer, at best.

Fair enough reason and practical too.  In these times, the hobbyist would normally just quietly disappear when they finally burn out.
Your contribution to the cause is much appreciated either way.
