There is no way we'll be patching or even working on the 1.9.x series. and I'll just say this: we had a 6 hours meeting yesterday with the other SF devs.

the 19x series(currently 1.9.4.1) is no longer supported by the dev team, they are deving a sourceforts like you have never seen before(New gameplay, mechanics, etc.)

Edit: Ninja'd

It's not an excuse: nobody here cares. Seriously. If you want people, get people, then we can help by posting official announcements/cleaning up the forums/whatever else is needed. Literally everyone we've (we being the "veteran" population that played this game years ago) ever talked to or played the game with has quit, and for good reason. 1.9x is dead, we no longer support it, no more iterations of it will come out. PH/2.0 is the version that's currently being worked on, and it's a major rework of everything, only featuring traces of resemblance to 1.9x in its current form.

Maybe we let it be dead, but if we let it be dead, it's because we know the amount of work that would take to bring the game back to stability is something that:

a) requires tons of advertising
b) requires tons of people willing to host servers that will largely remain empty for a long time
c) requires players that are willing to play when literally 0 people are playing
d) takes away from our ability to code the next version if we are too focused on 1.9x

If we do try to bugfix 1.9x and a-c don't happen, then it's a complete waste of our time.

This is awesome to hear from you, I am happy of course but I did not
And that you wont keep working on 1.9.x is ok by me, I actually ment just developing stuff. Does not matter if it is sf 2, sf 3, ph or whaterver it might be.

I know you are probably pretty "angry" of that many people asking stuff all over again. But is it us to blame? I my opinion you do to little of anouncing stuff on the website. I don't care if it is good or bad news but the last post apart from at tiny twet was made almost one year ago.. you seems to have something to defend. Or am I totaly wrong here? I proabably are cuse you do not post about anything!




(I am not proud of this post and you(anyone really) can just ingonre it if you want. I am still gonna try to get players and big play in 2 weeks.)

we posted about why there has be no progress lately (well Shattered did). We used to be 13 developpers, most of them disapeared or were too lazy to do anything (even check the forums...) we cleaned the house and are 4 devs and 5 testers.

Also there's no point in making a news just for the sake of making a news ("Hai guys, we have nothing to show, but this is news. KTHXBAI").

Once we'll get something worth posting, we will (btw, I just remembered, #s posted a few dev diary 1-2 months ago about his process of making maps).

Well, there is probably the diffrens between how we think. I deffently think you should post such as you described. Though I will lower my state of this anouncment thingy, will never come anything good of it

It is stickied, there are 15 threads saying literally the same thing, and in 30 seconds of searching you could find all the answers you need.

We don't have a lot of announcements to post. A lot of releases come in the developer diary forum and randomly elsewhere. Look at the thread I linked to in my previous post. I don't get what you mean by we have "something to defend"? Stuff is going on, we keep people updated, if you bothered to look through the forums you could find it in no more than 5 minutes. Again, just a reminder: this is our spare time. We don't get paid for this. It's essentially our collective hobby, and we're working on the next version for probably the most unloyal (for good reason, though) game mod community in history.

We can't instantly develop a game, because, and I think I speak for most of us actually working on the game, these are priorities that we focus on before SF (in no particular order):

1) our health
2) our education (all of us are in some form of higher education)
3) our jobs
4) our families, friends, relationships
5) other hobbies/sports/extracurriculars etc that we focus on either as a break or spend most of our time doing, given that we aren't going to spend every waking moment of our lives that can be considered "free time" developing this.
