Yeah, we'll definitely be able to use you. Stay tuned!

oh!
I well remember the consternation when the previous manifestation of munificence fell silent. Perhaps we should all chant THIS each evening?

PS - it's good to be back!

Wow folks! What a wonderful welcome - I have a great big lump in my throat. I'm sure I don't deserve it, but I am very grateful.

(Nuntar - that set of lyrics is impressive!)

But now the big question is...what's going to happen next?

"They were all free, and they were all wondering what would happen next."

It's not even that I want someone to drop spoilers to me (although that would be OK). But I would love it if someone would tell me when we would know more.

Until then, I'm all anticipatory.

Josh

I fear that in addition to the known unknown (we don't know when the bar will start moving, or what the project is), we have unknown unknowns. It'd be cool to at least find out what it is that we don't know.

Hmm...I think the bar isn't moving because I'm blocked on substantively working on the Next Big Project until I've cleaned up the outstanding bugs on the Bugs board, and that's moving really slowly of late. I feel it's more responsible for me to take care of bug fixes in games people are already playing rather than add content to games people aren't yet playing. Sorry to everyone that my contribution is moving ahead so slowly.

If you want, mrimer, you can ask the comunity what WE want Maybe set up a poll, unless you really want to work with those bugs. Then you should do that, of course.

Don't feel bad about the lack of progress - you have other important things to do. A progress update - even one saying "no progress recently" is all people really want. (Obviously there's a limit to how long you can keep on making no progress, but you're nowhere near that yet!) So thankyou we really appreciate your work on DROD

I didn't want to trumpet my return to the site and this thread was a very useful means of quietly stepping back into things here. May I crave your indulgence by using it ( I know) to let you know that I will be on holiday for a week from tomorrow ( I didn't want you thinking I'd just disappeared ). I will be on the island of Raasay and will have no internet access.

Looks like our Deadly Bar Of Death hasn't given up yet! It's still Really Deadly.

... I blame my ISP for that last post. I tried to edit it, but it timed out when I hit Save and I couldn't connect to CaravelForum for a while after that (so I went and did something else).

Though some sort of SmS or Second Sky-related thing is pretty likely to be The Next Big Project, I'd really like to see DROD: The Pinball. Roach bumpers, Mimic Multiball, Trapdoor Mini-Playfield, etc...

Oh, I'd like to see that as a physical pinball machine, not a computer version.

I'd rather go with Really Big Sword Flippers that rotate exactly 45 degrees.

Actually, DROD Pinball is pretty far up on my "I'd do this if I had infinite time & money" list.
