Yeah, I've let things slide on the site, we'll get back to updating it soon. The game hasn't been canceled or anything like that.

When I just read "Stagnation and Death", I went "Aaaaaaaaaaargh", but the it turned out to be about lore.

so are we there yet. ^_^

Jeez, you people.

"Update your mods!"

"No, wait, make your game!"

Demands, demands, demands.

We have actually been working. We found out there were some silly problems with the structure of the rules, like that it was impossible for a new character to wield basically any equipment whatsoever without taking encumbrance penalties, so we had to rework some assumptions and run a bunch of new simulations and so on and so forth and it's really all kind of boring but yes I'll update the site again soon.

I am confident in Jason's discipline.

It will get done!

Must be. Since Jason's offering Weingine license to basically everybody these days, I'd say it means the engine is done and finished, up to the last detail. And since usually people keep polishing the engine until the end...

No, no, we're still working.

And I kid about the licenses.

Damn. So "Kulyok's World Domination" in Weingine is out of the question, then?

Anyway, "working" is good.

Damn? Well, maybe indeed, as I've been seriously considering whether it was worth to give a shot or not. 3D we go then.

If somebody actually wanted the engine, I would of course work something out. But I haven't received any serious offers, and given the wealth of cheap 3D engines out there, I don't really expect to. True, ours is equipped to do "RPG-ish" things already (WeiDU-style dialogue, events relating to pickpocketing and stealing from stores and whatnot, cutspies, lockpicking doors and setting off traps and whatnot) but the tradeoff is that you have to put up with a lot of 2D goonery.

By the way, I recommend checking out the list of TBH-based serials, here:

It's all good. And the website's been updated, wow! :) Great news.
