I've posted what little information I have on the subject without, I hope, sounding like I was making any committments for anyone. But to answer your question, the game is not dead. At least not to my knowledge.

Yeah, that probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Starbreaker -

In the example thread I said nothing new was being released in the near future, possibly ever.

No insult to Dan intended.  It's a simple truth of being a game designer that there's a big gap between having plans to do something and actually having time to make it a reality.  Unless Dan has some secret project for IS he's planning on releasing in the next few months, my statement is 100% true.

If he comes out with something next year sometime, that's not in the "near future" and I have no idea whether plans to do more w IS exist or will materialize when weighed against his full plate of other projects.  All of which are facts reflected accurately by my statement.

Be interested in knowing what you consider overstatement and hyperbole.  I tend to state the facts as I see them.  Sometimes I am just wrong - and will generally admit as much when it's shown to me that I am, but I try not to exaggerate or hyperbolize in contexts other than humorous ones.  If you would like to provide some examples, I'd be happy to discuss.

I will say that I must have said something that really ticked you off for you to be holding such a grudge against me and wanting to "see me corrected publicly."  I don't have any feelings of ill will towards you, or anybody else.

Thanks.

Sorry to cause trouble, Im just working on a future VSF episode.
