Little update for those who care, but don't follow any feeds or anything.
This author, after many years, developed and released a new game a little while back. It's also out of the 'bugfixing' stage by now.
The visuals are decent again, but he totally phoned it in on the gameplay though. It's barely even worth being there. Honestly, at that point it shoulda just been a scene hunter game w/o combat at all.
Totally makes me wonder why on earth it took such an eternity to produce a new game, only to have it be the worst playing game he's ever made.
It's above average in amount of CG's, so maybe he's just slow at those.
Anyway ... let's see if the next game gets produced faster then I guess.
