I would at least like to have a hint!!!At what may be approaaching please oh please speak to us oh great and kind wizard of Norb Land. :blink:

We have our plans, but we're moving at normal speed. We are all learning a lot about what publishers do, as we've taken on all those tasks ourselves. We discuss it a lot, as everyone gets input into where we go next. Right now I am a huge bottleneck in the process. I've toned down my effort into focusing on just one task at a time. I need the brain break, and also running the business side of things has taken a lot of time. We've been running some magazine ads, lots of online ads, it's a big process. Everyone pitches in to some degree, but there's a lot that I have to handle. Also, school started and we turn into limo services like everyone else. Oldest plays soccer and she's really starting to play good. My son is playing football and I'm helping coach. Life is just too busy.

Right now we are focusing on getting a CD version of the game completed. We plan on a version that will not require the game to connect to the internet in order to activate. It will still have the same protection, but we'll offer a different method of activation. We will include a manual with this CD version. We have been approached by some that would like to sell a CD version of the game, so we're trying to make that happen. It's tough figuring it all out on your own, but we're all in agreement that we want to maintain control of this francise.

We are also working on a feature patch, new goodies for the existing game for no cost. Right now the designers are putting in their time, but they need work from me. I'll get to that when I get the CD version done.

After that we have some ideas for expansions. But I can't offer any more insight into that right now.

So we've got lots of stuff brewing over here, but we're also trying to make sure that we participate in real life. After working for 3-4 years on the game, it's just enjoyable taking a breath with deadlines.
