Was there ever an "official" introduction? I have looked around and cannot find it.

Yeah, we're all excited now, don't leave us hanging!

Yep, questions abound about this. Did Winter sign up or did the deal fall through?

jmancil · 02-19-2016, 12:43 PM

Just found this forum, what is the expected release date?

Yeah, it's a bit off-putting, really.

Hopefully OOTP mod will give us some type of reply soon. Even if to say, deal with Winter is off or has hit some snags. Doesn't have to be specific.

Yikes, it was looking really good there for a minute. Now, not so much.

Hey guys, he's around. He gave a quick hello to the researchers, but I believe he is buried in reviewing the code at this point.

I'll see if I can give a reminder to say hello here.

Great! I can breathe again now...

Not sure when Michael Winter will pop into the general BTS forum to say "Hello," but, yes, he has started working on the game. (While I'm not working for OOTP Dev anymore, I am assisting my successor Rich Grisham, on some things, and as part of that, I'm privy to what's happening behind the scenes.)

Rest assured there will be more news when Michael and/or Markus has something to say. Someone pinged me privately about a mod for this forum -- I was keeping an eye on it just so someone official could weigh in when necessary, so I'll keep doing so for now. I assume once the game starts really ramping up, they will appoint an official moderator or two, like with the other forums.

Thanks.

Really appreciate you looking out for us BTS guys, Brad!

Great to know and thank you for sharing.

Very good news!

Will Winter stay on after Francis comes back?

Elf Marine · 04-29-2016, 02:57 PM

It has been a few months since an update on Francis. How is he doing?
