May 2013 Update

[abisso]

Hello Weavers.

I've missed some of the monthly updates, and I apologize, but this one won't be longer because of that. As a matter of fact, there isn't much to say: we're still into the 2nd stage of betatesting, and though most of the reports made by testers in this stage are improvements instead of bugs, they're still worth looking into. Some of the testers are doing a great job, and of that we all have to be grateful.

Other than that, there are two news:

1. It's a secret, but very good news. All I want to say until the fact becomes more certain, is that it's about a person that's helping me out on certain aspects of the game.

2. The bad news: as most of you probably know already, Disney acquired Lucas (not George himself, but almost). As some of you probably know, Lucasarts has been shut down, including all the employees. I'm not sure how and if these two facts will influence Forge, but they might.

Anyway the game is improving day after day, and especially if news n.1 becomes reality, not only Chapter One but the whole Forge will see the light of day sooner or later.

Thanks for reading.

Just so you know, your updates are getting read. I don't say anything on forums, because there's not a lot to do but wait and watch, but I check every day for updates. I remain very excited for Forge.

Heya, glad to know actually. You'd be surprised of how important feedback actually is, especially when it comes to fan-games. I'd say at least 50% of the fuel for this Forge-machine is you people. After all there's no point in being a sender, if there's no receiver.

That being said, I'm not surprised that, despite the relatively high number of unique visitors everyday, only a few actively participate in the Forums. They're so boring! I have to admit it, I'm a bad entertainer and I don't write often. I'm not a social guy (have you seen any Social Networks button around here?).
But I work in the shadows, and maybe that's more important. Or creepier, at least. I'd say both. Yeah.

Thank you so much for the excitement!

I'm still behind this project 100%, even as life forces me to come and go from online communities.
