IN WHICH I APOLOGISE
Right, so this is Liberty and first, let me apologise real quick for the lack of anything updates. As some of you know I've had a pretty ... interesting time lately and as such I was unable to get online. Hell, I lost my computer for a while there and when I got it back all my progress on well, everything, was erased. Thankfully I had an old update stashed on my external drive. Unfortunately a lot of my chapter was lost - mainly eventing. All my mapping was done at the start - minus one or two - which is great because that means I just need to do events on those maps, which can be done whilst other parts of the project are worked on by others!

So, where does that leave the Chain Game?

THE CURRENT PROJECT
Discussions are underway. Now, Dudesoft has been away for a while and we've yet to get in contact with ldida, so it's fallen to Deckiller and myself to see what can be done about the current version of the project. We're both confident that the Chain Game can and will be finished eventually. If we absolutely have to, we'll work together to get it done, but we'd rather not do that. It is a Chain Game, after all!

LIMITATIONS
That said, we're thinking of limiting the amount of chapters in the game so that we can actually finish this thing at some point. We've discussed it and figured that as it stands the project could be called about 1/3 done. As such we think an extra four or five chapters should be enough to fill it up.
So we're calling for those who had signed up last time to think hard on whether or not they have the time and motivation to complete a chapter of the game. The original list will get first choice as to whether or not they get a chapter. After that, if we have any left over spots the viewing public may 'place a bid' as it were.

We'll let you know the updated line-up when we get it all figured out!

DEMO?
Last piece of news is the idea of releasing a demo of the first three chapters. This is still up in the air, but it'll probably come down to public opinion whether or not it happens. They need a little spit and polish and DK is working on joining them up properly, which shouldn't take long because he is awesome like that. /flattery
That said, it mainly depends on whether you guys want a demo or not. So... let us know, okay?



For those with small attention spans, here are the major points of this Blog post.

- Apologise for the long wait. {Feel free to express your disappointment in me. ;P}

- Let you all know that we're still working on the game and that it's not been left for dead. {Let us know that you care!}

- Also announce the limit the amount of chapters and ask about continued interest. {Suggest things, ask questions, debate about it or put your name in for a chapter!}

- Announce that a demo of the first half (first three chapters, that is) may be released soon. Don't count on it, but keep it in mind! {Let us know, yea or nay.}


Keep in mind that all of these things might change later on, depending on whether Dudesoft comes back and takes control again, but for now we need to know names and numbers.

Any questions, suggestions or re-signings, let us know in the comments section!
