An apocalyptic apology

[Owen K.C. Stephens]

Hey folks, sorry for the long silence.

This game continues to move forward. I got crushed by sliding deadlines and mutating projects, and let my weekly updates slip. That was a mistake, I apologize, and I'm going to fix it.

The reason we haven't announced a specific timeline remains the same -- we're not 100% sure when we can have this done yet. It is a BIG undertaking, and we're determined to get it right, rather than get it soon.

While I feel I can safely say there is still a chance this book will be out sometime in 2013, I certainly can't guarantee it. We're wrestling with cover art. We don't have a finished draft. Heck there are still open questions about just how big we can make it, which will in part decide what goes into it.

In the normal course of development, I'd never have mentioned we were planning to put out a book this size when it was in the condition it was when we acquired it. And worse, and I am sure this is no surprise, there were things about the original design choices we wanted to change, so it wasn't even as far along as a wordcount would suggest.

It is only because of the history of this project we felt we had to let everyone know we had it, that we were going to honor preorders, and that we were working to make it as awesome as possible.

Of course I also said I'd be in touch weekly... and we have all seen how that went.

But this is a project very near and dear to my heart, and we continue to move forward, and I'll be more vocal from here out.
