Life is absolutely crazy! You just never know what is going to happen or where things will end up. I find myself with extra time as I have 3 months to find a new job. So I am interviewing and trying to fix SOW bugs. The main issue is around switching the guts of MP still. It's been a headbanger, but I finally found the culprit today and it's a huge relief. There is still cleanup, but this is the last bug that would prevent a wimpy early access release.
It's hard to not just rewrite everything, you really want to when you are looking at code you wrote many years ago. It's just not practical though. The first release will have just a few enhancements as we are really doing a port and removing a bunch of garbage no longer needed. We hope to have many release as we move forward and full Steam support in every way that makes sense.
We hope for a June release, so keep your fingers crossed!
