Hello, FreeHolders! The RogueWare HQ has had to relocate suddenly, severely, and under some duress. It turns out that, for several years, my fiance and I have been living in a house where the pipes don’t go anywhere. They just dump sewage under the house.
After recovering from our initial shock and horror, and our sense of being well taken advantage of, we fled to my fiance's parent’s house, where we began a mad campaign of finding a new dwelling. Within several days, I’m pleased to say, we locked down a new location where we will be living for at least a year, and the move-in date is the 15th. I have had intermittent and sometimes no access to computational hardware or the internet, which is why throughout the sale nothing happened to the game. No Alpha 4, no mac release, nada. Instead of a triumphant yearly return to the release of the game with a spanking new Alpha 4, ignominy and confusion reigned throughout my birthday week. And this week it continues.
Due to various circumstances too complicated to go into, I am now alone, for five days, at the old sewer house tasked with packing up the entire house, an Augean endeavor to be sure. My time is still severely limited, and it may not be possible to update the game until I have made the move and settled into our new offices, as it were.
Oh, to be a large strong company with many employees, a location where you do not live to work, and the ability to absorb blows of destiny like these! Unfortunately for all of us, this tiny little operation called RogueWare is subject to the mean vicissitudes of life right now. I must again ask your patience and understanding, for what must be the thousandth time, while your humble coder fixes the situation. I have to debug my life right now, as it were.
My apologies for the lack of support and feedback during these last few weeks. FreeHolder is still my number one priority. Once I have a roof over my head. Oh, and happy belated 4th of July!
Chris
