True, but with all that macro-gravel nearby, K-T events are probably a biannual occurrence, at the least.

It is set in the same universe as Asteroids, apparently.

A quick Google search shows that the developer disappeared for many months, and returned in May of this year, citing mental illness. However, updates are still absent.

Mr. Bigglesworth

So he's fucked off with 200 mill. This is a Groginatti mission.

Um, 200 million?  Where the hell did you get that from?!  :uglystupid2:

He got 187K.  I've just spent some time trawling through the LT forum, and what I've found is this.  He burned out after three years of developing and posting pretty much daily updates.  He got sick - mentally - and disappeared for a few months while it was treated.  He came back at the end of May.  He's popped up a few times on the forum, most recently on 9th July (that's only three weeks ago) and says he's been coding steadily the whole time.  Apparently he shows up in IRC too.  He's still under treatment but still coding.

Mr. Bigglesworth

Ok then.

We will send petunias instead of an orbital strike.

Hope he's doing better and fully recovers.  That said, I'd also like to see LT get released...

Heh, this pretty much sums it up for me.  I'm sympathetic, of course!  But I really wanna play the game..........

I recall the speculation if a single developer could do something this ambitious when he first announced the game. Apparently the answer is "Not and stay sane."


I'd love to play the game, but not at the cost of the developer's health.


Maybe we should find him and teach him to drink?

a bit of an update in the LT forums

Sounds like 2 steps back and 1 step forward.  He re-wrote the engine to hopefully speed progress up.

@Huw - I think you need to re-title this thread to something more like "Limit Theory - the space sim with no release in sight!"
