An update for all of you...

[Richard]

First off I wanted to say thanks for the support so far for the game. I have heard some wondering what is going on and wondering about the reduction of traffic.

I don't really think the SE4 crowd is leaving, overall our site traffic has been down and one reason for that is the summer vacation season is ending and folks are trying to get their vacations in before school.

As far as SE4's future. First off we will be supporting it via patches for the conceivable future. I know at the very minimum we will be doing so until the end of the year, and probably into the next.

We also have something in the works, SE4 wise, with Aaron that I can't say much about. But if things go well you may see a nice surprise later this year.

As far as the future we have long term plans with Aaron to work on future titles and continuing this series. So don't give up hope yet .

I would encourage folks far and wide from the PBW folks, to the modders, and etc to keep up the work since we are going to continue to support the game. I would also encourage fans with websites to drop me a line so I can get you into our banner exchange program.

Oh and in the very near future you guys with websites may get a shot at a special affiliate program that will allow you to make a percentage for selling our products. That way the developers, us, and you guys all get to support each other...

Hold on, the best is yet to come...

Thank you very much Richard for giving us these informations and the continued support. Any ideas when the next patch will be released and what it will bring us?

Thanks for a great product and the continuing support you guys give.
I second the request. "Is another patch coming out soon?" (The next few weeks?)

[thorfrog]

You guys are the best!

Nice. It's particularly good news compared to, say, Creative Assembly / Electronic Arts reneging on several months' worth of promises of another patch to fix known, glaring bugs in one of their products.
