I sort of stopped following a while, not intentionally though. But anyway things look to be going great. seeing buildings being placed i can almost taste the tycoon goodness!

I think I feel more comfortable leaving it free or just accepting optional donations, but we'll see how I'm feeling when it gets closer to being of releasable quality. I won't be pitching this game to my employer; this is my baby, and so I don't want to be able to blame anybody but myself for screwing it up. ;) And on the topic of "screwing it up", I'm not expecting to make my self-imposed Wednesday deadline; I woke up extremely ill this morning, and have basically lost the day to recuperating. And now, back to bed for me. Selling the game is a possibility that I haven’t ruled out, but I’m not really certain one way or the other yet.

But there'll be a lot of things which won't work properly yet. For example, all the buildings will look approximately the same, there won't be any terrain customisation support, etc. I've been wanting to get a tech demo out for a long time, to hear about performance on a wider variety of systems, and to what extent performance can be improved on slower systems by adjusting draw distances and suchlike.
