If 0.6 is going to be in development for a while longer than usual, it might be nice if we could have four or five new sectors to play through. I think the replay value is this game will increase substantially once we’re playing randomly generated maps each time but for now it’s just not all that exciting going through the same map all over again.

It has, sorry. Splitting my attention between the blog and the forum and twitter means I don’t post so much here.

0.5 was slowed a lot by me taking holidays and spending a bit of time doing other personal stuff. So far it’s just bugfixes and tweaks, but after spending a bit of time talking with Evan Balster about the design I have a new direction for the immediate future of the game which I’m very excited about. I might put 0.5 out before diving into this new work though, just to give people a new sector to explore. We’ll see.

Wow, been a while since you posted. Is 0.5 going to be released soon?

@Farbs – I just started playing Captain Jameson, when I first heard of Jameson (long before it came out) I was a bit worried about how the new gameplay would work, but its beyond my wildest dreams. I love you

Farbs & Vaconovat! Please excuse my recent absence in the forums. The charger broke for my powerbook and the battery on my asus burnt out. The asus has a warranty, so it’ll be coming back in a couple days. I can’t logon to the forum from my android, which I’m writing this from. I’ll be back as soon as I can.

I’ve just used 0.3’s footage. Which is just as well really, as I think that all the stuff in Jameson so far is impossible to convey in just 60 seconds. I have a bigger challenge though, as it’s a whole series trailer (because I’m bad at Jameson), so Jameson only gets 15 seconds. :(

@mackat – Shh! There are no exploits :)

@Jamie – awesome, can’t wait to see it.

I was really hoping to get 0.4 out tomorrow, but it’s taking a little longer than expected. Also savegames have started bugging out (in the development build, not in anything released), and I want to make sure I nail that plank down before anything sets sail. I might try for a video or something instead.
