I'm in early to do the warfare switch, as always. While I wait for structures to demolish, I thought I'd give you guys an update on what's going on. I know some people here think I just laze around at the studio all day doing little to no work, in general it's quite the opposite. It's just not work on Legacy, or Fallen Sword, or Eldevin.
For the last year I've been working on our newest project, and as much as I'd love to show everyone what it is, it's sadly still a secret. The server-side / back end of this project is written entirely by me and it's putting me under quite a large amount of pressure.
That being said it's going to be a great game and I'm incredibly proud of what we've made so far. It should be released fully towards the end of the year, it's heavily influenced by our past projects and even has a few mechanics from Legacy in it that you'll one day see.
What does this mean for our current games? Our continued existence as a company requires that we make new products as the old ones lose popularity. This does not mean we've forgotten about you guys, and it does not mean we're shutting down old projects. It does mean it's really hard for me to find time to do updates at the moment, but wont necessarily always be that way.
I'll always try to keep Legacy running, regardless of what the company is doing, but I can't let it keep stressing me out anymore than I don't have time to do massive updates. If someone else wanted to do updates in their free time for me, I'd probably be able to swing it so they could get access to the code at this point. But we've all grown up a lot in these past 10 years, we all used to have lots of free time and now find ourselves with less and less, so I can't imagine volunteers having much more time than myself.
As for the voluntary helper situation, I'm going to loosen up the rules a bit when it comes to being staff and playing the game as well. I'll be chatting to FatTony about his possible ascension in the coming weeks.

"FIRST! "
Gaki
"Best of luck, I hope your game gains a lot of publicity and is a huge success. Be proud of yourself and keep doing what you enjoy doing. Overall, much appreciated of what you have given us so far. "
Teeg
"Yay! ft for staff!"
Albel
"I call dibs on the creative department! I have many ideas and suggestions "
BadPenny
"New game? VH players? The first intrigues me, the second made me pee a little... "
dagreek
"Fattony makes sense for staff. And, its nice to know that there is something going on behind the scenes. Whenever the NDA is up, please let us know. I'm game to try it!"
rollin340
"All you have to do is disallow WLs really. And disable their access to other Gangs' Forums. The rest is up to trust; which you already do with VH. And let us know when the project is out."
Aaron
"Should put Skorne on the table as another solid choice"
k3nny
"Let langer and rod code !!! Also get Steven adding his artwork with the tier 2 his created along with tibos "
MVP
"The official unofficial legacy is dead but not closed up but still dead now post."
Rod
"I'd like to help develop the game, if it'd be an option while still being able to remain a player. I can't commit to major updates, but there's lots of smaller improvements I could help with."
Rage
"As a returning player, it's great to see that the game hasn't changed much and has kept much of it's originality. Kudos!"
Matteh
"Listen Zorg, I'm gonna come out and say it. I love you. You've given me more than 8 (of my TOTAL 20) years of entertainment, and I thank you for bringing this community together. Were a family."
Bongo
"FatTony finally getting his promotion "
Steven
"I would fully support FT in his new role!"
newlagoon
"Pretty sure there is a number of players, still present, willing to work on this game's code. "
Bizzly
"I'd rather new coders run amok than letting the game die slow. Many of us log in every day after a decade. And good luck with the next project "
FatTony
"You are coding a new Legacy game no doubt! Doing maybe 4 hours of so-called "work" per day, while lounging in the office not lazing, then off to the pub to drink! Nice arrangement there! "
Jiggy
"Can't see anyone having an issue with Ft being 'player staff' and also it's great to see you adjust the rules slightly. "
Pimp
"Good to hear, good luck and Ft is the absolute best pick"
Gutie
"So is that why FS and Eldevin are falling apart? Those games need some love. Does hoof have ADD or something? (I'm kidding...kind of). Either way, good to hear what you're up to Zorg. "
Larse
"The last 5+ blog posts have been lies. Please tell us the frank truth and stop spinning the false web."
zerocomman
"Dont do it FT. Make them pay you for your time"
