My point was simply that early on Kris's messages were clear about not having time to devote to unpaid development on a 10 year old game - but many of the replies didn't seem to catch on. I wasn't the only one that noticed, either. A lot of JA2 fans seem to have some angst that no developer has taken up the turn based tactical banner. I guess I just expected some of them to read about the low sales figures, broken marriages and 100 hour work weeks and show some understanding. It's a rare enough thing that game developers post on fan forums without rude fans scaring them away again!
I did find it amusing that Kris was trying to find a middle ground between his current project and JA2 though. I can totally see a tower defense barracks that hires AIM assets.
Also I just wanted to post an update since I found his blog post very interesting.

I'm sure some of the modders here have similar sentiments , but do we care ? No , I have paid my money ( several times ) for this superb game , I understand the dev's have moved on to 3D, FPS etc. , but this game is OUR game , we mod and update as much as possible thanks to dedicated and talented guys with way more free time than sense . Surely some small game dev's can actually understand that there is a small but dedicated market for this type of game or even UFO Enemy Unknown game . They have more ability to make you relish the challenge than 99% of games thrown out these days . I enjoy the Fallout series ( newer ones )but keep coming back to JA .
Anyways , rant over , and who was rude to Kriss ? I can't recall any such posts .
BTW , welcome to our friendly forum at the Pit !

Something is very wonky with the forum or my browser (Firefox). My post keeps oscillating between Kris Morness's thread in the OT forum (where I posted it!) and this thread (which I have open in another tab). At first I saw it in the intended thread, and then after refreshing it showed up in this thread, and then a bit later it showed up in the proper thread again. Now it's back to this thead.
