Yes, but I was talking about adding things into the game they were working from, which was 2005.

What developers?

IIRC wasn't the whole project dead and it was onlt because Dan and Chris did unpaid work it ever came back?

There was certainly no money thrown at it, so how can you expect miracles?

Yes, but then again they happen to working in a far more globally marketable game and have the backing of publishers and the like.

Makes it a tad easier I'm sure you'd agree.
