Default Re: Where\'s the patch?

It seems to me that the only "lively" forums on this whole site are that of Land of Legends and Weird Worlds (and War Engine). Two of those areboth members of the "Coffee Break" games that are becoming so popular.

I'm willing to give Andrew L. a little slack on this one. The game works (at least on my PC). The big problem with some of these older games are many.
The reviews of the game have been abysmal with many sites giving Salvo! low ratings and very unflattering comments. I think that this is how Coliseum (Stormcloud) lost its appeal to potential buyers and users. I believe that Spruegames has devoted almost their entire interest to Ouborous, a new strategy engine that is supposed to be really successful. Andrew is right to say that only now have they started to work on "Salvo!" again.

Compare the interest in this game to the interest in the other "intensive" wargames on this site (i.e. Desert Rats, Danger Forward, the whole Dragoon series and ProSimCo's BCT/ATF games). None of them have great massive followings like the coffee-break games. Dominions is a huge exception to this as is IT 2.

I have personally gotten a lot of kind response from developers by using one-to-one communication over the email
. I have also found that most of them really do have ten projects going at once (one that they're actually doing and nine that they are dreaming about doing).

I guess that is the reason why I would give him a chance and a word of encouragement.
