Info: 2024 Game Updates

[DRG]

Some of you may have been wondering why there has not been any info on this year's updates

It's complicated and involves personal issues for both of us. We weren't exactly young when we started doing this in 1998 now add 26 years on to that. There were years when we had released two updates per year. Those days are long over

What I can tell you now is we will not be issuing this year's updates for both games together as has been SOP in the past

We HOPE to have the final release for winSPWW2 ready by the end of April 2024 and we HOPE to have the final release for winSPMBT ready before Christmas 2024

That is all the info I can provide for anyone at this time

FYI.........." before Christmas 2024" is not going to happen

My apologies for not updating this sooner. I forgot I had said before Christmas and there is no way that is going to happen.

Perhaps sometime late winter early spring 2025..... MAYBE

I thought I would slip this in this thread

I figuired this factoid out on a whim

I started working on what became SP2ww2 at the beginning of January 1998. Andy started August 1998 and over time that work morphed into the two mods featured here.

Jan 1998 the world population was 5,875,688,329

Today it's 8,202,999,400 ( and counting...)

So we have been working on this game longer than 2.3 BILLION people have been alive

And just for more giggles it took all of recorded history up to 1927/1928 for the world population to reach 2.3 Billion

Sounds like you've been double timing it for some time. That's a 200% effort. That's a mighty impressive contribution to wargaming. My thanks go out to you both, you and Andy.

I was 15 when the game became available. I remember cutting grass all that afternoon and trying to push that mower along even faster so I could get inside to download it, which took a couple hours IIRC.

Was it SP2WW2?

[mkr8683]

Yes, with the scenario "The Raiders Ride to Work" or something? Each tank unit had the name of people involved with the Wargamer.

OK.... Then you are almost the age now that I was then

Speaking of that past, is Ed Mortimer still around?

I have no idea. I have not communicated with him since we ended the DOS version updates and started work on the windows version. I think he wandered over to Matrix but in what capacity IDK
