Agree on both.  A little nervous about adding developers though, knowing 
how easy it is to break the code, and not having the ability to run 
regression tests.

[Exult-general] Fwd: Exult project inactivity?

[Dominik Reichardt <dominus@us...>]

Hi all,

so what do you think of this?

We are planning to have a release soon. OR at least I'm planning to push for a release as soon as I played through BG and can confirm that I haven't been plagued by the disappearing objects :)
And I think it's best if it's gonna be a full release not an RC. We really should make sure that no one plays with ancient 1.2 anymore and I think many distros will not package an RC version.

Apart from that I think we could reply that we do indeed could use some more fresh developers, with the focus on porting Exult to SDL 2 and then to push it onto iOS and Android.

This is just what I think (release and call for developers), what do you think?

Take care

Dominik
