[F4-users] An Update

[J. P. <ja...@37...>]

379, the company driving the sporadic development of the Flat Four 
Engine, has finally run out of gas and will be dismantled at the end of 
this year. This is not news for us insiders, as it has been apparent for 
some time that the company was not being run in a productive way, with 
no clear goal and far too many changes in direction.

I have been the primary developer on Flat Four. Early next year, armed 
with the knowledge of how *not* to run a business, I will be setting up 
shop on my own. I will be restarting development of the engine, on a 
regular release cycle, in the context of producing a working commercial 
title.

I will have more details early next year and a code snapshot shortly 
after, but it's been a long time since there was any activity here and I 
wanted to let people know what was going on. Thanks to those of you who 
have offered support and encouragement in the past, hopefully I can turn 
that into something positive in the not too distant future.
