REQ: Running blog of Makslane's work?

Perhaps that may be too much to ask of a single developer, especially if he has another full-time job or something.

However, I think it would help if Makslane popped in occasionally on a blog or his own thread here (no outside posting allowed) and stated things like, "oh, I got 2D rotation and zooming implemented in the next beta," and "working on the movie playback feature now," or even "having trouble with Mac export" and, "it's coming along, but will have VGA support definitely by version 1.xx..."

I believe that would keep most of us game developers in the loop and prospective buyers anctipating the next version, instead of waiting for a "surprise attack" by Makslane with a new version and its wealth of features or bug fixes. ;)

Most people can and have daily blogs now, and it shouldn't take up a few minutes per day to do it. I'd certainly like to see what's truly on the horizon and timetable, and honestly, wouldn't mind paying for it. In fact, I wouldn't mind paying extra to get a few of my requested features implemented now... :D

Personally - I would rather he spent his time developing.

The blog is the "what's new" list you get with the new version.

Also, he often mentions what is on his "to do" list within threads.

I'm with brutalDeluxe. I'd rather use new features than talk about them!

However, if Makslane decides to do a blog, I think that he should do it in his native language. That way he would be making most of us even more worldly than we already are... :shock:
