Hard Drive failure has caused a total freeze in development until i can get a new one. I have backed up all the work to date however without a computer to work on that's meaningless. Due in part to a complete and utter lack of funding development will not resume for another 2 to 4 months pushing the beta back 3 to5 months.
Difficulty and disaster
Sorry to hear that. I feel with ya.
That's too bad, man! This is looking really cool by the way.
