    On that note, how are things going? I gather you're keeping busy. Anything new? (Do you have a finger, weblog, feed or something to follow for updates?)

    That was kind of my thinking. I'd have gotten to it a bit sooner, but I was a bit overbooked for last year's things (and it wasn't the porting stuff that did it...).

    Amazingly, they've "gone back to their 'indie' roots" and are selling licenses for $99 to the engine... Guess I do need to talk w/them.

    Any word on the Europa Engine/Paradox games?
    Not currently... We had NDA's in place and then they kind of lost contact w/us after that. They were keen on the idea, but I think they've been a bit busy with their other releases. They're one of the companies I plan on pestering again here in another couple of weeks as I wrap up left-overs from HIB and get Caster 1.3 officially released.
