Honestly, I don't think any software developer can guarantee anything. I don't mean to sound flippant, but that's the case no matter what you're developing. Stuff happens and you try to deal with it the best you can. In our case, we are always maxed out with our resources, so one hiccup has big ripple effects.

By a new game, are you referring to BTS Football? If so, that's Francis Cole's game, and Sebastian has nothing to do with it.

Or do you mean FHM 2015? If so, yes, that could (stress *could*) cause a problem, but let's remember that the first version of any game is always the most labor intensive. For example, OOTP 12 shipped in late June because Markus ended up spending more time than he expected helping Sebastian get iOOTP off the ground. Once Sebastian was up and running, though, Markus didn't have to do that again.

So, same thing here: FHM is now up and running and will be in good shape after the new updates are out. Also, Malte works on FHM too, so hopefully he can pick up any slack as Sebastian works on iOOTP updates.
