It would be nice to know that the company and the game he put a lot of time and effort into would keep going if he wished. |
20 years is a long time to devote to one game. Been playing since the first OOTP CD came in the mail around 2000. It takes real devotion to keep 20 years on one project. I honestly think that the game is about all it be with the current engine. You can add some bells and whistles and maybe fix a few small things but there are limits to the base engine. In many ways the bones of the game are what they were 20 years ago. Markus and Andreas added a lot to that base game they started with. There have been failed ideas like the old ST sliders for players on what you want to work and they can decline in hitting if they learn a new position but they went away in the next version.
