There are certainly games we've started that we haven't finished. This happens more often than you might think with many publishers and developers. However, early on, we felt that announcing everything in progress no matter what the stage, was a good idea. I think we've gotten better about that. With over 40 games released, I think the ratio is more like 8:1 for Finished vs. "Limbo". Even so, it's almost impossible to bring every single project to fruition, particularly with the vagaries of small-scale publishing and development. To respond to some of the other comments above: "Guns of August World In Flames Black Powder Wars Empire in Arms The entire Talonsoft series" Most of the delay on GoA was before we picked it up. It's moving along nicely to release now. WiF is also moving along well, but did anyone expect this to be anything other than a monster project? Seriously? I think Steve has been doing a great job with this one. Black Powder Wars is moving slower than we'd like, Frank has had many demands on his time (see GoA above)/ Empires in Arms has definitely been taking a while, but like the original FPG while it's long-awaited it will be completed and looks to be worth the wait. Talonsoft Series - TOAW III about to release, Battleground games right on its heels, BoB/BotR moving along nicely, Campaign Series moving a bit slowly but there are exciting developments there as well. The main "limbo" titles I can think of are Combat Leader and Combined Arms. I can vouch for the latter not being vaporware, but on a very slow schedule due to the other demands on my time. The former had a ton of promise, but was unfortunately not going to be completed in its original form. Regards, - Erik
