Making a program that is in any way, shape, or form actually playable is difficult.
There is a lot to do before the game is even buggy-playable. The cloning screen isn't finished, for instance. There's a lot of work to go.
It's not helped by the fact that this is something I work on in fits and starts. Currently, for instance I'm doing some very cool stuff for Otherworld, and enjoying myself hugely.
So, I do apologize for the delays, but this is going to be a long haul, rather than a "real soon now".
