What ever happened to OBW?

I haven't seen anything posted on OBW lately. Is it still in development? Has it been released and I didn't notice? Is it dead?

(Going through serious "new level withdrawal" and need a "fix" soon. May have to buy PoG just to get my gaming time in!)

Anyone?

thanx

I've been wondering the same thing. I heard PCheese mention that he hasn't touched it in a while though. I'm very interested to see it, considering that I've never played the development levels I obtained some time ago.

NO!! PoG can die. Wait for WarCraft III or go get Deus Ex!

As for OBW....I can't see "OBW" and "released" in the same sentence unless "never" was also there. 🙂

Well, I've been doing some OBW work lately and now that school's over, I'm working even more. But I seem to be the only one I did send an email to the official OBW email address containing some of my work, but no one replied.

However, I have finally surpassed on of my major graphic problems by using Snapz Pro (hint: it has to do with the buttons on the main menu screen), so I can get back to working on the levels.

But right now I'm also busy with MASCOTJuggler. I'm almost satisfied with it, though I'd like to add support for multiple monitors. However, no one has mentioned that to me in the MJ topic so I guess it's fine for the moment. Unless few people have used it as of yet

Current OBW people and status:
PCheese -- working a little bit
Ice -- preparing for bar mitzvah
aschaaf -- gone to the dark side
Bob the Mediocre -- presumed dead: never seen on IRC or AIM or the boards
Thok -- alive but not working?
ferazel2001 -- MIA
Knight of Ni -- also presumed dead
ferazel_09 -- rarely on FW boards
everyone else -- I wish I knew. On second thought, maybe not.

Oh, and the latest OBW stuff is dated Feb. 3, 2002 with 29 out of a possible 48 levels complete.

This is off topic, but what DID happen to aschaaf?

Um no. As you may or may not know, quite a long time ago I left OBW. I gave my mighty sand level, the only one for OBW I finished, to Ice. Ask him about it. If I must I can send other OBW people the file. But I am no longer working on anything OBW related.

I sent my killer Dark Forest level in but that's really all I've done. I'm striving to finish my level set but I'll help out if needed

Well this topic got me motivated. I just finished my Sand level. Now if only my sisters were brave enought to test it... (I've tested it myself, but you always need someone else).

So I'll upload it and you can add one to our level count.
