    It used to be updated a lot, and now almost never.

     The owner of TPT @Simon isn't around as much anymore.

    And the devs do the programming on their spare time as they aren't paid. They volunteer their time & service to the tpt comunity

    Oh it's updated alright. However, nobody's pushed out a new version in a while. With @Ximon gone and the game being mostly feature-complete as in no new elements are currently planned (well, they never are, VIBR was written overnight by @Fast-Driver while discussing it in #powder), development has slowed to a crawl and mostly limited to bug fixes or little touches.

    See the develop branch for any latest changes to the source code.

    actually the next version has two new elements (GRVT and DRAY), it's just that @Simon is gone. I haven't worked on TPT in over 2 weeks though because there is nothing to do and not very fun to work on a game you can't release updates for :|

    I don't think not updating the game is a BIG problem.

    I'm still around, I am just very busy with work and other things. Building and deploying updates does take some effort. I will endeavour to release an update in the near future.

    And he speaks!!!

     

    Last 'big' update was, what? Virs? I don't really remember how long ago that was (not too long), but it has been the largest commit since I've been here, I think. (Oct 5 was around when I joined, so...)
