You don't say? All kidding aside, when he hits 100 I'll update my version and give it another go... 

[Pinback]

At the rate he makes these vids, it won't be long but are the game updates just as frequent. 

[Pinback]

And he marches on to the 100th this is number 84.

You know... maybe we should set up a pool and take bets on when he hits it. All kidding aside, once he either considers it complete or reaches 100 I'm going to get back to it and hammer it for a while. I saw some things I liked when I tried it, others less so, I think the game certainly has tremendous potential but it is a "high ceiling, low basement" thing.

And he on 85, I'm thinking about July when he hit's the 100 video.

My god he miss a month he might not get the 100 in July now.

An entire month? He's usually good for 2-3 updates in such a time period. He may still make July if he comes out firing on all cylinders, this guy is driven.

Update 88, looks like he slowed down a bit with these devlogs.
 

[Pinback]

And surprise it's not a dev update but a video of unused music for the game, like the first one as some menace to it until the piano starts.
 

[Pinback]

And that man is back again with devlog 89.
 

[Pinback]

Devlog 90 only ten to go but I don't think he make 100 by July, then again maybe
 

[Pinback]

91 come on he's getting their.
 

[Pinback]

Well he not made it to a hundred by this month, only on 92.

To tell you the truth, I still haven't updated my version that I picked up about a year ago, but hey, as soon as he reaches a milestone I'll go for it.
My understanding is that this is his second go-around. This is basically a fleshed out Astrox Hostile space Excavation... I can see why the title change. So Jace has actually been working on his vision a very long time and I'm a bit concerned that he may fall into a trap of trying to create the "perfect" game. By perfect, I mean his definition of perfect. 
I remember something someone told me once.
"You go into business to either make money or be popular". With some slight modification, this may apply here. Is Jace looking to create a game that the widest audience possible will enjoy? Or is he looking to create what he wants to play, what he considers perfect. The two could mesh, yes, but it's unlikely. And in the meantime he has plenty of competition. 

[Pinback]

He would not be the first dev to fall into that chase for perfection, Limit Theory springs to mind.

Devlog 93 hit the ground.
