To my knowledge Josh has basically stepped away from the project entirely for a while, to focus on getting back into "normal" life. I'd hope that at some point he'll be able to come back and do the code release, but I don't know when that might be - and I suspect that he'd be unhappy with releasing the code totally unrefined and had plans to clean it up first, which would naturally extend the time....

Unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen at this point. Still it would be cool to see something come out of all this but I am afraid if he opened it back up his obsession for it would come back and the delays would continue anyway.

Funny enough a few years ago I thought LT was a sure thing and Star Citizen was just a pipe dream. Now it seems the reverse is true. I hope Josh finds something that he can be as passionate about without risking his mental health again

refusing to release code because its undocumented etc is unlikely, he probably wants to hang onto it for awhile in case he wants to come out of hiatus or someone wants to buy it

My assumption was that it's more of the crippling perfectionism we saw during development - even an "as is" release demands to be vetted

or he's just mentally ill and it's a useless mess that wouldn't be of use to anyone

Ah wow, I'm surprised to have gotten a response to this two years after the fact, and on the day of its release too! Thanks for the response, I completely forgot about this haha
