I¹m not sure if its apathy or more likely just the holiday weekend. That said...
I¹m sorry its taken so long to do Infinite LiveCode. As I¹ve said in my keynote, in the comments section and on the blog, we wouldn¹t be funding a new project if it that one wasn¹t in the last stages of being wrapped up. Android has been mostly delivered and the other platforms and stretch goals are a small piece now. We really have finally cracked this project, getting it into a build is the last step. The reality is that we now need to look at what we are doing next and what is affordable. If we don¹t fund this project, the knock on effects for the platform will be very significant. We¹re already a very small team that punches well above our weight. We have the potential for a very bright future with the rather amazing stuff that you can now do. Check out Ali¹s blog post on Android and wait a few more days for more. We can build on everything we¹ve just created and maintain the considerable momentum we have built or we can shrink.
