It has nothing to do with 'getting caught'. The new codebase was planned and in development long before Aardwolf was listed on TMS. Many people can confirm this (of course, they're all Aardwolf players, so you won't believe a word they say anyway right?). The original project was actually started in 1999 in Java and shelved due to lack of time. It was revived earlier this year and after hitting a wall with Java performance (mostly related to bugs in the native ZLIB implementation and lack of performance of a 100% Java ZLIB), work began on moving to C.

Once again, there are daily backups showing code progression, CVS logs and full source code available for review by an independant third party under NDA. Why is this necessary? Because people like you have apparently already decided ahead of time what the new code will and will not be.

Attack us for rewarding donations during a limited time period a couple of times a year if you believe that is wrong, but please don't attack us for something you speculate we might do in the future.

Thank you.
