I was just wondering...are the Standoff folks still supporting the game (i.e. fixing bugs, updating to work as Windows and DirectX, etc. evolve, and so forth), or have they all moved on to other things?
Just asking because I love Standoff...it's in the running for my favorite Wing Commander game, including the official titles. I still fire it up from time to time and revisit the Battle of Earth.
But I'm also contemplating upgrading my system to Windows 10 when it comes out, and I'm worried that changes that Microsoft makes might break Standoff, especially if they update DirectX or change other things that break the engine. If Standoff is not likely to be "maintained" so it will work (eventually) under Windows 10, I'll have to look at preserving an old computer or a dual boot or something.
To be clear, I'm not whining or complaining. The Standoff folks could never touch the code again and I'll still be grateful for the wonderful game the built. Just trying to plan.
