Yes, I was completely disappointed with the game, when I first purchased it. This one looks promising and it's being coded by one of the coders who did the more modern Devil's Whiskey clone of BT. I've yet to see the game in action, though, as it's only a linux port. Basically, I send in images, hoping for the best and fix bugs in the graphics, when the coder sends me screenshots. =/
Kinda sucks, but it's a game I'd love to have. Eventually.....
