From the site: From aXessfehler, creators of Age of Pseudopods(TM) and Age of Monotremes(TM), comes a real-time strategy game that is truly for the birds."

    Should I be concerned that the webpage touts "Coming Spring 2003"?

      Eighteen months after release date, "still working on it," nothing available except some boxart and meaningless stuff about branching tech trees which every strategy game has had for a decade, and haven't even updated the website since spring 2003.

      I hate to say it, but 3D Realms is more on the ball with Duke Nukem Forever than these guys are. At least with DNF when they missed the release date, they changed to release date to "When it's done" and we did have that one screenshot in PC Gamer in 1999.

    Now taking bets on how long it takes for SF projects to pop up for these very same titles!

    Admit it. You're thinking of doing it right now. I can see it in your monitor glare.
