Probably just best to deal with it, some games have been greenlit for a year longer than FF and still aren't on Steam. D:

I'm surprised more people aren't / weren't upset at the lack of rules for Greenlight that are directed towards Valve, like maximum contact times and so on.

The only reason is that it has to be updated to the new Source Engine. I believe dexter has been working on it.

Seriously though, I think it's likely that the last two remaining devs are fed up with and over FF. You guys have all asked a million times and nobody has so much as hinted at an answer. When I asked dexter and squeek they said they were porting to the new sdk. But anymore if you ask dexter where squeek is or what's going on he has no clue.

Quote:
ᴅᴇxᴛᴇʀ: you probably know more than me
ᴅᴇxᴛᴇʀ: at this point
There's MAYBE one dev left, depending on what dexter is actually doing. And even if he finishes the port 3 years from now, it's not like he's going to magically whip up new models, animations, and textures.

I don't know if something newer than 2006 sdk base is a requirement for a steam release. If it's not, then I suggest every one stops fooling themselves and release the game as is, to salvage what little is left of the greenlight benefit.

If some team wants to come and make the next great fortress title they will, but FF is not going to fill that role.

The real reason Squeek is inactive is due to stealing bitcoins from Mt.Gox
But when the jail term has ended he will invest some of those coins and make ff into a triple A free to play title.

It is also going to come out with a new class. The Technician, the class uses radio controlled small buggys with a bomb attached to it, and controlled via remote viewing.

He also has a mini glider that can be used to jump off higher platforms.
