Shit, we must have forgotten or something

Sequels suck. We have Darwinia coming to beta, we have another small game nearly finished, and we have another full game with 6 months work done already. We also have at least one other full game idea which we are bouncing around. With all these original ideas and inspiration, why on earth would we want to devote two years of our time to remake Uplink?

You do know even after saying that they are still going to say the next game is Uplink 2/online? Perhaps a massive disclaimer when they sign up?

"Introversion do not do sequels to anything they make so don't ask. It annoys the regulars." Something to that effect?

True, sequels are time consuming and sometimes they flop like a pancake. However, I think there is room for improvement.. A patch could be released that did some of the following:
- Made the game remember how the connections were bounced the last time you played Uplink instead of having to do that each time you run Uplink.
- Save Slots. Why only one save per user? Sure, there is a workaround to copy your profile to a backup dir in case you screw up, but still, that would be much more elegant.
- New apps. For example, an app that would store all accounts from, say, a bank to a file or e-mail, instead of having to write everything down on paper. Another nifty idea would be an app called Connection Bouncer in which you could input your first bounced server (like InterNIC) and your final destination. The app would then calculate how your connection should be bounced so that the opposition has a harder time tracking you down. Plus, it gets a bit hectic when you have 50+ servers on the map.

Just some ideas. With that said, I can't wait to see what Darwinia will be like

What a fucking idiot you are. Seriously, ever try reading topics before posting, or do you just randomly spam crap?
