Given his past experiences with publishers he might self-publish this
time

But since practically all publishers are keeping an eye on this ng I'm
sure he'll be getting a call or two this week

I mailed to Norm early this month asking about RJW and Norm was kind
enough to throw me a short answer:

--[CLiP]--
The game is ready to release. We are currently working on legal
documents and finishing setup of our company server. I can't give you a
release date, but except for a preview for a few select reviewers (we will
fix anything they find), test is complete.

Best regards,

Anyway, be assured that his first new game will have my support WATHEVER THE
MATTER.

For "TOAW Improved" done like the first one, with improvements (better naval
model, some tweakings in combat routines, a better UI - note that, according
to Norm, some of these improvements were ALREADY DONE in patches that Take
Two blocked) and, of course, the scenario editor, I would pay $100. Flat.
Just point me to the pre-order form.
