I agree dark.
Thomas has done a good job and as long as his part of the game is as bug
free as he can get it, I think he should release mota and give out
registration keys. This will take a lot of the pressure off him that has
been building up for a while. It still makes sense to change the
programming language of the game to c++, but maybe it would be better if
it is done as a later bugfix release or something.
However if the c# release would give game crackers a way to for example
find a way to crack the game, I agree with the idea to convert it to c++
first and then release it.

You mentioned wanting to get Mota out of your hair and work on other

While I certainly understand the logic of having the genesis engine in

delay on Mota.
if your happy with this, ---- that's fine, ---- but I don't think
anyone would blame you if you wanted to get Mota itself finished

extra minutes installing for the user is rather different from months

Of course, it's entirely your decision, ---- I'm just conscious how

out mid way through due to complications and the game never got released.
Ultimately though, it's your game of course, ---- just know that not

Beware the grue!
