True there will still be updates, but once the core stuff is done not
to much.

Dark, for a very long time it had gotten so bad that literally 100%
of work on Swamp was only to keep up with the endless assault of
hackers. Every now and then things would ease up, or I'd get some
extra free time, and I would make a little actual progress toward the
next set of features or bug fixes. In the past few weeks things have
really turned around because I programmed an AI to take the reins and
handle most of the security for me. It has freed up so much time
that 2.9 is back in very active development.
I think the only reason I didn't consider Swamp "finished" a while
back, is because I had publicly talked about several features I was
going to add to the game, and I had not gotten those implemented
yet. It's all part of the danger of making promises I suppose,
haha! I do believe that version 2.9, or perhaps a following version
3.0 to clean up any missed 2.9 bugs will mark Swamp as being
completed. I have other directions I want to go with games, and I've
been tied to this one for far far too long!
