Aww @Lucid being mean and taking our fun complaining about so many bugs away… alas I think my heart has broken
@Lucid thank goodness you’ve resumed this project with your writing skills and this genera I think the game will be great!
Can’t wait
@Scrivener No worries, it’ll still have lots of bugs to be found, I’m sure.
@TheCourier I never stopped. November and December were great, but January and February were down to a few hours a week. That really makes it drag along slowly. But these three days of full time writing is helping a lot.
@bezment78 It’s a different genre. I think there’s a huge market for fantasy (my own favourite). But crime and violence? We’ll see. 
Okay, all edited and the save system is complete. I’m still going through stats, which is taking longer than expected but is extremely necessary for balance.
Let’s see, I have a few hours left today. Hmmm, it’ll be close. Beta might get pushed to tomorrow though, we’ll see.
@Lucid, I just wanted to say I loved Wizard and that game, along with Dragon, hooked me on COG(and hosted, I lump them all together)to the point that I started writing my own. I’m sure you hear it often, but I’m pretty sure you brought a lot of fans into the COG food.
I look forward to snagging Mobster when it’s released. And I do think there’s a market for crime stories. Lots of folks like learning about the seedy under belly (as a former prosecutor, I was always questioned by friends/family about cases).
@HornHeadFan I’m glad you liked it and I hope you enjoy Life of a Mobster, when it comes out.
Well, I’m behind schedule.
I guess it was too ambitious to hope to finish all that in 3 days. I got a LOT done. I’m halfway through balancing the stats, which translates to making sure the difficulty is set right. Not too easy, not too hard, and certainly not impossible. 
It’s going well, but after 7 hours or so, I’m exhausted. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of focus. But, I should find some time tomorrow. I still want to Alpha test it a few times, but not until the balancing is done.
Beta tomorrow night? Maybe? 
@Lucid I hope so, but take your time we could wait, so dont overheat yourself 
@Lucid Or go as fast as humanly possible and drink 2 gallons of red bull and some 5 hour energys to get some energy and pump that baby out! Or do what MaraJade suggested and not destroy your intestines 
Here we go! All ready for Beta Testing!! 
Is just like to state that I loved Life of a Wizard and Paradox Factor. And that I really, really can’t wait for this!
Thanks! I hope you like this one too. 
I got some awesome news. My very talented graphic designed has agreed to do the icon for Life of a Mobster!
He’s awesome. I suggest the ideas and he runs with it. I’ll share it on my Facebook page when it’s ready.
Awesome!
Coool.
Sounds pretty awesome.
Still up for recruitment chief
I sure am @JLBH

I read the beta test was over. Congrats on that! I am looking forward to checking it out.
Good news, everyone! My graphic artist has completed the images for Life of a Mobster and I’ve completed the screen shots.
Looks like the tentative June 13th release day is still on track.
