No, I'm not at all against Future Pinball. How could I be against something that I haven't seen yet. I am wondering if many most of the VP community has lost interest in the project, since the last post asking for an update was 9/8, and the last post of information was 9/4 by lio. And the vast majority of posts in the thread at vpf before that had started to detour off topic.
Maybe the FP team simply doesn't have anything new to report. I do wonder why they even leaked anything about the project until they were closer to having something to release. Now, I don't know when the first rumbling about FP happened, since I was gone a while, so I don't know how long FP has been in developement. I know it can take years to create and work out the bugs in any software, so there probably isn't anything to worry about. But with UltraCade and a major update and fix for VP, it seems an odd time for Leon and lio, the main spokesmen, to be so quiet.
I could ask a lot of questions, but most of them have been asked already, so I won't repeat them. But I will ask a new question. If the fixes and update to VP gives us a greatly improved and better VP, will there still be interest in Future Pinball? And before you answer, think of the learning curve that might be involved in using Future Pinball. The better VP becomes, the more difficult it will be for FP to have the impact they have hoped for. Simply thinking out loud.
