As many are aware, the development of Teeworlds has been going very slowly lately. I've been very busy with my life and especially my work. During this time I've become aware of a concept called The Bus Factor. It tells you how many people that needs to be ran over by a bus for a project to be in deep trouble. Right now for Teeworlds, that is one, and that is me. This is not good at all.

As I've been busy (Teetow as well for that matter), chilly has stepped up and started to organize a 0.4.3 release with hot patches that exist around on the forum. He spoke to somerunce and datag who are coders that is integrating all of the patches and doing some work on the 0.4 branch of the code. No set date for this 0.4.3 release but is coming along nicely. This is a great for factor and I hope the will continue to help out code wise even after 0.4.3.

I'm gonna start taking at least 30 minutes each day, no exceptions, to do something on Teeworlds to make sure something happens each day with it. This can range from coding on 0.5.0, writing a journal entry, fixing something that is broken on the forum (like the forum mailer). It might not sound like much but you can get very far with 30 minutes and 30 minutes easily becomes 60 minutes that becomes 2 hours :)

Cheers!
