Board Game Arena

Hi all,

I have been recently discussing with fellow players the various bugs in Through the Ages. There still bug reports lingering from September 2014, almost a whole year, concerning serious bugs that affect gameplay. However, it seems that the development has currently stopped, as none has been addressed, yet. I noticed that the game page reads "Developed by: Board Game Arena", without mentioning a specific person.

So, my natural question is, has the development of game been abandoned? It's currently the best ranked game available on BGA, according to BoardGameGeek rankings, so it would be a shame if we left serious bugs lingering. If development has indeed been abandoned, would anyone be willing to take over? -- I personally would love it, but I currently do not have the time to go through the learning curve of Board Game Studio and fix the bugs, due to work constraints.

Thanks,
Starbuck

A game developed by Board Game Arena is developed by an admin. The Studio was not used so right now only admins can maintain it.
The admin in charge has been way too busy this past year to go the extra mile and do the most demoralizing and time consuming work that fixing bugs is. Maybe will this change in the future, but the price will be one less new great game getting adapted, or something... And I like new games, so I won't complain on the subject ^^

Salut pikiou, thanks for the answer. There is, of course, no complain either from my side, as I can definitely understand the admins' workload. My question was about a... status update and to see whether it's possible to have users maintain the game; apparently, it's not possible.
