Walking the unemployment line most likely. And before anyone says "good", just remember that they tried to fix that game! But they ran out of money, went out of business, and the publisher stood by and did NOTHING. The publisher didn't give them any money to fix the game, they just pocketed their share and washed their hands of it. It's a sad day indeed when games like this remain unfinished because of publisher greed, limited development resources and the knee-jerk reactions of fans that demand a finished game or a refund, which of course likely only hastened Novacore's demise. It's because of refund demanding jerks that I will never see a finished product. So, no, I'm not too happy with people like that at the moment.

Yeah. Despite (any possible) claims to the contrary, Desura is not a form of DRM. It's entirely possible to run the game without it. This goes for some games on Steam as well.

That's the changelog, it tells you what's changed in each patch. In this case, it's telling people to check this thread for details on the new features and bug fixes. Nothing unusual here, it's standard procedure for Goldhawk. Now, being unable to download the patch, on the other hand...

I've got the most up to date version on Desura. 15.1 in the launcher. It's the auto-update, NOT the manual download. Check your Desura game list folks, and update as necessary.

Ok, so don't have a sense of humour, see if I care.

"10 min space strategy" is a fun one. Exactly what it says on the tin, a 4x you can play through in about 10 minutes. Also, it's free. Other than that I have to back the love given thus far to Naev. It ain't finished, but it's free and likely always will be.

In other words, if you can see flames on the ground in the crash trail behind the UFO, you used too much firepower. Also, the generator in the back compartment will be one big crater. Try bringing down one of the bigger scouts with three F-17s. It's not as efficient, and it's riskier, but the cannon is far less likely to overkill it and you only need to capture one of these things to get yourself over the hump.

The downside to that in real life is that you're likely to over or under throw the grenade. Not so bad on the underthrow, but very bad news on the overthrow. Throw it too hard and it'll bounce off the back wall and bounce back toward you! Probably outside the scope of this engine to simulate that, though.

Your response is disproportionate. Play nice. But you're right, that typo was unforgivable. I don't know how I missed seeing it the first time around...

It was definitely a bit more than visual. I couldn't hire a single soldier. ...I think you should bow out now while you can still make a graceful exit.

I can confirm this issue, I just got it as well. I did the start new game workaround to hire more soldiers when resuming a saved game. Then, because of the Worst. Dogfight. Ever. (in my personal experience) I had to reload (it was just so easy, and planes are so expensive). When I reloaded, I had to rehire all the soldiers I hired the first time around, and got this bug.
