Most NEStalgia players have cleared the current content and are awaiting another major update. With 30+ hours of content to wade through right now, NEStalgia is a huge game. Simply adding new stuff on top of that isn't going to resolve our main issue: the fact that there just aren't enough players on BYOND to support original games like this. If I were to focus my effort on another major content patch right now, most of you would clear it in about a month and we'd be back to square one. We've got a lot of great stuff in store for future content patches and the continuation of the story line, but you likely won't see anything new for awhile.
Instead, my next major effort will be promoting NEStalgia externally. A large influx of players will greatly ratchet up the social aspect of NEStalgia, which is what the game needs to maintain a steady player base. I don't feel any sense of urgency on this, as the game's appeal isn't going to go away if a few more months pass before people hear about it. As I've said before, NEStalgia doesn't have an expiration date on it.
Putting these plans in motion takes free time, and unfortunately I've been pretty darn busy lately. When I'm prepared to take the next step I'll be sure to let all of you know about it; but until that time all I ask for is patience.

Since you mention the game's appeal not going away in a few months, does this mean your advertisement may not come for a while? If so, what was the point of this post, to announce there will be no major updates until you're game promotion is up and running?
Sorry. :)
edit: Off-topic, but I was also wondering if you have any plans to create more games like NESTalgia? I really enjoyed the game, and I'd love to know if you're going to be publishing anything in equal quality in the next few years! ;p
I'm assuming you're going to spend most of your time updating and promoting the game next year instead of creating new ones... Worth asking though, heh. :)
