Well no, I’m not planning that! And as you now can see in recent pictures I don’t have a grey old beard. 
But the game itself, yes it is at an advanced stage now. The only problem I have is that I am still getting new ideas. But, it is just a case of continuing, continuing, continuing until it’s ready.
But I’ll say this, writing it has been an experience of re-discovery. Re-discovery of how much I just really enjoy writing computer games.
after you get this published you have to do a version of software star, loved that game!
Nice idea! Doing another Software Star would be really enjoyable.
