Official Armadillo Q&A thread on the X-Prize Forums (thanks Redwood) features the id Software lead programmer outlining the status of his team of hobbyist rocketeers. Along the way he describes the balance of how he can divide his time between spaceflight and game design by admitting he's already working on some new tech for their next game:

Id vs Armadillo:
I am working on the rendering technology for the next game right now, so it looks like the balance will stay about the same for a while at least.

Im pretty sure Halflife will not have it. Its just going to have physics toys like Max Payne 2. Redfaction only let you destroy dirt, and not much of it. Buildings were still invincible. Silent Storm, the isometric game, had some of the best building damage in a game that I have seen recently. Your guys hear a german walking on the other side of a wall or on the floor above you, and your heavy mg'er can blast a hole right through killing him. Or you could use heavy explosive to create shortcuts.
