The Arcen Games Website has an update on what's going on at this indie developer, following up on their charity initiative for the Children Of Neinzul micro-expansion for AI Wars to benefit charity and their financial difficulties. The post expands on previous discussions of their money crunch, and explains that giving the profits from their current project to Child's Play is not a the root of the problem. They go on to explain the actual reasons for their distress, and what they are doing to get back on course, announcing plans for Light of the Spire, another AI Wars expansion they expect to release in about a month. Here's word:

We're working on a new for-pay full expansion to AI War, called Light of the Spire, to be released in the first week of December. It's using a lot of the groundwork that we put in for 4.0, which is why we're able to do a full expansion in such a short period of time; we've been thinking on this for a while, and getting things ready. Clearly there's still a big appetite for AI War stuff, and we've got some seriously cool ideas for this one, too.
