My reboot / remix of Gameslate was going well until I realized a fallacy (several actually) in the inherent tab-based design, so I plan to reboot again.

I’d rather not leave Gameslate so long in a non-playable state, but the redesign is a bit of a catharsis process for me. It’s not that it’s hugely difficult to recreate, it’s just something where I have to be in the right frame of mind to recapture the original Gates Motel magic. It’ll get there sooner or later and I appreciate the patience of the fanbase that’s still tagging along (especially those who’ve contributed in one form or another).

The recent reboot attempt was entirely new code and a lot of that I’ll leverage into my next design attempt. Once I settle on what works, it shouldn’t take too long to implement.

So the answer to the curious lurkers that I know are reading this: I’ll get it done sooner or later, I’m working on it in spurts. When it’s ready it will probably suddenly appear, just like this reboot did, only hopefully in a more complete state.
