Oangband - is it still being developed?

[kurie]

I have been playing a lot of this variant of late. It's a lot of fun, and I especially appreciate the charachter specializations.

I was just wondering if it was still being actively developed and maintained? Oangbands website has not been updated for over 4 years now, but I thought I would post here and see.

I believe Nick is maintaining O, however he's been very busy as of late with IRL

A little poking around revealed this, Nick's un-official release thread.

Bahman Rabii, the last maintainer of O, has probably stopped *band development (although he has popped up and made interested noises once or twice). Last time he was around, he indicated that if he did start developing again, it would probably be a new variant.

My plan for O is to keep the gameplay as is, but keep updating it so that the UI stays modern.

That sounds really great! I look forward to it. I've been *banding like a fiend on my netbook ever since I found out they make a number pad you can hook up through USB. lol
