Don't know tbh, though SFO does have other modders involved. Creative assembly should be releasing 3 dlc this year, and the mod will need updating, so don't know if that means it die at this point or take along time to update. The best time to play it really is now, as we don't know what happens going forward

what I am confused about is that I thought Venris was already taking a step back from modding when WH3 came out and kinda left SFO in the hands of someone else, but either this was just a dream I had or something happened?

I think its a dream, The mod will be dead without Venris

Not a dream. It was definitely discussed. IIRC, it was having more modders joining the team and his ability to work on his own project as well that pulled him back. He can certainly correct me if I am wrong.

Mod will always be up to date, free and for everyone.

Handing SFO to someone else is not possible. We tried that for last 2 years, no one lasted. Mod is just too big to maintain. Modding is also very personal thing, someone would need to learn everything I was doing for last 5 years, not easy task. And full time job really.

Thats re-assuring, as a few days ago it the situation looked more gloomy like SFO was going to be at an end

@venris
I believe I already subscribe to the patreon but I hope that Patreon helps alleviate any financial and time based hardships. You are a Modding God and you are the whole reason this game is as big as it is!

This is so good to hear!

I guess the post about stepping down from SFO just meant developing less - maybe not adding new features and just maintaining it :)

@ venirs,

how can we help u? I really love the mod, it makes the game whole

Yea! What that unitologist said!

that's too bad because without adding new features to the mod when DLC come out the mod might as well be not updated anymore.

And personally that whole Whispers of the Eyeless kickstarter thing is so far from what I like to play, saying it's ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't even make sense because its probably not ♥♥♥♥, its just in another galaxy of what I find fun to do :)

so good luck on that hopefully you can make it work!

I did not said that we wont be working on next DLC. Please read with understanding. Nothing is going to happen with SFO mods in near future.
