P_206: Because he was writing with what was available back then. I think CS2D was written in something else (B3D maybe?) and DC re-wrote it in BlitzMax. It was a lot of work but Blitzmax was probably one of the better choices at the time. Now about a decade passed and DC is working on Stranded III. He said himself that if he was paid a million dollars, he would do it. As I recall the game is 60000 lines of code so it's no small feat to re-write it entirely.TL;DR the game was written in what was good in the past and re-doing it with what is today is too much work so it won't be done.
Ideas for CS2D - READ THE FIRST POST (OP)!
