Version 2.0.5 will be the last version of Rescue! in its current incarnation.
Many of you have written with hundreds of really great ideas, all of which have merit. I believe, however, that Rescue! 2.0.5 is feature-rich and complex enough that any more additions would become burdensome to the player (and to me!) The original game was designed small, and there is precious little room for expansion now. It was my philosophy right from the start that Rescue! be a simple game, easy to play and fast-paced. Slow-moving, grand-scale strategic simulations do not interest me- I've always been more of a front-line, on the scene tactics guy. Therefore, you won't see Rescue! evolve and fatten into a poor clone of Pax Imperia or Galactic Empire.
If I continue to receive a good response to Rescue!, I will be creating an entirely new and significantly enhanced version. Its working title is Rescue Max, and it will be similar in style to the current Rescue! but with even more flexibility and variety of missions and configurations, and will include lots of brand new and very exciting features. If you'd like to see this product on your Macintosh in the future, please support my efforts.
Above all, let me know what you'd like to see in the game. I love reading your ideas!
Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement!
