Well, folks, we've come to a moment I had hoped I wouldn't live to see. Looks like New Balance is done as a mod and there will be no more updates. Haart, who worked with Liker on New Balance is reportedly no longer working on Gothic and Liker is finishing up work on New Balance and wants to make a new short story mod. I guess it's not impossible that some small fixes and improvements will come out, or possibly he'll come back to it eventually, or do another one-off, but it's the end of more than five years of regular updates.
However, we already have so many additions to the game and so many builds that even if we play New Balance to death we won't exhaust all the ways to play.
Anyway, the New Balance community is very active and big and it can definitely happen that someone will continue to improve New Balance, modify it or invent new plugins and things. The Magic Rebalance mod may also continue and bring a lot of interesting things to the game, like texture packs, the new fight animation mod that was recently created and so on.
As for me and us, I will continue to improve the Czech language and we can finally put in the final version of the writings and tutorials, in which nothing will be changed anymore, as well as we can finally work on the Tier List class and other things.
So there's always going to be stuff going on, and I definitely think there's a lot of stuff that's going to come up, just settling into the final version of the official mod.
BTW. As kind of a last thing, a new version of SNC mode is coming, I'll throw more info on it in my next post.
