I understand and agree with your statement mitaadle ... however ...
It's simply the truth, it's obvious, and it doesn't hurt WotC at all. All the time and effort I am putting into this program is simply going to make D&D, their property, more valuable. Suppose that some other d20 publisher sends me a dietyinfo file to include to support their campaign setting. Meanwhile WotC prevents me from officially supporting theirs. Now who is hurt and why? IMHO, it is impossible for this program to do anything but enhance D&D and therefore, enhance WotC. I'm just saying it honestly that they are going to be helped no matter which way they decide, so why loose some "fan appreciation points" by saying no?
I'm not going to make much of any money on this project anyway, so whether its a commercial succes or not is irrelevant. It was doomed to be a financial loss from minute one, but I'm doing it anyway because I am personnally sick of not having a town generator that is worth a damn. It would be really nice if WotC decided they wanted to write a town generator and asked me to stop. Gladly, do it then! But it seems that no one else has stepped up to the plate or ever will, and I hate it when people whine about something without offering to help with the solution. So I'm writing it.
As for the next beta version, I'm working on it. Please have a little patience with me. I'm a self-employed programmer who has taken on a project that amounts to little more than charity work. So I have to work on my projects that actually pay the bills first. Sorry.
