Moddb.com has just posted an excellent article about the development and eventual abandonment of the highly-anticipated singleplayer modification NightFall, which a few resident forum members have been involved with in the past. The article, written by a past team member, details the reasons the mod eventually failed and is full of never-before-seen concepts and screenshots. Definitely worth a read. An excerpt:

Today we look back at one mod, and try to make sense of Cato the Elder's famous quote: "wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."
