Around a month later, ''kyeman'' had sorted out his personal life and decided to start helping out the team with a few things.

He didn't announce it as a comeback, rather that he would just be helping with any difficulties the team had to ensure work on his codebase carried on, and to keep the faith within the community. The idea of co-op was also scrapped during this time, due to technical limitations, and also the disappointing feedback received from the once eager community, and eventually ''kyeman'' officially rejoined the team and took charge of proceedings again. | ||

There also is a dedicated bug reporting system which implies the bugs will all be worked out eventually, with some ''already'' flagged as 'fixed'. | There also are a large number of bugs, but due to the fact the modification has only been released recently this would be expected.
