Has the Saltwater Aquarium been forgotten?

We haven't had a new version since february. Whats the deal? I know a freshwater version is in the works, but its been 9 months.
Any timeline of when we can expect updates to the saltwater aquarium?

Well........ Its a long story but basically here it is. When Jim and Prolific went to market the SS in stores they found out that most of the big chains will not carry just one title from any author. So, Jim had to stop in the middle of the salt version and produce the fresh water version so that they would carry either one. Jim and Prolific have been working on the fresh version for some time now, but have run into several snags on that version. Unfortunately right now Jim is suffering form a "writers block" for lack of a better term, and trying to solve some other problems that he has run across. So basically we are, or Jim is "between a rock and a hard place" right now trying to work on serveral things at once. But that's part of the creative process I guess. Good Luck Jim

I asked in the other thread if the creature expansion pack would have counted as a second product or not. I didn't get a reply.
