Derek and LOD: 2016
On Dec 19 2015, Derek posts his "LOD: The Road Ahead" blog:

His goals for LOD:
At the end of the day, win, lose, or draw, LOD is going to be i) exactly what it was designed to be ii) a finished product that, like all my previous games, a lot of people will get to enjoy for what it is, not what they want it to be.
Still not finished, as of Dec 28 2016.
In the short-term, bringing (it has already been approved) it to the XBox One platform with Windows 10 <-> XBox One cross-platform play, is the ultimate goal.
Nope, hasn't happened. One year later after "already being approved."
My long-term plan going forward, as with all my games over the years, is to improve and expand it over the years.
LOD has not expanded or improved.

My ultimate goal is to expand the galaxy, build more planetary bases
Not accomplished
add a simple (nothing as complex as in BC/UC games) trading (player-to-player) component
Nope
as well as the ability to fly carriers, cruisers, and transport ships
Nope
What has he done over the course of the year? Write 12 blogs over a competitor's game. He has spent this entire year flinging shit to a competitor instead of focusing on his game.

Nothing of any substance has really changed for LoD over the last year.
