My hostility stems from disrespect, and my disrespect stems from the fact that he's refusing to give us a simple answer. Even "I'd rather keep my progress under wraps" would be more polite than simply ignoring the repeated question; I have zero respect for people who can't just be up front and honest about how they are doing on something. I'd rather hear "well I've been busy with more important stuff so I haven't actually started," my response to which would be complete understanding considering he's doing this on his own time of his own free will for no material gain. Or even "I'd rather not reveal my progress" would be acceptable; I could at least rationalize that as a possible method of just putting a cork in the bottle of constant inquiries as to how far he's come so far. Just refusing to give us any kind of answer is incredibly disrespectful to the community as a whole, because there is no reason not to give an answer. I don't understand how a simple answer like that is too much to ask for, especially when multiple people want to know it. If you can explain that to me, I'll cease and desist my little crusade right here and now.
Edit: I forgot. Here's the other reason I want to know; if Nunu is in fact too busy to have started it, then I would like to try my hand at AS3 again. I don't want to just start programming the game unless I know that he's not working on it, though; that would be extremely rude and disruptive to the game's successful completion... which is the last thing I want to do. I'd like to contribute, but not in a negative way. Is that a legitimate reason enough to ask what the progress is so far? I think it's perfectly reasonable, and refusing to give an answer seems awfully unreasonable.
