Wow! It's great people are still playing TetriNET after I released it over a year ago! 

Just wanted to let everyone know there WILL be a new version soon enough, and it is not discontinued. I've just had a loong break from it, but have been working on a new version for a while. If you have any suggestions for next version, you can email them to [email protected].

     Since then, he has mentioned a few changes that will take place. The game will no longer be called "TetriNet" since the Tetris people claim copyright problems and would take legal action towards him. The new name is a secret for now, but it has already been decided. Other changes will include a new special(s), different console layout, cheat-protection, no colours, a different ranking system, and various bug fixes. There is no set date of when the new version is supposed to be released but St0rmcat assures that it will be soon.
