He was, as far as I know, but in his registration response he says "Next is
the commercial version of MechForce.  It will have all of the new mechs and
weapons, world sized maps and multi-combat campaignes.  Look for it in the
second half of next year."  This game is already amazing.  I can't imagine
a commercial version.
