I was wondering, is Bungie still seeking to be an incubator for independence game developers through their Aerospace program? I know that Crimson Steam Pirates was probably only as popular as it was because of the backing of Bungie but they have yet to announce any more partnerships and all hints of the program seem to have disappeared from the redesigned website. The only trace of Aerospace left is the [url=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/aerospace/]old website[/url] and the clearance Aerospace t-shirts in the Bungie store. So is this program discontinued or not?

I'm very certain that Bungie Aerospace is alive and well. Afterall, [url=http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=76597070&postRepeater1-p=2#76597177]Enormous Corgi[/url] linked someone to the application page for Bungie Aerospace back on December 30th, if the program was truly dead and abandoned, why would he do that? What you folks need to understand is that Independent Development is not a pretty process. It can take several failed game concepts before you find something that's good enough to push to completion, and even then it can be a slow and arduous process. It would be nice if we had a bit more information about how many different groups are working with Bungie Aerospace at the moment, but it appears to be alive and relevant still.
