No, Wolflair creates the package. They have a -much smaller- data entry team who codes all the books. now, the 3rd party data sets for Pathfinder (Kobold Press etc) I think uses their own data entry, but I'm not 100% certain. I know I had to submit a bug report to a different email for one of the New Path's Compendium entries once. Of course, that was for HLC. I think Mathias's team had to code it themselves to convert the HLO because of the server architecture but *shrugs* I dunno for sure.

They lost a lot in the way of coders after Mattias was able to come back full time after he recovered from his illness. His partner that was running things when he couldn't made a few bad decisions and he had to fix it, which sadly meant downsizing his workforce because he was busy trying to fix mistakes and couldn't focus on income producing material. Keep in mind some of this was gleaned from posts he himself made. I know it was after when he posted that he had to fix data structure for the HLO system that other data slowed waaaaay down. Of course, then in early 2020 he had to downsize again because of Covid. But because of all that they had to prioritize their largest source of income generation, which is Paizo and PF2e. They put out more books more often and it's a more popular system.

I'm not going to give up on Shadowrun support 100% until Mattias says so himself, but I getting discouraged.


Disclaimer: I do not work for or with Wolflair. This is all information I've gleaned and inferred from various posts from Mattias as well as his senior coders and none of the information can be taken as 100% accurate due to a lack of explicit explanations.
