Fall starts, I believe, mid-September, and ends in mid-December, so GF2 could be out anywhere from a week from now to three months. Maybe October, sooner or later. Knowing Jeff's optimistic self-set deadlines, I'd say later.  Can't be all that long now... I waited for Avernum 3 to come out for over half a year.  -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Its cool how he still programs his games on MACs (now stop capitalizing the word!) even though most of his customers (apparently) are windows users... Posts: 43 | Registered: Wednesday, October 16 2002 07:00 |

do you think it's more challenging to program on a MAC or on windows? Do you use C++ on MAC or is there something else? Posts: 71 | Registered: Friday, August 22 2003 07:00 |

*smacks all around* Macs are Jeff's programming machine of choice. Jeff is more familiar with Code Warrior and the Mac coding formats, so he starts there and then ports to Windows. And more than 1/3 of Jeff's customers are Mac users. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Vahnatai Did Do It desperance.net - We're Everywhere The Arena - God Will Sort The Dead ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Isn't that what I said? And Jeff should hopefully release a bare-bones BoA editor a little while after Windows GF2 comes out. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Vahnatai Did Do It desperance.net - We're Everywhere The Arena - God Will Sort The Dead ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
