ynsaen, If one team is doing ALL of that, then it'll never get done. I can't see them doing anything with PoserArtist, except maybe taking PP and calling it PoserArtist 2. Fixing the bugs in P5 and calling it P6 is just plain insulting. I hope for better with the new parent company. A new program requiring new cash for what was advertised and promised for P5 is the worst kind of fraud. Don't get me wrong, I LIKE P5. I'd like it much more if it did everything they told us it would do to get our pre-release money. I'd like it even better if promised content was ever delivered. I have hopes that the new parent will take a firm hand in the P6 development, and invest in making it what it could be. You're right about exploited bugs though. Hopefully, those bugs will be redefined as "enhancements" and standardized. That's a wonderful old management trick I learned early in my programming career. Something doesn't work to spec? Call it an enhancement and teach the used the EASY workaround. In a week they don't want it changed. One thing though, anyone who lived through the whole pre-release fiasco with P5, and the "public beta", would have to be a complete idiot to buy it for a couple of months. I'm stocking up on my popcorn and soapboxes now, although I don't expect to need them for a year. This is going to be better than "Days of our Lives" and "Dark Shadows" combined. Did I just show my age?
