@bobbystahr, I hear you on Daz's apparent lack of interest, but why is that the case? It's all about business, and I would think Daz doesn't have confidence that a new iteration of Bryce is worth the development cost—and they wouldn't make a return on their investment.

But crowdfunding is a whole different model. Daz would be given the money to develop the program and deliver it to the people who funded it. There's no financial risk for them.
