Most endusers are LOAD, CONFORM, MAKE ART, Y-Phil. It has been like this since 2004 that I am personally aware of (Poser 5 was my gateway drug).
I don't care about the dev's feelings - I have a business relationship with Bondware, not a personal one.
Bondware pumped up unimesh as the main feature. As an enduser I have no idea how this will impact my use of Poser, but the devs talked it up repeatedly as THE major feature for Poser 13. 30 days from launch, unimesh is now off the table, along with the new unimesh figure that was supposed to come with it. We also haven't been told if this will show up later in the Poser 13 lifecyle because it isn't done or if it will move to the Poser 14 development cycle.
If it isn't ready, Bondware should consider pushing the launch back until it is. This launch is starting to look a lot like the Poser 5 launch. The userbase isn't going to have the stomach for dealing with that (again).
It isn't denigrating to ask why I should upgrade if the main feature isn't going actually be in the program.
It isn't denigrating to ask what other features (if any) are coming to the program.
It isn't denigrating to point out that so far, Bondware has done a really poor job at articulating what other new features are in Poser 13. Nothing we have been told is quantifiable.
It is Bondware's responsibility to give us a reason to buy the program.
I am still buying Poser 13, of course - but I want to know what I am getting for my money.
