Does anyone know anything about this? I saw on his site (www.home.earthlink.net/~redink3d/) that it was expected to come out in early January. Is there a page with screenshots? Is it still in production? DonnyD http://www.donnyd.com

Have you tried searching for his name in here? I think he goes by jbrugion but I'm not positive. I know he posted something a couple of weeks ago about it but I'll be damned if I could remember what that said either (been sick and can't remember anything. Damn cold...). I know it got delayed with other projects, but I think it'll be out reasonably soon.

I heard it was to be out this very day. Ah well, it's still early in the States...

Working on it right now.... The Dress Shirt is done and at Daz and the last run on the T-Shirt is cranking right. I will be uploading it to Daz and my testers for a final QA check later today (Sunday). The updated versions of the shoes and boots are done but I haven't uploaded them to Daz yet. They'll be going up as soon as the T-Shirt is gone. I still have some last minute work on the pants, shorts and bodysuit. Mainly running smoothing code that I perfected for the Dress Shirt based on feedback from my testers. My testers indicated, and I agreed, that too much of the Mike musculature was showing up on the clothing. Thus I have been working on toning down and smoothing the clothing morphs to make them more realistic. This turned into something of a challenge for the Dress Shirt and it slowed me down a lot. As I put in a previous posting, the initial versions looked like the "Incredible Hulk". The final version is much improved over that but it took some time. I'm not making promises right now as to an exact release date as my life has also been somewhat more hectic lately, which is the other reason I've slipped this far from January. The biggest consideration for the release date is that I do listen closely to my testers on matter of look and aesthetics. I would rather spend another week getting something just right than meeting a particular release date. I just don't want to release a bad product and neither does Daz. I appreciate everyone's patience and I hope you'll be happy with the result.

I am very impressed with the dedication to quality that has been shown by yourself and your beta testers. This dedication can only serve to make a superior product.

Very Nice. I wasn't complaining. Just curious as to the status. Of course, seeing them in use adds fuel to the fire. :) I've been waiting for Duke Nukem Forever for a while now. I accept the "When Its Done". I like that a whole lot more than "let's release it now - let the customers find the problems and patch them as they find new ones." DonnyD
