Anyway my thoughts on Yaroze 2, what I would like to see done is Sony developing a viable PCI/AGP/FireWire device based on the EE then offer different levels of support / libs so professional developers pay shit loads of cash to develop with full support from Sony and also full library and tools access, the have a Yaroze style program that offers a similar toolset but doesn't offer the full support but does give access to Yaroze newsgroups and but offer a program where Yaroze members can release their games to market on a Yaroze label, this would mean Yaroze members get full access to the machine, we would have something to aim for, a release if the game is good. OK none of this is going to happen, we can only hope we get a Net Yaroze 2 program, we can only hope we can connect to it using USB or FireWire (kill serial now, yes I want to start a serial killer campaign) we can only hope we get access to a wider selection of libraries, we can only hope the manuals are better, we can only hope we don't have the libraries stuck on a CD so they can't be updated or expanded, we can only hope for a decent toolset, we can only hope the UKs car prices come in line with the rest of Europe we can only hope for peace. You get what I mean. Nigel http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~ncritten Nigel
