I think the sessions where stimulating faster development. My idea is to start the weekly chats again and just try to be here if possible and otherwise, we'll see next week. The day and time at this point are: SATURDAY 22:00 hours (9:00 PM) I'll be there for sure - NEWSGROUP: The Newsgroup thing is not working out the way I hoped. Some of us have trouble accessing, others just check mail far more often. I will go on using the newsgroup since I think it's an addition to our communication but I willalso use mail. - PAINTCARS: After Andy moving places and John having trouble with his PC, I think we are all ready again to get on with our projects. I think the weekly chats will motivate development, so just let's see what will happen. - GAMES BOOK: My book is just about ready. I'm out of money and out of blanc CD's. Otherwise you all would already have a copy. It's a 200 page PDF-document on CD. The CD is a PC-CD with both Acrobat for PC as Acrobhat for Mac on it. The first 80 pages is an article (book) written in 1982 about games design. I think this text is still very essential for games design and development. The rest of the pages show a wide veriaty of images from games around. That is not special, what is special, is that I tried to find a lot of concept art and development art. I put that all togheter in one "bookish" type of PDF. I will also sell CD's to anyone that is interested. They will cost £ 5.- , DM 10,- each.. That only covers my expences (mailing, burning the CD and making the inlay and stuff). - WINGWORLD: I also still want to finish WingWorld. I know we can do only one game at the time, but I think this game is developed for more than 50% so why not finish it. Paul, did youalready checkthe models? Andy, could you check the bug.. Like always, just take your time. I just know that people in this industry need lots of motivation. - FREEFALL: Some personal very bad news. The company that was going to develop a demo for FreeFall, can't afford it. They can even go bankrupt course of it. They did say that if I could get a demo, and they could get a publisher, that the effort will surely be paid for. After finishing WingWorld or Paintcars I would like to try to create a FreeFall Demo. Please let me know if you all would like that or not. - SOUND: I think I'll als take a look at some sound files to use for effects, I all of you could do the same, we have the biggest chance to find something usefull. Well, I hope to chat with you all on saturday.. I will put this NEWS on the Newsgroups so you can also reply in public if you like, or you can rely by mail. Cheers, DEnnis..
