All I can say right now is rather cryptic and general in nature... but here goes.
Things are going quite well. We've discovered some problems only recently, that exist in stock SH3 and remain to be corrected in other mods... We could ignore these sort of problems and maintain the status quo... or we can fix 'em.
Well... we don't like going around problems. We like to smash them. However, doing that takes time... sometimes more than expected because you run into subsequent NEW problems as a result of fixing things... and the cascade effect means more bugbears must be destroyed... and more time is needed.
Today... indeed the last several weeks... the pace of progress is a bit like a storm that builds in intensity. It seems that things are getting better by the hour... and the more progress we make... the harder we work.
Today was a very good day.
We've still got challenges ahead, but it is only a matter of time. How much time is very difficult to gauge... so we are not a point where we can discuss a release date.
The "teaser" threads are not meant to tease... they are meant to inform. Posting the developmental updates is in actuality a bit of a pain because we have to stop to compose them. We will also not post anything on developmental update threads that we are not certain will make it into the release. Our final developmental (whenever we get to it) update will be a doozie.
As posted above too... it is our last engagement concerning "official" developmental inclusions. We don't want to let it fly until it is as reliable as we can make it. Testing is more serious than it has ever been.
There are indeed major changes... which aren't going to always be visible... and major changes that will be obviously visible.
All will be explained in due course.
1.04 is gonna rock. (Heck, its already awesome... and we aren't yet finished!)
