Thanks! It just so happens that we've been taking council on that very issue. It looks like it is just a matter of weeks before we deliver a finished product to Matrix. Much needs to be done still, but there is certainly light at the end of the tunnel.

Applying standard software development principles then, it will take a few weeks to finish up the things you know about plus a couple of additional weeks to deal with the things you don't know about and the new problems you create in the process. Add that up and we're into mid to late October. Matrix will then need to package the game, do some basic quality checks and perhaps a bit of marketing prep and you have an availability/release date right around the beginning of November. Sound about right?

Sounds about right, but I'm trying to be noncommittal for the reasons you outlined...[;)]

We'll keep everyone updated as we pass the remaining milestones.
