Everyone is working hard to get the game gold worthy for its rapidly approaching release window early next month. There is a small chance that the few bugs we are currently dealing with could knock us out of that window. If that happens we will let you all know. That is the reality of computer game development.

Tombo,
The manual draft from layout is in review and needs a couple edits. I can check with Erik and see if we can post a printer friendly version on the site ahead of the release. No guarantee. Everyone is crazy busy. [:)]

Did we say the end of summer?
The first day of fall was last week. So, we missed our first target. [:@]
However, October comes directly to mind...[&o] [&o] [&o]
Good Hunting.

jnpoint,
Looking somewhere between the 8th and the 10th. The gold master is done, but there was a glitch on the manual images sent from us (somewhere in doing them the resolution went from 300 dpi to 96dpi) and it may cause the boxed version to fall behind. I'll see if I can get a Status Monday from Matrix.
Price: Can't say. Matrix will put that up when the game releases per their standard operating procedures. I can say it will be less than other modern warfare game released in the last few weeks. [;)]

Oh darn! I was so looking forward to another 27 page discussion...[:D]
Next weekend is a three day weekend for me, so as long as it is out before Friday I'm good! [8D]

OldSarge,
Must be nice on the holiday. I'm in Ohio where Columbus is the capitol and we don't get it off. [&:]
As for the "pricing threads" I'm sure we will here something and I will cheerfully direct them to page 28 of the main forum on the topic. [:D]

MATRIX usually releases on Tuesday so the 8th is a better bet than the 10th

mikeCK,
That is our hope as well, but having spoken to Matrix we know it could be after the 8th and we are just letting folks know. With the documentation issue late in the week the printing copy lost a day or two to the schedule. We will have to wait and see what happens.

Tombo,
I'm going to see if we can get cleared to put the Printer Friendly Manual up when we have our Dev call Monday evening. We also need to get that PDF version from Matrix and the Layout gurus.

Nothing new. Updating some info on the product page and working on the Modding guide right now. Everything else is with the Matrix/Slitherine team and there QA/Production team.
I hope we don't disappoint either. [;)]
