Future progression of the game

Any news?

I notice that the "Our Games" page at Shrapnel.com now lists a September 2001 release time for 82nd Airborne. Is this just a wish, or is the game on track for that month?

Thanks!

Well, since I don't even see a Beta forum fo r AA, I'd say that the September date is a bit hasty.

On an interesting note I saw a brief mention of AA in a computer magazine. It was only a sentence or two but at least that's something. I think it was either in CGW or Computer Games Strategy Plus.

OK, here's the status of All American:

2D Art: 95 % complete. Need to finish interface work only.

3D Art: 95% complete. Interface and opening movie.

Programming: The hold up right now. We lost our progammer.

Realistically, we have about 6-8 weeks work left. Before beta. 3-4 week beta and then gold.

Tim, thanks for the update. I still have faith in Shrapnel and this game, and I know you all will be doing it right.

Thanks again.

Thanks Tim. That was a sorely needed update on the game. Are the contest winners still going to have their photos as the soldiers? Just curious, I was one of the winners.

That is an old date and is not accurate. I'll get you more info as we can release it.
