    Well, lots of people have worked on lots of it over the years - I've only done a pittance of the artwork, for instance, and there's a lot of different contributors for dialogue - so maybe blame my managerial skills ;) But there's been a lot of reasons over the years people have committed then pulled out, very serious stuff we don't advertise out of respect / privacy etc, so here we are. Gaear has been good enough to shoulder the Co8 patch almost single-handedly and Ag supplies us with the tools so I can't complain.
    Someone give that man a refund. It HAS been a long time: even Duke Nukem 3 got released first :yikes: But I would like to think the Demo (20+ quests, several hours play etc) showed I wasn't just making shit up...

    Ooooh ooooh can I get a refund too?

    Hey, I paid a whole lot of "make believe monies" for this and I expect it to be ready in, say .... Well, when it's ready.

    And I am standing firm on this, no later than when it's ready, period!

    an (approximate) release date would be greatly appreciated, just so... you know... we can predict the number of Xes we will engrave on our cell wall ;)

    Sorry dude but there is just no point me saying, "well it will be done by the xth" because I just don't have that much control over my life. I work on it as I can, which at the moment is lots, but with my other responsiblilites I can't possbily say one way or the other. Disappointing for all involved, I know, but currently unavoidable.

    News thread, dude! Currently internal testing of final release. Entire Co8 modding community now focusing on this and finish date planned within 4 months. More news in a week or so when I have put some disparate pieces together.

    Yes, it will be activated in the Front End Loader the same as any other mod that is offered.

    Joined this forum years ago so I could keep up with all the cool stuff you all are doing and just recently revisited to see what is new. Just finished a marathon play through of ToEE 8.0.1 and loved every minute of it. Now I am about to do the same with the KotB Demo. I have programming XP in many languages and would love to help in any way possible if you all are interested. If so just PM me and let me know.
