Well, it's just been announced that PoG FC1 is ready, meaning that could be the copy of the game we eventually receive. So, what does this mean for Coldstone? Well, I would assume that it is complete in every way except perhaps interface polishing. After all, they wouldn't want to distribute something made with a buggy editor, would they? If this is the case, I think we can also look forward to Coldstone going FC very soon. I, for one, am very excited.

Not to be pessimistic, but I think you're jumping to conclusions here. You say "They wouldn't want to distribute something made with a buggy editor, would they?" - ever played Ferazel's Wand, or Harry? Ever tried to use the editors for each of those? There's a big difference between having a functional engine and having an editor for that engine which is fast, stable, and user-friendly. Given that Coldstone is "the real deal" - that is, it's a separately marketed app, and not merely an add-on for PoG - such polishing is even more important. I'm guessing (note from the progress logs that there hasn't been a Coldstone beta release since April) that it will be a little while longer yet before Coldstone is "ready for the masses", but that's OK - you'll probably be having too much fun playing PoG to care.

Perhaps not totally user-friendly yet, but I'm sure it's coming along quickly.

I seem to recall that PoG was a higher priority than coldstone or something to that degree. I was laughing while reading your posts, you sound so happy and sure of yourself, although I'm pretty certain that you're sounding more confident than you really feel(as if you just want to believe!).. I doubt we'll get coldstone before December.

What's this? If we Dee says we have reason to be excited, than I will curb my feeble attempts to subdue my excitement for the impending release.
Okay, I have to go dance a happy little jig. When I'm worn out or break an ankle, I'll be back.

Grrr... Stop pissing on our party, would you? ::Offers saph a mug::
Sorry to make you so nauseous Saphire, but hey what's the worst that could happen? I'm still dancing my happy jig in December when CS is finally released, and I look like a dumbass?
I'm getting pretty used to looking like a dumbass, and if I am still dancing at least I'll be a dumbass in excellent physical shape!
