G'day everyone,



Two new products have been announced (DarkVOICES and 3D World Studio), information on how to install Upgrade 6 without breaking anything and the regular articles, all in this months issue.

And to show I have a sense of compassion, you can even get it here.

-Exeat, out.

Despite what you may or may not believe from the rumours going around, but Rich was indeed the one to write the newsletter, I merely advertised its existance. The thanks have been handballed over to him.

Rich, excellent newsletter again!

But you're brave by asking people to email you requesting MMOG features

Yup, definitely a scary thing to do. It's up there with skydiving and inviting Gordon Ramsey round for a bite to eat.

I guess I should have let Rich know about XUpdate but oh well.

On a beautiful and highly ironic note PlayBasic supports .NET which is awesome and show foresight and deeper thinking than our friends over at TGC (sad to say). They'll keep making noob packages, and add on kits etc etc, and show no regard for .NET whatsoever. It's not that huge of a deal to make a .net version of the dgsdk, they just seem to refuse to do it. Watch out, someone else just might

Quite alright, old chap. I think it's good to let the people know that someone is able to fill in if you suddenly died in a horrific RC car accident.

Good Newsletter, but is there any other kind.

I thought my eye balls were going to pop out of my head when I saw that line about MMOG request. I could not help but think you were losing touch with reality a bit.

In Memory of My Dad.
I miss you very much.

What ever happened to the Aliencodec stuff?!?! I was hoping for news this month. The website has been dead way to long
I can't wait for Treemagik G3! I hope it gets released soon.

When FPSC develops enough, lets make a Redwall game!

Nice mag, i always await the arrival of the new one. That little stutter in the release around january gave me withdrawls. Im seriously thinking about asking to be banned from the forums for a week so i can get stuff done.

More MMO features would be good. However, please could we then have some kind of separate thread for all the crazy MMORPGers to stay in.
