If you've looked at my home page, you've already read this:

I know most of you are upset because the demo did not come out yesterday. Unfortunately my old methods for estimating how long things will take to do won't work anymore. So much has been added to SSF2 since it first started out, and a consequence of that is the amount of time it takes to tweak characters both coding-wise and sprite-wise. So I apologize for yet another delay... :-_-:

Anyway to make a long story short, I have been working my hardest for the past couple weeks to make v0.5 the best demo yet, and I can't do that by rushing. SO DO NOT EMAIL ME ASKING ME TO HURRY UP, AND DO NOT ASK WHEN THE NEXT DEMO WILL BE, I WILL BE GIVING YOU MY BEST ESTIMATE NOW.

So when is it coming?

Judging by the amount of time it has taken me to get what is currently in the demo, at the very latest the demo WILL be done before this week ends. But I want to make sure it is done right, so it will be released when I think everything is ready. So who knows, it could be done tomorrow, Wednesday, or even Friday. The important thing to understand here is that I do not want to release the demo if everything is not right. I've been sayings this repeatedly, and I'll say it again: v0.5 contains the MOST technical changes out of every demo thus far. So trust me, it WILL be worth the wait!

So I won't stand for any more complaints; I am not obligated to make this game for any reason, and I've been working my hardest to make it the most enjoyable demo so far. SO DO NOT EXPECT A REPLY IF YOU COMPLAIN OR ASK ME WHEN THE DEMO WILL BE DONE :evil:

------------------------

And lastly, a lot of you have been asking about the Dojo as well. Since I'm not the one creating it I can't say for sure when it will be done, but when I release the next demo I will provide further info on its current status. Last time I checked things seemed to be going well but I have been busy working on the demo so I haven't had time to check up on it. (Who knows, it could be done by the time the demo comes out)


So please stop asking me questions, I want this demo to be amazing, and it doesn't help when I have to sift through 50 million emails whining at me. :hmph:

Yeah, I figured that it wouldn't come out on the 31st. I dunno why, but for some reason I just had doubt... I can wait. It'll really be worth it!

Some people just can't wait. Cleod has a life too, he is doing his best, Cleod will realease it when he thinks everything is OK, poor Cleod, it's hard to make a flash and LOTS of people are emailing him and saying when it will be ready.
