Sounds great, looking forward to testing STEP 2 release

For what it's worth, I'd be in favor of you releasing GB2 Deluxe prior to the release of GB3. For one thing, it could respark the community in the run up to GB3's release. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck in the development phase I enjoy whatever updates you can give us.

Let me second, third, or whatever the idea of releasing of GB2 Deluxamundo! I've always loved that game and I've been waiting for a newer version of it. So please, I'm jonesing here!!!

I agree.

releasing GB2D before GB3 would be a great build up to the big release.

Like everyone keeps saying about these games, I can't wait.

but I guess I'll have to if we're to gt a game that's up to your standards of excellence.

The GB2 Deluxe version is not 100% finished and will get some of the code over from the new GB3 core when its done.
GB2 deluxe will probraly not be released before GB3, but could be that I release it to the list of people that donated to GB2 before the main release.

But do not donate to GB2 just to be on that list of people. The changes to GB2 is not that great compared to the original GB2. My advice is to wait for GB3 instead

Just an update...
At then moment im doing most of the interface changes i will post screens when the interface is a bit more complete.

This will be interesting! Looking forward to those screens...

Yep,

Can't wait for those screens

Thanks

I agree with what others have said about releasing it before because I don't know how I would get enough of both games. But it looks and sounds great so far! Can we get a feature list, if possible?

I'd like to see that too. It'd be great to see what you're planning to put into the game and save time having ppl suggest things you are already doing anyways. That way we can focus our efforts on idea that are not currently in but could enhance the game.

Good idea. I will compile a list of planned features when i get the time for it.

Thank you! I will be looking forward to that list!

update the progress and added a Feature list for GB3, find it here http://z11.invisionfree.com/VelociGames/in...p?showtopic=127

Thanks for the list! I'm sure it will be helpful for giving better feedback.

I'm glad to see that step 2 and 3 are both in progress. Please keep us updated!
