Past:

Hey, here again. You know, summer's not the time to be sitting inside staring at a screen, right? I've been away from the home (and especially the computer) a lot travelling around and doing stuff. And a recent thunder-storm broke my modem (and my sound-card :( ) so I haven't had net access for a while. I am very sorry that I've been really slow in answering your mail and sending out registrations. Sorry!

Present:

I think I've been delaying the SJ3 project for too long now, and I'll start to work on it like a regular job from the beginning of next week. Promise. There's are a lot of cool stuff done already, but there's a WHOLE lot of stuff still to be done. It's starting to be a quite massive project for one man, especially if you look where I started off from. Funny how it's grown...

Future:

The plan is to have some sort of beta-testable version of SJ3 ready before September, so that the release of SJ3 could be around October. This time around the release date is carefully meditated and one of the main reasons SJ3 won't be out before next fall. Simply, summer is not a optimal time for releasing a winter sports game and so I'll wait for the fall when you guys will be spending more time indoors.

I've talked a lot about what the new version will have, so I'll just stop talking this time and you'll just have to wait and see... I'll try really hard to match your high expectations. There wouldn't be a SJ3 without you guys and your great support, so thank yourselves when the damn thing comes out. :)

Thanks a lot, feel absolutely free to mail me with whatever comments or suggestions you may have.
