The Past, Present and Future of SJ on August 7th 2000

Past:

Yes, I'm back, and with a vengeance. The days are getting shorter and the ski jumping season (computer simulated and real life) is starting to warm up. I had a wonderful five weeks on the road (or should I say on the rail) around Europe; many thanks to Italy, France and Spain for providing great weather and excellent food.

Present:

Presently I am at home writing a whatsup.html file. I feel ok.

Oh, you probably want to know what's up with the new version... The situation on August 7th 2000 is: it's almost done. I'm still waiting for a few translations and more importantly the much anticipated SJ3 Partnership Deals are not progressing in the expected manner. This is delaying the release of the game, since I want to have everything absolutely finished until I release the game to the public in large.

Future:

I will announce the exact release date of Ski Jump International v3 as soon as I get these couple of things mentioned in the previous chapter in order. This should take a few weeks at the most, so add a little one week super-duper-intensive testing session to those few weeks and you'll have a good estimate on when the next generation will be out. Ok, that's it, enjoy the rest of the summer, it'll get busy in September, be prepared.

Thanks a million for your patience, good things come to those who wait. :)

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