The Past, Present and Future of SJ on September 26th 2000

Past:

"we all walk the long road." These two years since the release of SJ2 have been colored with a rainbow of un-anticipated turns and twists; first, the totally unexpected success of the game and the unthinkable amount of registrees, then work on a new version, an un-realistic schedule, loads of empty promises, bad estimations, high expectations and even a worthy competitor. :)

It's been crazy, but I'm really happy and proud to have made it this far.

Present:

"and the wind keeps roaring." SJ3 will be released on October 1st, which is a Sunday. I'll probably put the game up and available for download right at midnight along with the new web pages. You'll be shown where, don't worry.

Right now, there's still a bunch of stuff I have to take care of; I hope the extensive beta-testing has been done with care and no bugs arise after the release causing a mess. Also, pre-ordering the game will be totally possible, this allows you to receive Your Registered Version of the game right on October 1st; more info on this later on; all in all, registering will follow the same pattern as in SJ2, same cheap-o price and same mode of operation. This time around registering in Norway and Slovenia will be super easy thanks to two SJ3 Foreign Affiliates! Whoa, progress!

Future:

"i have wished for so long." I sincerely hope that you guys will enjoy the new version; I've received some feedback that the game - even the new version - doesn't match up to the high standards of its competitors, especially when it comes to graphics and overall glamour. That is totally true in most ways. I feel at ease as I can truly state that I've made SJ3 to the extent of my capabilities. If it's not good enough and doesn't look as good as the other games on the market; what can I do? I've done my best and that's the most one could ask for I guess. (well, ok, I could've added a couple more features here and there but then the game would have never been released let me tell you) That's it, we'll all be wiser in a few days; when finally there's more game - less talk.

Well, anyways, thanks a million for your patience.

Feel absolutely free to mail me with whatever comments or suggestions you may have.
