Andrew- We do all our Director development in-house, though we may farm out some QA work until we can build some staff in that dept. Pricing and marketing are "black arts" best left to those that understand 'em Bill Irvine

Andrew- The comic CD is not yet released, we're in "late BETA" stage and looking into marketing options. However, we have quite a few orders from comic book collectors for a special signature edition, s'pose that's a good sign It'll be priced at $19.95, where entertainment products should be. Our…

The Director 3DO player has just been released from the information I have. I've spoken with someone involved in the BETA testing of the software, and while he could not go into specifics because of his BETA agreement, he did indicate he's sold on using Director for his commercial 3DO…

Ron- We use Macromedia Director for our authoring needs. It offers binary file compatibility between Mac, Windows, and 3DO. Since Director and most all other authoring systems are complicated pieces of software (and expensive ) they require a serious time investment to learn and master. So it's best for us…

Mr Challeron- Yes, your e-mail was full of "more vitriolic" narrow assumptions. I decided to post a message in this forum because I respect the art many fine artists have creating on the Amiga platform. Just because I cannot create cross platfrom MM for this machine, should I ignore it's…

I'm sorry if this has caused discomfort. However, there is no authoring tool we can use which allows cross platfrom binary file compatibility between Amiga, Mac and Windows. Once we bring this effort to the WWW, we must also ignore the UNIX platform for the same reasons. Some of our…
