Here is this week's update... getting nervous :p

Ten days...

Ten days. Really not much time left now. This is the end run now, the part we all hate :-P. Right before every release, there comes that point where we run around in circles yelling "we're not gonna make it!". Then, everything slides into place, and... we make it. But it's always a tense few days right until the release :-P.

The great news (and this is the kind of news I've been wanting to announce for years), is that this week, Tempest has delivered the very last remaining Standoff voiceovers. Quarto threw them into the game right away, and... well, we're done with voiceovers. The final grand total ended up being a little bigger than I mentioned before - we've got 751 lines in Episode 5, and a grand, grand final total of 3,015 lines. It is so damned great to be done with that stuff... and just check out that progress chart.

Meanwhile, music is also progressing - in fact, we should be receiving the last major pieces in a few hours. After that, there will still be a few sequences left, but nothing Michael can't handle. I hope :). And the rest of us? We've still got a bit left to do as well... :-P

I sort of feel like Bondarevsky on the way to Earth....we are going to cut it close...but in the end of course we'll save the day (well minus those dozen or so AM missiles that got through :p )
 
Well if we keep the pace of this weekend through the final days (something close to 100 Bugzilla emails going around) I have very few worries about us making the deadline...granted the final package will probably be ready right as the CIC does its bday updates :p
