Take it easy old chap. I can play UV for the next 10 years! Its so darn good. If the crew behind WitP reads this then please take your time to make this game perfect. UV is so darn good that I will not complain if you delay this product.

What makes you think they're not! :rolleyes:

Would you like the digital pictures of the scars? ;)

Work on WITP has been in full swing since before UV went gold.

Status: offline 		And as the engine is already done, and I guess, the database, too, it will not take THAT long to get WitP going. :)

I guess that the most problematic thing right now is not so much the new features, but to project everything onto the new, much larger scale while retaining the game balance.

Status: offline 		I can provide no prognostications on how much longer things will take. I only know that based on the frequency of updates to the game files, Gary and Rich are obviously putting in a lot of time on the game.

For myself, you have seen some shots of the alpha map that we are using for development purposes. It obviously needed alot of work. It is progressing - slowly - at over 5000x6000 pixels it's a monster. Right now we're working on putting in the transportation network, the rivers and all the place names - as well as touching up the terrain types and textures (OZ may be green, but AUS isn't any longer). Of course, all of these changes have to be synchronized with the map database...

So, yes, there is a lot to be done even before trying to tune an balance the whole affair. It will be worth the wait.

Status: offline 		I'm still waiting for my danged UV to ship, and I want to play the crap out of it. So, it's ok with me if WitP is another 6-12 months away.

If I was in charge during WWII, we might be having this conversation in Japanese:D

UV is awsome. I'm looking forward to WITP!

Status: offline 		How ever long it takes witp has big shoes to fill. just look at pacwar that game is over ten years old and still has a strong group of loyal followers that work hard to keep a great game great. i can only hope that witp can fill these shoes and last as long as pacwar. so take all the time you need and make it great thanks
