Based on last night's schedule meeting the announcement will be in the first week or two in October. A bit of a delay, but it will be good news. [8D]

The news is there is movement. Whenever Matrix decides to tell you just how much movement is up to them.

Like a busy airport, we are stuck on the tarmac waiting for the tower to clear us. I know Matrix has a good number of games in the queue ahead of us. I guess I can say we are currently slated for a post Christmas release, but I can't say exactly when.

As soon as we know more so will you. [8D]

FPG2 is in intensive development but we are not quite ready to announce it yet. I can hardly wait to start pumping out screen shots and such but that would still be a touch premature to do right now.

The FPG2 engine is a near total rewrite of the FPG engine and we will take it to the Middle East immediately after FPG2 is released. There is a ton of research from the Middle East that I want to use.

We have worked extremely hard on this game and want it to be the best possible when it is released. We plan to support it and enhance for a long, long time to come too. Just a little more patience please and I think you will be really happy.

Yes, I was working on FPME for years and it was going to be the next one out. Back in the spring though I evaluated it and just didn't think it was worth continuing with as is. Some early design decisions came back to haunt me, scope creep was a huge problem, and I was sick to death of all things Middle East as well.

What I did was to sit down in April/May and draw up a list of key things to change so the project would be reinvigorated and finally ship. That has worked out pretty well for us. Mad Russian joined the team when we switched back to NATO/WP and his help has made all the difference.

We will follow up with a Middle East edition as quickly as we can as we have all the data for it. The hard part - as always - will be the maps and scenarios.

Thx for the in depth reply, appreciate it. I'll be picking up FPG during the sale and giving it a go.

I, for one, will buy FPG2 as soon as it is out. FPG1 was/is a great game. So how does FPG2 differ? Just curious.
