Welcome to the forums Jeff.

That question in and of itself is a difficult one to answer. Jim usually never gives time dates for that very reason. Right now MA3 is only an Alpha, which basically means there is alot left to go before release. Jim has completed probably 90% of the 3D corals etc., but; there are no settings options to the program yet, no real collision detection - which must be re-written because of the new items in the tank, no movement to any of those new corals yet, etc etc.

So while there has been tons of progress made and Jim now has something actually running, there is still alot left to do. As to a time frame before a Beta gets to testers, there is no real way to answer that question. It depends on too many different things. As to a time frame after a Beta gets to testers, that depends on problems found and what it takes to fix them. It could be several weeks, or longer, depending on how complex any problems found are.................
