Clams Progress - Page 10

Jim Sachs · 04-15-2009, 12:29 AM

I'll probably redo the fish models next, but after that there are two animated objects that I've been planning to add: a feather-duster worm and a sea apple.

You shouldn't have said that, Jim. - What's the betting that before the day is out, - some one will say... "I can't wait for...!"

Jav400 · 04-15-2009, 04:21 AM

Oh wow, I can't wait for the feather duster.

Now the suspense is gone.

loub516 · 04-15-2009, 04:29 AM

I can't wait for the sea apple!

Wizwad · 04-15-2009, 05:24 AM

I can't wait for the updated fish behaviour / textures!

Just to complete the set of 'can't wait for's!

cjmaddy · 04-15-2009, 06:48 AM

.... But you're all going to have to!

Jav400 · 04-15-2009, 07:45 AM

It's a wonder that Jim puts up with any of us.

MadBob · 04-15-2009, 12:25 PM

Money maybe?

Jim Sachs · 04-15-2009, 12:34 PM

Money? I got all the money you guys are willing to part with about a decade ago

patscarr · 04-15-2009, 01:11 PM

Mikey242 · 04-15-2009, 01:25 PM

Looking forward to the new models.

Ouch - And I even registered v3 for my 85 year old dad.

Not necessarily.

Like some others here, in spite of your earlier generous offer, I just bought an upgrade to V3. I know $9.95 won't go far, but I've already got more than my money's worth from this program.

Thanks for the great work, Jim.

Not entirely true... I suspect others may have done the same as me. I bought a new license at full price for MA3. I think it is inexpensive at 19.95 and well worth supporting your ongoing endeavors.

Jim Sachs · 04-15-2009, 04:21 PM

Greatly appreciated. Maybe I'll work on a surprise for you guys.

troyb · 04-15-2009, 05:31 PM

I bought 3 copys my self 1 for my mother of 84 years 1 for my sister inlaw and one for my self and have the money for you when the creature packs are ready

Exactly what (and why) I did a few weeks ago when I purchased a new laptop (my desktop was dying a very s l o w death).

I think MA3 is pretty awesome as it now stands but I must admit that I'm really looking forward to it's gradual improvements, changes & additions as time goes by.

iMark · 04-16-2009, 07:12 AM

well, the clams are really quite splendid...thank you, Jim...it makes the anticipation level for everything else greater..

I thought the $9.95 upgrade price was a deal...considering the years and amount of enjoyment that we got out of MA and MA2...this is a whole new beast..I look forward to it's continued developement...

pvernam · 04-17-2009, 06:57 AM

Great work on the clams! I like them a lot.

Jim: Is there a plan to ever animate the anemone at the far right of the tank (and perhaps make the clownfish reside there)? I expect that would be a horrendous amount of work but it would be unbelievably cool. (I'm just curious -- not trying to add more tasks to your already over-flowing plate.)
