Sharks

Well, I realize this is a Goldfish Aquarium forum, but since there are no official places to post I will post it here. Just what dictionary does Prolific use when they hint at "soon" concerning the Shark tank? Perhaps the website should say "at some time in the future" because in my opinion soon delivers a certain conotation that hints at being "reasonable".

Diver,
We've had to learn to be patient.

...... Soon, - means. ..... eventually, - perhaps! - or, in the future, - may be!

But it is getting closer, - trust me!

Soon can't mean 6 months?

Then again, it may continue to say "Coming Soon" for up to a year after the product's launch.

Sometimes soon is sooner than you think....

Soon is sooner...

Sorry, for the eternally confused among us, namely me, are we talking about Goldfish or Sharks here?

Or should I just shut up?

Diver was asking when sharks was released... BTW, about 40 minutes ago. it was off topic, but morgan runs a pretty helpfull site.

I just bought sharks after downloading the demo and liking it.
But at the end of the purchase process instead of recieving a key code I received this: stephen barackman is offline

Cleaned up this thread a bit.

All I can say is .....Wow! One thing I notice is the way the sharks in the front (the ones swimming in the foreground) change from time to time! Its like a living entity instead of pre-programmed patterns. One would expect a certain number of sharks in the foreground and would change every time you pressed the space bar and went back in the program, but this is so realistic the way every 2 to 4 mins the sharks swimming in the foreground changes.

Great Job! 'course one shark actually swam through the reef, but these bugs will work themselves out. The sound this gives off, well I am not quite sure of this...sounds like a plane flying over head instead of something in nature............I am a diver, and I have not heard anything like this. Huum, I suppose I am on the inside and am looking through a window in a humongous shark tank and the sound is something from the inside of the building I am in, right?

Diver: Glad you appreciate our efferts. Keep in mind that sharks is still beta, and we are going to make significant improvements too it before we turn it to version 1.0. Read all about it in the forum:

The sounds is just not done yet. We will be improving it. I am a diver as well, and the sound and art textures will all be improved.
