Hi Jim!
First of all, let me tell you how much I love your marine tank. It's simply the awesomest ... Now, I really can't wait to get my hands on the freshwater tank, but I also wanted to ask you this: hev you ever thought about a goldfish tank? Or at least, to have them among your freshwater fish list? Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!!???? |

starved for news?
At one time I used to check this forum daily. After months of no updates or even hints at release dates, I visited once a week.
...Now you're lucky if I come here once a month. Look at the posts... NO ONE is coming, let alone posting here anymore. WHY? No friggin' updates, creature packages or ANY news regarding what we all thought this screamscreen was going to do. I can't remember when there was even talk about people having fun around here... fun, anticipation, hope, etc. It's like a bad date, or perhaps a marriage that went sour. SO many promises unfulfilled... You know, why don't you just close down this forum if there is no reason to have it anymore? They can go to prolific for tech support. Everytime I've visited here over the last (almost a) YEAR, it's been nothing, nothing, and more nothing... what a downer to visit this forum now... a big darn downer. Sheech. What a crock this has become. |

just some guy,
It's hard to argue with your sentiments. I have received similar e-mails from many others. Forum visitation is down 91% from February. People just don't come here any more. By the time Jim introduces another update, I fear we'll have a hard time just contacting all of them as they don't visit the forum and/or their e-mail addresses will have changed. ![]()

hey, I'm checking the forum daily
![]() ![]() BUT imho, there would be some fresh air in the forum if Jim could give us something to look at. Maybe a screenshot, maybe a message from time to time... it doesn't take too much time to write something like "I'm improving XXXXXXXX" or "I had a problem with XXXX and I'm trying to solve it".... darn, I would be happy to see even a picture of Jim with the equipment he's working with at the moment ![]()

I agree. If no one is talking about your product it doesn't exist.

I've been feeling like Just Some Guy, but this site is still in my daily rotation.
But the its disheartening to consider that the next release will be a whole new product and not an improvement to the one I already bought. Especially after so much time.

I agree with the others.
While I visit the forum at least once a day (although I usually just lurk in the shadows and read the new threads) there really hasn't been that much in the way of news around here. I know Jim has his hands full and (last I heard) was suffering from a bout of artist's block, it would be nice to hear what he's up to. The only way to keep this forum alive, active, and happy is to get regular updates and teases from Jim.

Patience guys, patience...
Mayby Jim wants to introduce his upcoming masterpiece with a big bang! Like "It's done. Please download the freshwater demo at serenescreen.com". Would be great. |

Well Jim suggested that the Freshwater Aquarium would be a ~45 day project. It's been ~200 days. That's a mean writer's block.
![]() I think some more fish for the Saltwater would hold me over. How bout you guys?

Sure, sure, we all know that's the way Jim wants to do it, but I have to agree with just some guy and the others on this one. I still come and check the board once or twice a week, but it is discouraging when there are no posts or new news from Jim. Now he's teasing us with a possible goldfish screensaver or something, I'm still not sure 'cause he only teased us with some secret hint, and we are all still waiting for 3d backgrounds, creature packs, and the freshwater saver. Jim, if you want to make your millions while your still alive to enjoy it and make your movie, you've got to hire some extra help and get these projects done.

Yes, Patscarr - it is a bad case of artists block, the worst I've ever had. Also, I'm in full panic mode trying to get a roof on my house before the rain hits. Had a rain scare yesterday, but it stopped after a half-hour. A lot of wet wood and equipment, but no real damage.
