About that surprise....
 
Jim
Back on the 15th of April you mentioned you were working on a surprise for us guys.. How is that coming? By any chance was the surprise for the "guys" a mothers day thing......... which is tomorrow incidentally :D

In any case... Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers :TU:

Nicki 05-09-2009 01:40 PM

My guess is that it's a cockatoo waspfish .





Just kidding .

Working on on it.

Wizwad 05-10-2009 06:09 AM

Whaleshark. Definitely a whaleshark. Everyone's gonna have to get a MUCH bigger monitor.

Sorry Ralph, but you appear to have posted in the wrong forums.

The rest???? ..... How many eyes have you got! :D

Well... I suppose I could always break out the projector and hang up the 100" screen again... Only problem with that is that it's hard to see during the daytime. Works great when it's dark out though!

Wizwad 05-10-2009 12:46 PM

Now that sounds like a plan! :TU:

patscarr 05-19-2009 05:25 AM

We're still waiting patiently, Jim. Maybe a beta release today?

Jim Sachs 05-19-2009 09:02 AM

Maybe. I hit a minor glitch, but this morning I woke up with an idea of how to solve it.

Surferminn 05-19-2009 09:06 AM

Alrighty! :TU:

rctneil 05-19-2009 09:29 AM

Can't wait, will be keeping an eager eye on the forum this evening!

Jav400 05-19-2009 09:30 AM

I'm betting on either a sea apple or a feather duster.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a sea urchin. Ye olde porcupine of the deep! :)

rctneil 05-19-2009 10:21 AM

I still am after a Cleaner Shrimp!

Would sooo love one of those wandering around the tank!

Jav400 05-19-2009 10:31 AM

I doubt it will be anything like a shrimp. That one is probably going to be fairly complex and take some time to get the 3D model correct starting from scratch. As far as I know, Jim hasn't started on anything like that yet.

Jim Sachs 05-19-2009 10:42 AM

A Cleaner Shrimp would be a major project, so it would have to be part of a Creature Pack.

rctneil 05-19-2009 11:51 AM

You can do it Jim!!!!!

henemly 05-19-2009 03:24 PM

Maybe it's....

(alright, in the next 5 years then)

Jim Sachs 05-19-2009 05:09 PM

I'll be darned - he really does look like his avatar. My apologies for any prior offence. Take care of that sunburn, though.

henemly 05-19-2009 06:19 PM

Since it's hittin a hundred in Hiko now, 5 min. and yer done.
but what about the :drool:saltwater horse:drool: in ma3, Jim?

Jav400 05-19-2009 06:30 PM

All those types of creatures won't be done until later on. Each one will have to be created in 3D totally from scratch. It will be a time consuming process, and I'm sure Jim has other things he wants to implement first.

Those type creatures will be made available in the creature packs offered later.

Jim Sachs 05-19-2009 07:07 PM

Yeah, what he said. A seahorse is one of the easier critters, so it will almost certainly be in the first Creature Pack.

Dathomir 05-21-2009 10:27 AM

So the creature pack will be released when exactly? :D

Not that we're impatient in any way of course ;)

henemly 05-21-2009 10:37 AM

From info off this board, I'd guess at least a year, maybe 3.

jleslie 05-21-2009 11:14 AM

An optimist :-)

Jim Sachs 05-21-2009 11:41 AM

I don't do time estimates. There's no upside to it.
I'm having enough trouble with the simple little surprise creature I'm working on.

Jav400 05-21-2009 12:15 PM

Creature huh??

OK if that's the case I might change my guess to be a nudibranch.

Dreamster 05-21-2009 12:46 PM

New creature? I thought the fish being overhauled was next on the agenda!

Overlord 05-21-2009 12:55 PM

Ok, I'll take a wild guess. It's an electric eel with Jim's name flashing across the side of the creature.

cohiba420 05-21-2009 01:37 PM

hahahhahaha!
I have this image of a message flashing on and off in neon across the body of the eel....


"eat. at. jims."

Overlord 05-21-2009 01:49 PM

Yeah, but there is only one small glitch. You will need one of the new i7 core cpu's to be able to run it. Otherwise it could possibly reverse the magnetic poles of the earth and cause cataclysmic results!

Marian Nichols 05-21-2009 02:44 PM

Oh heaven forbid! :lol:

Mith 05-21-2009 09:42 PM

I broke into Jim's secret folder and found the surprise....
