Hi everybody,
This is sort of a reply to the lengthy threads about it this week, so I will start with: I assure you that 2.0 is being released this month!
We did want to follow up with more details (maybe the exact release date, pricing, details of the Xfrog plant offerings etc.), but we've had a lot to discuss and finalise during the last 2 weeks. During that time I did post a list of new features you can expect. A lot can happen here on the forums in just a few days, but these are days that we are busy working on as much as possible in the run up to the release. I have also been unsually busy with non-Terragen stuff which is an unfortunate coincidence. Some of the things we said about posting updates "next week" have had to change. But there is no change to the fact that we are releasing Terragen 2.0 this month, and we made sure of that before we started talking about it.
Another reason we're being a little bit quiet about things is for competitive reasons. Obviously anything posted here is completely public, but there are different levels of publicity, so I can let you know here that the release is happening.
I can't speak for all of Xfrog's statements on this forum, but in the course of our discussions with Stewart from Xfrog some things have had to be amended which have meant they couldn't release those free plants "next week". We were still working on the details when Stewart said that. Some free plants may still be available - please be patient and we'll tell you when things are ready.
Someone floated the idea/joke that Planetside might be bought by Xfrog? No. We're not being bought by anyone just yet and have no plans in that direction.
Matt
