Here's what they've said about it and other things: o It's intended as a strictly arcade game. They don't consider it in any way to be a UU competitor. o The currently distributed shareware version was kept reasonably simple so that the total size would be reasonable for doing downloads from BBS's (where login times are often restricted). o The orderable installements will have more sound and bad guy types. o They are working on a new engine that they *say* is better than the one Origin uses for UU. o They're working on a race car game using fast 3d graphics (can't remeber if they said it will use the wolf engine or not). o I believe they said that they will be putting a modem/network feauture into future wolf3d (or maybe a different but similar game) for multiplayer. That's about all I can remember ... -edg-
