Ok,
Glad to hear from someone official. Great job on what I've seen so far. Sorry to hear about your studio getting shut down. Return to Na Pali was cool too... well except for the acid-spitting spiders... I'm not a major fan of spiders.
Just out of curiousity... Does the full version of XMP run better than the demo version (especially after this patch)? It seems to run a lil choppy on my system (1.4 ghz Athlon T-Bird, 768 mb PC 133 SDRAM, Radeon 9600XT, Windows 2000, DX9). Also, I saw something in the changelog about skin detail accidentally being controlled by the World Detail setting in the previous version, is this the case in the demo too? I thought I noticed something like that when playing & tweaking this afternoon.
Thanks again for the reply. I hope you guys and the fans/modders continue to keep this going as long as possible. Breath of fresh air for sure!
