This is the official word from Epic:We're going to move the cut-off date for Phase 3 to May 30, 2004 so that will give mod makers another month to make their mods UT2004 compatible and to take advantage of UT2004 features. We'll update the official contest site shortly to reflect this but feel free to spread the word.
The game is tracking to a mid-March release so hopefully that will give mod makers a good two+ months of having UT2004 in their hands which should be plenty. We'll make an effort to spend time with some mod-developer related IRC chats soon after UT2004 comes out.
In addition we will be setting aside two one-hour timeslots (at 1:30 and 2:30) for mod makers to come and chat with us at the Game Developer Conference (see www.gdconf.com/expo/) in San Jose, California on Friday March 26th. Thanks to -dp- for letting us know!
