A7, Engine Updates, Big Surprises: At this time, their isn't any plans to release a big "bomb shell" at the expo. We are still working on A6 and A7 is nowhere to be seen at this moment. We may be showing off the beta version of the engine but we will not rush a feature just to try to wow the crowd (or hold something back from you to build suspense).
Remember most of the people at the show probably haven't seen 3DGameStudio. In past shows, people I talked to had heard of 3DGS, but hadn't seen it. Just having the engine there on display with the tools, demos, and released products will be a huge bombshell for them.
I guess we have to wait a bit longer for anything that can truly be called an A7 engine, right? Any rough estimates on a release or would we be talking about several years? Is there any guarantee that there will be an A7??

As a sort of reward there'll be a little contest: We'll draw lots among all who contribute boxes, videos, or something else to our GDC presentation. Two of them will get a free upgrade of their edition to the next GameStudio generation, A7, when it comes out.
So I guess it will come out then, when it's done...
Cheers
