Some people might have noticed that Gamestudio development appeared a little slow in the last 6 weeks, as there were only a few new features for the beta version. The reason is not the work on the new WED, but mostly a new project.

The development started in December, and the main part is now done. Development will go on, but won't need much resources anymore. So the focus can now be on Gamestudio again. The next steps for the immediate future will be OpenAL, new PhysX features, and new templates.

The new Gamestudio project, with name "Dagobert", is scheduled for release by the end of this year. It's a massive multiplayer application, even more massive than "Utopia", but it's not a game. And most important, funding and payment are guaranteed this time .
