There is no smiley that can properly express my frustration.

I will be forced to them.

It's a big project, and Will Wright is something of a perfectionist. It'll be great.

And it gives Soren the chance to have real influence...

Yeah, I guess we could see it coming that it would be delayed again with Soren joining this late in the ballgame. It could take him 3-6 months to become familar with their code! (Maybe a month to familarize himeself with the important code that he'll be looking at, but he knows from experience that messing with a piece of code in one area can have unintended consequences. A certain stack/sub bug comes to mind.)

I'm saddened by the delay and worried that this could turn into a modern day Daikatana or Duke Nukem Forever or worse shelved.

But if things work out, I would say yes to the delay if it were to make the game awesomer.

Not all the news is bad: check out this video.
Spore is looking better than ever, the animation is now much more smooth.

Beautiful.

We want your pee Will Wright!
