Whats the skinny on FT2 coming anytime soon? And are there any upgrades available to 1?

There is only one Fish Tycoon, which is available for Windows PC, Palm and Pocket PC. LDW is working on a Mac version, which will be basically the same as what's already available for the other platforms, scheduled for release this Spring. There are no other updates or versions of Fish Tycoon available at this time.

Thanks Barbara - they need to raise some salaries and get this show on the road!! (Wonder if we could take up a collection?)

Lol

No but I smootched my Silky Snooper!

We will do a Fish Tycoon 2. I won't give an estimate on when just yet, but what we are doing presently is saving up all the good ideas (mostly from you guys!!) for FT2, and the only updates to FT1 will be things that are necessary like bug fixes.

I think I need a bug chaser...something is making my game stumble and pause. I checked to see what else might be running but with the memory this thing has, there shouldnt be a problem.

Although memory can be a factor on some PCs, it's not usually the cause of the behavior that you describe. Fish Tycoon is designed to give priority to pretty much any other application that's running, whether it's in foreground or background mode - even system processes. So the 'stumbling and pausing' that you sometimes see is not a bug in the program, but a result of Fish Tycoon yielding priority to another application or process. It was an implementation decision that was made in order to keep Fish Tycoon from affecting system and other application performance, and to allow people to run FT as more or less a 'background' application (since its real-time design doesn't require constant attention to make progress in the game).

Thanks Barbara; it makes me feel better to know its not in the game and also about the priority issue - there are some other programs (like virus and anti-spy) that I worried about interfering with.
