Thanks, Ladycfii.

Hmm. Only 45% at the moment. Definitely not coming out by the end of March.

Rainbowfish, I was dumbstruck when I heard that there is a seahorse in FT. I thought I've missed it all these times. Only after enquiring, then I found out that it's in Windows version.

The dev team here is pretty responsive. But I guess they can't tell you something they dunno or not sure of themselves.

Hmmm...I really am curious of what extras did they put in for VS for Windows. I have yet to install and play FT for Windows. Starting a new game always demands a lot of attention. I don't want it to distract me when I work. To be honest, I have only played 1 FT game on my Palm so far. After finding all the Magic Fishes, I have paused the game and have yet to embark on a new game.

LOL. Well, I dunno about the seahorse - I've played two games so far, and just started a third game yesterday. In the first game, I got the seahorse. In the second game, I didn't get one, to see what difference it made. I don't know about the others, but it did zilch in my games. I mean, I didn't see any difference in the life span of third-level hybrids or second-level hybrids, for that matter. It probably works best in level one, as seeing its ability is environmental improvement, but who can afford it in level one??? LOL!

Yes, there's that. LOL. I wonder if the devs would tell us what component they're working on now? And which platform? I understand they're doing both Windows and Mac versions at the same time...

LOL. Yes, it's distracting. However, the first few hours are actually boring... it takes two hours for the baby fish to develop into adults, and I only have to feed them twice in that time span. Suffice it to say, I get a lot of homework done.

At the moment, I'm doing a little bit of, ah, research. In my second game, I'm working on all possible genera crossing, and I'm actually almost done. I only have the bananafish and the quicksilver generas left to do. In my new game, I'm currently researching level two enviro, and breeding goldbulb hybrids like crazy. I set the price at such a point where they do sell, but one gotta be patient about the yelling customers. lol.

hey you know what i checked the develment progress for village sim on dec 5 and its still the same when are you going to work on it again
sorry if i missed spelled some wrds am only 10

It's 55% now! We have huge traction. Expect that number to move steadily.

Regarding extras in Village Sim for Windows/Mac: Yes, there will be new content.

Hmm...Seahorse is useless when you've done your environment research to its max? So do you mean it's useful in Level 1 and 2 only? And when you buy the Seahorse, does it appear in both tanks or just one tank? If it costs a bomb and can only be used at 1 tank at a time, then might as well invest the $ in environment research.

I see you're FT lover and fan. Good for you! Good for me too cuz I know who to ask for tips when I start playing FT for Windows.

I think the reason why FT for Windows will distract me is I am a nervous & impatience person, so I check it very often. Only when I have third levels in features that ensure survivals then do I become more relax and only check it once in a while. Same for PT and VS. It's just how am I as a person.

Well, Arthur himself has replied abt the progress. So probably by June, VS for Windows will be available?! Or am I too positive/ naive?

Today I finished the medium difficulty game of Village Sim. My first experience with the game got me about half way through when my Palm battery took a digger. Definitely worth playing this one, especially if you like sim games. I found that I got to know my people and their abilities while unlocking the mysteries of the island. There are many facets to the game and I would be curious what the game is like on a PC or Mac, as I have a Palm version.

Definitely addicting....

I wouldn't say it's useless in level three. I only say that I see nothing advantageous to having a seahorse.

I don't know if it'd help in level one - I always pour any spare cash into research *shrug* so I've never had a seahorse in level one.

It only appears in one tank at a time, yes, and you can't buy another seahorse, so ... yeah. I'd suggest getting the research first.

LOL. Flattery will always get you some help.

LOL. I was that way too with FT at first (impatient and nervous), but as I learned the game and how it played, I got pretty confident and was able to leave it be for a while... I usually run it in the background on my computer or minimize it and do other stuff. Check on it every half hour or so. If I'm watching a TV show, I tend to shove it on screensaver so I can keep a eye on my fishies. lol.

Too positive? I'm thinking they'll have it done by April's end or May.

I hope.

Then it will be Arthur's last day of work, and our first day of joy.

Gotta agree with that!
