Now they're shooting for sometime this year.

@Wolfie: I read over the contract and sent you what you asked for, I also sent a you separate email with some requests and general information that I'd like you to pass on to them - one thing in particular could make their job a lot easier when they're matching music to levels.  You can just forward them my email if you want, to make things less complicated.

@Everyone: We finally recieved the agreement letter from Interplay.  Needless to say I'm excited and I think the others are too - probably moreso than me considering they submitted levels - and in one case levels and songs.  You should be excited now too :P.
There was a statement near the beginning of the letter that implied Interplay is planning to do something with D2 as well - in the legal agreement the word 'Descent' is meant to stand for both D1 and D2.  Very interesting.  There was no mention of D3, but that doesn't mean anything - even if they were planning something they wouldn't have bothered in this agreement because the levels as they are would be unusable in D3.
Of course, they may have written the D2 part in "just in case" they decide to do something in the future.
But my theory is more exciting.

Anyway, I wonder if this means that the song that I intended to be the theme for the Thiefbot would be the official theme of the thiefbot now.
There was nothing about that in the letter.  Not that anyone asked.

well the letter has been sent off. Let's hope all things turned out okay such as:
- the crashing bug in level 25 - fixed hopefully
- all songs matched up to their proper levels
- due credit given to those involved

We'll just have to wait and see.

They'll do that one at least, the last thing interplay wants is to be sued.

No.

I'm thinking NUMBERZero may have declared victory too soon...

Gotcha ;P

not a word, not one peep since I turned in the agreement letter. Not sure what's going to happen, honestly.

Well, now that the agreement letter has been turned in, they may consider it a done deal now, and have nothing left to say.

Granted, though, that's not really that polite... :P

Take it from someone who works in software development (me):

Development moves in bursts, with intermittent delays and occasional flurries of forward movement.  It's just how it goes.  Don't get too high or low about it.  :)
