I'm sorry you feel that way. But as I've said a couple of times before, I'm not going to debate our decision to implement animation again. We've made that choice, period. Over the last year, both PJ and I have had about a day effective programming time for DeleD a week (at most) and I think we're doing an OK job at implementing such new features and trying to fix existing bugs as well. Or in other words, we're doing what we can in the amount of time we have. You're entitled to your opinion but I really think you should accept things as they are now.

Bottom line: we're implementing animation and will solve the bugs you mentioned after that. I really hope you will accept that and move on.

If it's not clear: I have already moved on. I will not be paying to upgrade to 2.0.

That's your choice and you're 100% allowed to make that choice. Just allow us to make ours. Smile

Will there be any level editing improvements or will DeleD 2 more high-poly mesh modelling oriented? I use DeleD because of its outstanding level editing and csg features and will continue to do so. Anyway, im still with you... Smile

It's sad to hear you are leaving. DeleD is great for what it is. I own several different modeling apps, but always model in deled becouse it's so much simpler to use then the others. There are bugs in every app. With each upgrade of directX/OGL, and with each upgrade of deled, (or any app for that matter) there will be bug fixes and bugs made. The few bugs I've encountered, I've found ways to work around them. If my UV's get screwed up, I just reUV the object. It's not that difficult. (just tedious on large objects) I look forward to the next release.

you can UV anything in DeleD, you just need to spend some more time instead of pressing one lazy button!

It doesn't matter how good you can UV map in DeleD, if common operations like CSG or Optimize will screw up the mapping you've already built.

You make it seem as if we don't fix any bugs before adding new features. This isn't true, as you can see from each and every 1.x release post on this very forum. Just because we haven't addressed all issues yet, doesn't mean we don't address issues. Based on existing bug reports, we just think the application is stable enough for us to implement the next big features.

I have said it many times before: we choose to add animation (+ a secret feature) in 2008 because many people want it to be part of DeleD. Any existing flaw (whether it is in workflow or a real bug) will be handled after that, just like we handled bugs before adding animation.

It's too bad you can't accept the decisions we've made. You've made your point over and over again and so have we. It's really useless continuing this conversation because it's just a repetition of things already said, so I will close the topic now.
