And does anybody has a guess about how much it'll cost us?

For all you who didn't notice, I actually just updated the webpage with the new screenshots and the modifications we made to the story (yes I bet you noticed that there was a slightly different story in the interview than on the webpage). Hope that will keep you live a little bit longer...<br><br>As for pricing...it will be revealed in a not too long time.<br><br>I wonder which will be first. If 999 returns I guess PM2 goes up in an instant. But noone knows when that will happen...

Size will be a couple of megabytes. I guess around 5-7 megabytes, which is way below of what we had counted on at first. Nice compression of our file libraries made that possible though. Preliminary free program memory requirement will be around 7-9 megabytes (probably 8 mb).

Well, Fredrik, I'm for sure will be waiting. But please don't be mean to us and don't prolong the agony for too long.<br>;)

Please prolong the agony for as long as it takes.  I do NOT want a rushed game to meet a deadline.  We dont need another [couldve been better] game like that for the PPC.

I'd say it might come out by the end of the month or the first week of september, i really don't want to rush things up, i don't want argentum to be YET another great looking game but dead boring, so hate me if you want, but i am the main reason why you guys or even reviewers don't have a demo of Argentum, so i promise you this, the game will be fun no matter how long it takes, if 3 more weeks or 2 more months. I am not in a hurry to start selling it, it's already been too much work to waste it in a game that is boring and unbalanced.<br><br>

Wow with all the work you guys are putting into this.. Have you ever thought about releasing it for a PC with all the work your putting into it.. you prob could get alot more fans and money that way.. but i also like the idea of it staying exclusive to Pocket Pc. Even to have it run in a window that you could play with and then pause it and talk on Icq.. you know.. Easy to do other thing while playing this amazing game.. I know you can do this with a Pocket emulator but it would still be cool and you rake in the money! and for no extra work!<br><br>Just a sugestion <br><br>Thanks Tom

One of the great things about Argentum (in my modest opinion, anyway) is that it's for PPC ONLY. I don't know, it's more exclusive and desirable that way. But if you resleased to the PC, I'm sure you would make more money. And of course would have some really serious competetion with Blizzard, Westwood et al.
