Do you have a list of things you're working through? Would be great to see, what you're working on and what your next steps are

Finished among a lot of other things the following:

- Dual Quaternion skinning: allows for volume preservation when skin is bended over larger angles.
- Better shadow mapping: allows for shadow from different light sources.
- Automatic occlusion culling: scenes do now have automatic occlusion culling. Things allows to not render objects when they are behind other larger objects.
- Better lighting: You can customize which lights affect an object, which light is used for shadowing, ambient etc.
- Almost finished the office scenes: Pretty happy with them
- Optimized collision detection. Physics now about 30% faster.
- Automatically triangulate meshes, so this does not have to be done in 3d software in advance.
- etc etc etc.

These are some of the elements that have been worked on in the last weeks.
Slowly but steadily progressing towards the final product.

Good to hear

Sounds like a good progress I just have enough knowledge about maths, physics and coding to appreciate it (if not enough to really understand it )
Thanks for the answer

Thanks for the update! Seems like great changes. I hope that you have time to post some new screens soon. :)

Good point

Is there a way for non backers to see the progress bar?

Well, there isn't exactly a progress bar. The progress is displayed like this... "DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS: 63%"

Non backers will only be able to view this progress percentage once version 3.0 is complete; everyone that upgrades or buys XStoryPlayer 3.0 will also get the account manager.

How would I upgrade at this stage? I already own the current version. Also how much is the upgrade cost?

Once version 3.0 is complete you will be able to download it by using the download url that you got in your email when you bought XStoryPlayer 2.1.
If you lost your download url then you can download the latest XStoryPlayer here, but you will still need to have your download-id to do so.

The upgrade cost depends on what's being upgraded...
It can be free or they can decide to re-price XStoryPlayer; if it costs more (which I think will be the case) you'll only have to pay the difference, since you already bought the first 2 stories.
