TSE Roadmap is missing sound?

I can't see Sound anywhere on that roadmap. I can't for the life of me think that GG would plan it AFTER map2dif overhaul :)

Getting the rendering code done is the highest GG priority. After that, the priority is making the tool chain as good as it can be.
TSE is not meant for front line game development yet. That has been clear from the start. If bringing up sounds is very high on your priority list, then you have all you need to do it. A diff between TGE and TSE should allow you to do what you need to bring up the sounds.
This message probably sounds harsher than I mean it to be. What I am really saying is trust us. We know how to develop engines and games, but we need to keep the runway clear for Brian and crew to do things way they see fit.

This is the problem with roadmaps. Riders asking "are we there yet?" Or backseat drivers questioning our priorities. Brian put a lot of thought into the roadmap. However, things WILL change and some may not even be done. In any case, the roadmap was not put up as something to "vote" on, but, instead, to be informative and let you know what we will be working on.Getting the rendering code done is the highest GG priority.

@Jeff Tunnel: You misunderstood. I was merely asking why it wasn't on the list. Although I don't know what "chaining" means, this clears up the priority question :)Thanks.

Maybe this is the language thing that we discussed on email, but the way you asked it was far from "merely asking why it wasn't on the list." "I can't for the life of me", coupled with the all caps AFTER, combined with the "What's going on" pretty much adds up to "how could you be
so dumb?" So, I responded, not so much to answer your question, but to reiterate that the GG community needs to trust us.
We welcome input from very experienced developers that see mistakes, and can help us fix those mistakes. But, simple non-informative lobbying does not help get anything done.
