Maximum Torque: The Ultimate Guide to Game Scripting

The book release date has been pushed up once again to the end of Sept.
This like the 4th time since the announcement of this book.
I pre-ordered it twice in 2006 and this makes Twice in 2007. The release date was supposed to be June 30, 2007, but guess not. I think I'll actually wait till the book is released 2010. I can say this because I have four conformations from Amazon that date back to 2006 where the release date was pushed up.

I really think if you put a release date on something you should try to keep it. Now I know why GG doesn't put release dates on products. By time this book is released I won't even need it.

I do own all of the Torque books and I think Kenneth Finney is a good writer and the other books have turned out good, but it seems like I'm waiting on a book that is never going to be shipped.

Dates for things on Amazon are like dates for stuff from Gamestop. In other words, that's Amazon's guess.

Just to note a couple of things:

GG has no direct input or control over this book.

Ken's father died a few weeks ago. Sometimes things don't go as people plan, for completely uncontrollable reasons.

I'm sorry to hear about Kens father.
