> Anyone have any information of the Cosmocade demo?

Yep, I can tell you that Cosmocade will be finished tonight, but its fate is
still up in the air.  We have been negotiating with Micro Revelations to
publish it, but nothing is definite yet.  If they do publish it, then it will
probably be release for Christmas in October.  If they don't, then it will
become shareware on Friday (but don't count on it yet).  I'll let you all in
on a little secret here... the IIgs market is so friggin awful right now for
programmers and publishers alike that our projections for Cosmocade are that I
I "might" make a total of $2000 over the game's lifetime.  So far, we have
made about $2800 in shareware from Orbizone, Senseless Violence, etc. 
Coscmocade would make one hell of a shareware game, and if it does become
that, then we'd better get more than $2800 (split 3 ways remember) or else we
will never to another IIgs game.
