I don't know why it happens, but I really keep silence for two or
three weeks probably, 'cause I don't have time right now. I'm very
sorry, hope, we will continue our e'mail dialogues when I'll have a
bit more free time. Soon there will be exams in the univercity, so I
have to prepare well for them and to finish all the work. So, don't
worry. What about UMM: This project is in progress. I work on it.
There is no need for suicidal disappoints ) Plus, if I won't release
it till Christmas, I will release it anyway. And, all in all, you
ofcouse want to play a REALLY good game, so I'm trying to make it
so... )))
