DREADling Release Delayed Again
DREADling, the oft-delayed version of Doom for the Palm, has been delayed yet again. It is currently scheduled to be released on May 8. According to their site, the reason for the delay is, "James McCombe does not work on DREADling full time and has been getting 3-4 hours sleep for the last week! In the interests of a polished product and a sane James we hope you understand the move in release date." Read more for the full update.
Subject: DREADling - release information
Hello!
Bad news I am afraid. DREADling’s release date has been
moved to Tuesday 8th May. We thought long and hard before
shifting the date again, and were very loath to do so, but
in the end it was unavoidable.
DREADling is NOT vapourware! It WILL be released on the new
date.
More preview information will be on the web site on Tuesday
25th – watch out for it!
Final price: $19.98
Apart from online credit card orders, we will be able to
take payment by cheques drawn on UK bank accounts. We would
love to be able to accept cheques from all over the world –
and we are currently talking to our bank to try and keep the
charges as low as possible for all those involved.
Again we are so _very_ sorry about the delay in release.
James McCombe does not work on DREADling full time and has
been getting 3-4 hours sleep for the last week! In the
interests of a polished product and a sane James we hope you
understand the move in release date. DREADling has been
lmost a year in development we still feel that it is worth
getting things as right as possible. We have also been
trying to make sure that DREADling works on all Palm
platforms. There are only a few remaining problems and they
will be ironed out be the 8th of next month.
3D Action Planet have interviewed James, and can be found at

As far as IR Deathmatch is concerned, it has been put on the
back burner until the game itself is released. However,
registered users will be able to download it free of charge
once it is finished.
When DREADLing is released, we hope you will think it was
worth the extra wait. If we did not think that the delay
was justified we would be releasing it now.
For those of you who requested review copies, we will hold
out sending any more until we get a few more of the planned
features finished (teleport is cool!) Note that we will ONLY send review copies to bona fide publishing companies.
All the best and sorry again,
the DREADling team
