We made a deal with the martians, they won't land till LA is released, and played to death.
About progress: All levels were fixed up, finally sun won't shine thru the buildings (previously we cut off many not visible parts of them, but since we have sunshafts we had to put back the parts we cut off, so sun won't shine thru the buildings).
Many people blamed us for doing the vegetation exchange, because they thought it needs a lot of time, and would surely delay the release. Have to admit the only thing which would've delayed the release is keeping the old trees on the maps. Quality is a must, also It did not cost much time, only Cromm and I was working on this, we did not have any other things to do, so instead of waiting for the engine to be finished we made something useful.
