Software changes include adding "kamakazi" intelligence to the HoverBot, another new level (19 in all now) has been added, reworked the opening animation sequence to tie into the "ride-on" cabinet theme. In addition, we are continuing to tweak the game play as per input from field test. Max Behensky has been working on improving the vector mode of the GSP and has also been improving overall performance for us. Stephanie Mott will be making changes to the ADSP code to help us improve control response time when she is fully recovered. Will has been supplying us with the graphics for the new opening animation sequence, and Kris Moser has been giving us new Depot backgrounds. We are anticipating new audio including a new music track as well as some additional voice and sound effects. The fiberglass prototypes for the seat and control panel have both arrived and they look "excellent!" A meeting was held this week to review cabinet graphic concepts, and Kyoko is in the process of reworking the concepts as dictated by that meeting. We should be able to make the "ride-on" cabinet field test date of 7/7 comfortably. "Th-th-that's all folks!"
