Hi Dark, I know. Beleive me I've heard this before way too many times to count from multiple sources. However, the problems you speak of are not easy problems to fix. I can not just snap my fingers and they are fixed. They will take time and research to fix. As those were not critical bugs I decided to put those on the back burner, so to speak, and worked on the really critical errors like the sound panning and crash dialog. As you know it took me about a month to do what I did, and there is still a mountain of work to do before this thing is ready. So please do understand I haven't forgotten to do this. It is just a manner of trying to figure out what needs fixed first, second, and third so to speak. If I could fix everything all at once the game would be ready for sale by now. For example, most people, not necessarily you, assume I can simply add a keystroke to make the cutscene go away. Actually, there is one but it doesn't work. The reason it doesn't work is because the LoadLevel() function is called by the input thread. Meaning while the level is loading the keyboard thread is temperarily suspended while the level loads. That means no keyboard support at all while our cutscene is playing. I tried putting it on its own thread but the game crashed big time. So between crashing or no keyboard support for the moment my choice was rather obvious for stability reasons. Eventually, I'll fix it, but hey it takes time and work to try to fix a bug and debug it properly. However, since everyone is driving me up the wall asking about the view command and the cutscene I'll spend this entire week working on those two problems specifically. Maybe then I won't have to hear about them any more.
