Descent3 will probably hit stores May 28th

Over at Descent3D I read that Descent3 is pushed back to May 28th, according to PCIGN, AND Electronics Boutique.

The probability of this is that it is TRUE.

Kevin updates Dev Notes

Mr. Kevin Bentley(Senior Programmer) has update his developer notes. Here's a tidbit.
First off, there is a new command line parameter for limiting the framerate. In the previous demo you specified the time you wanted each frame to take in milliseconds, using the "-limitframe" option. People found that confusing, so I added a new one called "-framecap " where is the maximum framerate you would like to have.

Also, if you record a demo at a fixed framerate, you can have D3 play it back and automatically take a screenshot of each frame. All you do is use the command line parameter "-makemovie", then choose a demo and play it back. It will take a long time to create a tga of every frame, so be patient and have lots of space free on your hard drive. I did a little test and made a small animated gif file which was pretty cool.

I just posted almost all of it. Whoops did I do that? :o
