    Its good news though, we've been in need of a Gamekit book update for a while.

    Can't wait! I purchased the old GameKit a couple of months ago and haven't even had time to start but I'll purchase the new GameKit as well.

  9. 9 Olaf Edit Link Sep 21st, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    You guys should also update the eShop since the GameKit is still listed there at a price of euro 8.

    Woah! I was looking to buy this book, but now, knowing about the creator making a new one, i'm gonna wait for it while i read the first book

  20. 20 DJ_Boxer Edit Link Sep 23rd, 2008 at 1:44 pm

    @RedBirdiii: They say that they will keep it as a donation support purchase. That is why they are still selling it. I was going to purchase this but have already downloaded it and will purchase the upcoming version but inbetween will see what can be adlibbed to the current version with the first gamekit.

  21. 21 Blendro Edit Link Sep 23rd, 2008 at 9:25 pm

    @redbirdiii: the answer is on the page that you're linking to:

    "We are currently processing the work for the book, we are scheduling to deliver books early december. For that reason this download will become available freely on the Apricot blog project. We keep it in our store as a donation/support product though. Thanks! "
