Vidar finished the thesis about Zoomable 3D User Interfaces at the end of last year and is currently working with automatic 3D optimizations in Linköping. The previous plans for Cactus Cowboy have been put on hold after the decision to use Android (OpenGL ES) as target platform. The C++ version will, in near future, be directly ported to run on Android including all existing features. There are also plans on writing a completely new 3D engine for an RPG version of the game.

Tomas has left the University and is now working fulltime as a ASP C# programmer for Clever Learning AB. Tomas design for the Giana clone as well as the images are completed but no code has been written. Tomas is also experimenting with Allegro to release a new game that is a cross between Space Invaders and Breakout.
