In the past DiscreetFX has been kind of sad since we did not have our own super secret project. Well today that changes, we can finally mention we have started work on Project Metropolis. It is still a few months away from launch but we just can't keep our mouth closed any longer.
What the hell is Project Metropolis you ask? Even Chinese Water torture will not make us tell. It’s still a uber secret project after all. If you are able to guess what it is before it comes out we will give you one of our products for free.
I have said too much, I will say no more!

hmm...the movie plot for Metropolis sounds very amigalike:
"society is divided into two classes: one of planners and management, who live high up in luxurious skyscrapers and one of workers, who live and toil underground."
Perhaps we should begin our hunt with those who are underground?

Hmmm... so far I can only link Metropolis to LuxRender and some sort of light transport thingy wotsit so it's gotta be something along the lines of a rendering program or something to do with Aladdin4D... :confused:
Time for some musical inspiration... :)

Creating doppelganger androids to discredit peacnik labor organizers? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxWsPKjDL7s#t=1m0s)

secret project eh..do you mean Alladin 4D v6.0 ??? cause us customers have been waiting a loooooooong time for just one screen shot for AmigaOS;)
-
I think something to do with Aladdin4D. Can't think of anything else that hasn't already been said. :confused:
Probably way off but i'm guessing porting a new version of Alladin4D to other platforms like Morpthos or osx so obviously you have to give it a fancyful name :)
P.S. Why doesn't DiscreetFx have a wikipedia page? :confused:

I hope your project "Metropolis" is great, but I also hope that we don't have to wait for 1 to 2 years with little to no information about the project, or the project itself being released in that time frame.
Please no games that drag on for months trying to tease up interest.

It will be about two months from now.

They are using black magick to contruct a female android to induce revolutionary fervour in the slaves that keep the city in motion from down below.

Why do I get the feeling it will end up looking like the "Marilyn Monroe" android Lister made for Kryten in Red Dwarf. :D

A solor powered pet rock? I get tired of having to connect mine to USB :/

My guess is the combining of Aladdin 4D with the functionality of a program like ImageFX into a single program.

ok now that will make it worth waiting for ..oh and also some 2D CAD support :afro:
-
I'm thinking a revamping of "ComicSetter"
-
WOW! If it is a USB rock, I want one!
-
It will be about two months from now.
If it was an upgrade to ImageFX, that would rock!
I hope 2 months is not going to be the new version of 2 weeks.

Distributed renderer?
Global illumination solution?
-
VideoToaster on an USB stick?!
-
you all are WAY off!
It is new hardware to opperate ANY Amiga-like OS like the computer on "Minority Report" or something like that. :lol:
-
I'm so excited I can't contain myself! I can wait for more cryptic press releases! Please do keep us waiting! And don't forget to fail to meet your deadlines repeatedly.

Sad but true.... As much as I appreiciate what DiscreetFX does for the community these secret projects annoncments always end up being a over hyped dissapointment.

Hopefully it will be one of those "fighter jet" style joysticks this time. Am I the only person who absolutely hates the Comp Pro joystick with its uncomfortable design and crappy fire buttons? I want a stick that fits my hand, with suckers on the bottom and two fire buttons that can be operated by my index finger or thumb. :D

It will be a Franko simulator to post on AO.
I don't know what this will mean for the REAL Franko...

There is no real Franko, he's a jockanese spambot.

The Borg once tried to assimilate me but gave up when the collective began gibbering total random keech and chasing squirrels around in hyperspace... :)

Nah a driver for the xbox 360 wirelss reciever. Now that would be cool. I hate joysticks period

Hi,
Project Metropolis is a 3D rendering program for rendering 3D cities, it has the capability of rendering cities like New York (why would anyone want to), Chicago, Pittsburgh (now we are talking), Philly, London, etc. for such places as google and the likes.
This program can also render things in the city, like people, cats, dogs, etc. it is a very extreme program, that can do reflections, tinting, gases, steam, water vapor, fog and also have this stuff moving about. Does very realistic scenes in 3d form.
This will be a great program once CUSA brings out there computer, since today's Amiga are hardly capable of drawing a drunk Irishman.
