The Anime Studio Offical Guide has been postponed again to January 22 2008. I don't know about you but I'm really fed up with the delays. I wrote the publisher and complained. Hopefully I'll get and explaination in a few days.

from what I can tell the official guide isn't going
to be of much use to anyone but a beginner, but
I could be wrong, because I usually am!

Yeehaa!

At this rate I will have MY book done first!

Do you really expect to publish a book in the foreseeable future?
I need one...

I am working on it a little at a time.

I have an outline and I am filling it in slowly as I go along. I am picking through all my old forum posts and just sticking them roughly into the outline. Eventually I should have something resembling a book or at least a logical compilation of all my stuff here.

I don't really see a finished product happening before that other book... unless AS gets sold... again.

This I find dam funny.......400 pages of........ You decide take a vote.! Let's hang them.

Today is the release date for The Official Guide.

I am praying that the Anime Studio Gods will obtain this book and give us the verdict on it... and just as importantly, the less-than-Gods, too.

Nope!! I pre-ordered it and I recieved a notice from Amazon.com that it had been delayed again to March 26th!!

Maybe... just maybe... they are adding in new stuff for a new version. They do that all the time. Whoever writes the book gets an advanced copy of a new version to cover new features.

Stupid to release a book that might be immediately out of date.

p.s. I've decided to do a web site instead of a book. I can slowly "grow" the site make updates and revisions easily and then publish a book later if I want to.

Same here... I cancelled my pre-order since I assume I'll have learned the basics by the time the book sees the light of day anyhow

People, does anyone know if there even exists any book on Anime Studio?
My searches gave me nothing. Does really not a single book is written to this application?
