| I don't understand what this means?
Is this a temporary shut down to take care of some personal issues?
A permanent shut down of all Airsoft software products with no chance for any further updates?
Will the software be released as Open Source so it can be continued by others?
Or is this just that Andreas has decided to abandon the Amiga community and move on to more profitable projects in the Windows and MacOSX, or even Linux communities?
It would be nice to have a better explanation about what is going on after all the work that has gone into the Hollywood and Hollywood Designer products.
I wonder if Andreas feels that he has gone as far as he can with the Hollywood products, or if he has just lost interest in working on it and wants to move on to something more profitable, or more interesting and challenging for him?
Sorry for all the speculation, it is just that after investing in all of Airsoft's products for years, I would like to know what has happened to cause Airsoft to shutdown so suddenly.  |

| http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=36080&forum=32&start=20&viewmode=flat&order=0#672983 "Some clarifications: 1. Development will go on. Updates and new plugins are already in the pipeline. 2. All Internet sites of Airsoft Softwair and Hollywood will stay online except the store. 3. The store will go down at the end of July for an indefinite time. "Indefinite" may mean temporarily or for good. I honestly can't tell at this time. 4. If you are interested in Hollywood/Hollywood Designer, I strongly recommend you to buy the package now. That's why I made this announcement after all. I don't want to disappoint anyone. That's why I'm telling you straight away that I won't be able to process any more orders after the end of this month. So here's your chance to grab your personal copy. 5. I understand that the lack of information concerning the store closure is unsatisfactory but please understand and respect that I can't tell anything more at this time. I also won't comment on any speculations. 6. Reports of Hollywood's death are greatly exaggerated. " |

| As it looks like its now or never I have just order the Ultimate pack on CD with both the Amiga and Windows versions.
I can't really afford it at the moment but I have been wanting this software since I first read a review of an early version when I first got my sam440ep and OS4.1 a few years ago.
I just hope my CDs get shipped before the closes down completely. |

| Well, I've sat on the fence for years over this software and I've now decided to put my money where my mouth is, even if I never use either Hollywood or Designer. Just ordered. All the very best of luck, Andreas and thank you for your hard work. |

| Sitting on the fence no longer. I bought the digipak versions of both Hollywood and Designer.
I didn't realise that the one version runs on all Amiga systems natively, including x86 Aros.
That means I can take it with me on my netbook when I'm working away (and have a go with it on either IcAros or Amikit). |
