A17: We’ve finished implementing the basic add-on system and we’re currently preparing the API. Internally the test code is running. However, there may be bugs with the add-ons we distribute when they are modified and due to this we are proceeding carefully with legal checks and such. At the the moment we do not have an official release date that we can mention.

In regards to DirectX 11, we will be addressing this along with the release of the expansion. We’d like to show off a side-by-side comparison video of DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 at the Fan Festival in Tokyo. Additionally, we’re also preparing a benchmark before launch.

On the Mac front, progress is continuing and we are planning for a late-March/April release.
I was wondering if a dev can respond as to whether or not this new benchmark that is being prepared will include a character creation tool as the previous benchmark program did. If so, will we be able to make an Au Ra character in this new benchmark ?

I'm sure lots of people (myself included) would like to be able to play with the Au Ra character creation options and decide on our appearance ahead of time if possible.
