From this weeks Weekly Blender Institute Meeting minutes:
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2011-July/032671.html
“3) GSoC - Most of the students made cool midterm videos, Ton will collect and post article. - Midterm passed: one drop out (fluids), one didn’t make it (game logic), 15 continued.”
Dammit! The was “The One” I really wanted. Grrrrrrrrrr!
Me too… It’s really sad… By now already 2 guys tried to implement it and didn’t managed(for various reasons, i’m not criticizing them), i’m really starting to think that it is a too complex system to have in blender… The GSoC guy seamed the perfect person to implement it(due to his studies and because it would have been his master thesis), but neither he managed… I’m really curious about what happened, and if google doesn’t support the project any more, but the guy will continue coding for it or no…

Oh no, has it really stopped?
I just read on the mailing list that he will continue working on it, but in a different way
Oh thank God
I almost needed resuscitation.
^^ I broke my defibrillator ^^
Hahahahaahaaa!!
This is really the most work flow changing GSoC project related to bge (not that the other aren’t cool, but i really expect a lot from this one), and maybe the most in whole blender GSoC projects(maybe after camera tracking one)
Thank goodness! Now I’m curious (with a touch of trepidation)… I wonder what “different way” he’ll be working on it? I wonder if there are any ways we, in the community can help…
