Using the forum often in the last weeks I realized that the development-side of UFO:AI could need some more creative, innovative & motivated artists from all professions, like often stated from the developers-side also.

My idea for solving this problem would be this:
====================================
When 2.3 comes out finally, we should include a pop-up message @ some point of the game, when there will be no research left, or when 'the temporary end' is reached.

This message would only reach those players really loving this game !!!
After all who else would play 100 missions or more ?!

This message should explain to the UFO-Lovers out there how they can EXACTLY help in the development of this.
I can assure u, we will have a ton of new beta-testers reporting every litlle bug, dozens of talented artists willing to contribute top sounds, music, graphics, animations, textures, code & all the other stuff we could really need in our ressource-base ;)
Maybe we could even find people willing to take on the fight with UFORadiant ;) & start some map-creation-process for UFO:AI...

How many people downloaded 2.2.1 ?

I know only that I was one of them, who got euphoric when he read somewhere that a UFO EU remake in 3d is released & I played it till there was nothing left to play & somewhere @ that point I learned that this is not finished yet, but I needed some 1.5 years to check (because only by coincidence I saw the frozen video with snow falling somewhere), that there is development going on all the time & that I COULD help there ;)
Now I am doin' that. So thiz is only my personal experience, but I am quite sure the lack of artists willing to contribute would be no problem anymore within short time after 2.3 is released...
