Since aaron isn't around this week, I'll fill you in on the issues with the ribbon.
See, what was happening, was because the ribbon was a model, it didn't really work well with animations on the hand. I'm sure Aaron tried doing textures only on the hand, but the ribbon device still has portions that couldn't be just textured on, thus the combination of textures and model must have looked horrible. Not to mention, sound effects for a Theme game are pretty hard to come across, thus the sound effects were pretty off par.
As for the release date, he's shooting for September 7th, but if any of you piss and moan if it doesn't come out on that date, I'll ****ing rip out your spleen.
