After a long day of waiting PSmonkey has finally released a new version IRIS!, heres the release info:

Q2DM Maps were created by ID Software. The maps were pulled from planetQuake.com.

// Alpha Note
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Please note that this is still a work in progress. I am releasing 0.2 early so map moders can get a general
feel of the latest engine. There are many improvements to 0.2 that moders will need to take into consideration
when making their maps.

// Info
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This is and alpha build of Iris 0.2 which hopefuly will become a big fan favorite in the psp scene.
Iris is a Simple yet fun death match game for the psp. Users can load up one of the included maps &
player models to play with or go online and download more maps & Quake 2 models to use in game. The
over all goal of this project is to have something simple, quick & fun yet not be restricted to maps
or characters they dont like. Eventualy the project will progress far enough to allow many things to
be modified or different game types made by the scene.

On behalf of Iris team, Happy Hunting!!

P.S. Sorry it's a little rough around the edges still. 0.2 is still heavly a work in progress!!
