The Transforce 2004 website was updated 6 days ago saying that the venue will be announced within the next 7 days. So, head on over to
www.transforce.org.uk tomorrow to see when and where the event will be taking place.
With
Auto Assembly coming under in under two months (take a look at the top right of our site for the counter), its nice to hear of another UK convention being updated. OTFCC Europe 2004, is still expected to be sometime in the Autumn and that any announcements will not be made until after OTFCC 2004 in the States. This is
not official, just what is expected.

here yesterday regarding a AutoAssembly PC CD-Rom...
The disc is going to be selling for £7.50 inclusive of postage and PayPal charges where appropriate (although we will take cheques etc!) and is a CD-R in a DVD-style case.
The disc is intended to compliment the convention and will have quite a bit of content. Namely:-

Brand new jigsaws created for the CD. These all feature stunning artwork, much of which is by Pete Billingham (Draven) and will all feature CD-quality audio! The music is in the final stages of licencing!
Screensavers
A selection of screensavers from our various websites, and possibly some brand new ones for the disc.
Fanzines
A mix of sci-fi titles, all as PDF files.
Game Demos
A selection of new game demos for the PC including arcade, platform and puzzle games. Many of these will be exclusive to the CD.
