1. Will their be a manual, if so, will it be a full featured color manual?

2. Is online play a confirmed feature? If so, are all all four network interfaces supported? (56k Modem 33.6 kbit/s Modem, Broadband Adapter, and the LAN Adapter)

3. If online play is a confirmed feature, will it be scoreboards, or something along the lines of co-op, or will it not be story based multiplayer?

4. If online play is a confirmed feature, will it be using Dedicated servers? If so will we be able to host our own server?

4. Will you be able to play multiplayer with the Vs. Link Cable?

5. Is save support with the SD-Card supported?

6. Will there be pre-rendered cut scenes?

7. After Tahi do you have any plans to continue developing for the Dreamcast?

8. Do you plan to do a book release or even a series revolving around the world of Tahi?

9. Is it going to be a Dreamcast and PC Exclusive?

10. If so, will you do something different then what Valve did with Team Fortress 2 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, where the Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 versions are basically abandoned?

11. Will you be releasing it at any retail stores, like retro gaming stores?

12. Will there be any promotional items?
13. If there is a Limited or Collectors edition, will they be numbered.

I do realize that you may not want to answer any or all of these questions, as many things are likely to be uncertain or not ready to be revealed, and some of the questions are about the "nitty-gritty" details.

Thank you.

I have sent out the questions for Frank to answer. He should get back to our community with a statement as well as what he can answer. There are some things he cannot answer per his result of his visit at Sega America.

nice set of questions, I look forward to seeing his answers. I still think everyone in the world will only really rest easier about this title when they finally see some recent game engine footage rather than just hand drawn sketches and designs etc... I'm looking forward to it but as a DC veteran I will keep my hopes dialed waaaay down for another five years I think lol

Never gonna happen. GD-ROM production has been completely stopped. The last few NAOMI releases even got released on carts instead of GD-ROMs.
