Director 11 To Ship In March
Adobe announced Director 11 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. It will ship in March, with an upgrade price of $299 (from 8.5, MX and MX 2004) or a full price of $999. A $99 educational version will also be available. It updates the 3D engine to DirectX 9, and replaces the Havok Physics Xtra with a Ageia PhysX Xtra. There will be a new script browser, support for Flash 9, and unicode text support. It looks like there will be a whole new text engine included. We can expect this new version to be Intel native for Macs as well. You can already pre-order Director 11 on the Adobe Web site.

Nice that they also upgrade from 8.5!
I am shocked at this news - venerable Director resurrected from the ashes - and excited. I’ll upgrade even though I haven’t used Director commercially in a couple years…
What great news! Director and Flash complement each other so well, but Director has been like an old friend; stable, flexible, reliable, though seemingly away on vacation for the past few years.
Welcome back!
Checking the system requirements on a Mac… no mention of Leopard OS 10.5. Wonder if there will be an update to be compatible to the current OS. Anyone hear if that is the case?
im quite upset about this price
