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?
