Part 2 of our exclusive interview with SaxonDragon is up. This one goes deeper into what he means by "truly dynamic", and why he thinks almost no major release in the last 20 years has actually delivered on that promise, despite the marketing.

He also addresses the practical questions a lot of you had after Part 1: how PoP2 is funded, what "commercial offering" really means here, and where the project stands.
