Hi Shannon - will UMS stay at $114.95?

UMS in its current version will be $114.95 until the final price for 5.75G is calculated.  Then it along with all other 5.75G programs will go to the new price.  When the new price will arrive I'm not sure.  It will depend on when I am not having so much trouble with the stability of the models.  Right now I'm more interested in producing the programs I need to make than spending that time trying to raise prices.  So enjoy the discount while you can. 

Thanks im running MHS 5.75 now.. thats why i asked how much longer UMS will be discounted.

How long have you been using MHS? What are you using it for? What do you think of it so far?

@Shannon


 I have been using DMSI since past few years and jumped on UMS from the time it came. While running these two programs I came across something interesting.
 
 When I was running DMSi, I was getting a few scenes in my dreams on a repeated basis.  I cannot recall  the exact sequence. But it had to do with choosing one specific route to get to a particular place. And another one about going to a place which is hard to reach. The scenes were almost always the same.

With UMS, I am getting a scene of stopping by a super cheap hotel to eat when it is very cold and late at night. Its a filthy place, but had awesome food that I like. Rats would be running around, but no one else who was eating there seems to mind them.

Again, the set of imagery has come on many many occasions. In December I took a break from USM and played DMSI for a while and the first set (mentioned above) came back. When I restarted USM, the second set of scenes came back.

 Till now, I did not know there was a connection between these scenes and the subs.
 But the switch between first and second is very consistent and only in hindsight I could see the co-relation.

 So now, my question, Do you use storytelling within the instruction set? Because my mind seems to go in a particular route depending on what I am listening to.

 I really hope we come to a phase where we can run DMSi and UMS simultaneously.

I don't reveal how I do what I do, so I can't answer that question. But given my current understanding, it seems really unlikely that we will ever be able to run DMSI and UMS at the same time.
