And still I released more playable material than 3DRealms ever did with DNF. 
On a serious note, I know that episode 2 is late, and now I'll explain exactly why. One of the requirements I set myself for the Altered Reality mod is that it must be playable in stereoscopic 3D from end to end (I've been a stereoscopy freak since 2004) and a large part of the episode 2 level does not meet this requirement. Some time ago I was on an editing frenzy and completed what I could safely assume to be 75% of the level. I added a lot of stuff, tests from Preditor itself were fine and all seemed to go smoothly... until I tested what I had done in stereoscopic 3D and the game promptly crashed. I know the Doom 3 engine has limitations in stereoscopic 3D, but discovering exactly what causes the crash and redesigning a big part of the level around this limitation is gonna be a bitch.
Lesson learned: never assume that something works if it may not.
