Periapse Linden, project manager/director for the upcoming Expressive Puppeteering feature (up to now being worked on by Cube Linden, Aura Linden and Ventrella Linden) has said that the project is going to be put on hold until at least Q1 2008.

"We believe that resident facing issues of viewer stability, bug fixing, and performance are currently more critical than the development of this new feature," Periapse wrote today, "Team members are now engaged in tactical efforts to improve Second Life."
