It looks good. Almost too good. It's supposed to open all the ages and let you use flymode. Anybody else used it and does it work or did I waste a hot afternoon trying things to get it working?

It is indeed very useful for offline stuff and does what it says.
That is all I will say.

Thanks for all the answers. I guess it still holds true that if something looks too good to be true - it probably isn't completely kosher. I certainly won't rock the boat and possibly hurt anyone by using this newly found tool. Thanks for the courteous replies. I'm on our side - always was, always will be.

No no no.....

Bubba Gump, don't get the wrong idea. Drizzle is a fine tool to use and is not as controversial as it seems. If you go to the GOW and read up about it, you'll find all about what you can do with it.

It's not a newly found tool. It's a tool created by a long time fan and good designer, Dustin. This forum however is not the correct place to discuss it.

If you have any further questions feel free to PM me and I'll tell you more about it.

SOUP!

It is also the easiest way to download fan ages.

Cyan has given neither approval nor disapproval. This is one of the areas Cyan needs to work towards and hasn't.

The official stance is (and will remain for the foreseeable future): Drizzle was not written by Cyan. Cyan did not give permission for Dustin to write Drizzle. Drizzle uses information that was reverse engineered from Uru (violation of the EULA and ToS). Therefore, no matter how great Cyan might think Drizzle is, they cannot approve of it because doing so would be a conflict of interest with their EULA/ToS.
This is the stance on all fan-written tools.

Fan-written Ages however, are encouraged by Cyan. It's tricky because the only processes of creating fan Ages are not approved.

Well, be fair. The only process of making a fan Age playable is not approved. One cannot play 3DS-made Ages without converting them, but one can certainly construct them.

What's funny is that the tool, that converts those Ages, is Drizzle.

AFAICT, Cyan is keeping all of their options open. They haven't taken any steps against Drizzle or ULM, but reserve the right to do so. Granting any kind of approval to such tools could undermine their position should they ultimately choose to exercise their rights.

OTOH, these forums have three sections specifically for fan-created works, in spite of the fact that there's no way to actually make use of such works without the use of non-approved tools.

I assumed those sections were there for the discussion of projected fan Ages in OS Uru when it happens, and were put in as an earnest of things to come. As I recall the sections were there before Drizzle existed (though not before ULM/UAM).
