Extreme Productions now has a new look! I'm still in the process of upgrading all the sites, but it is coming along nicely. Also, I am going to start doing some website design when I go back to school. That's all for now.

I have just completed ExtremePad v2.01 and it is available for download. It features a tabbed-interface for multiple file editing and contains a new MinLock feature to protect important information. This version is a great improvement over v1.1.

Release of Extreme Dice and beginning of the Extreme Productions website.

My name is Blake Birkenfeld, and I started Extreme Productions in February of 2000. I am now a 19 year old college student at Texas A&M University. I started Extreme Productions after the completion of my first game, Extreme Dice v1.0, and my intention was initially to create many freeware games. However, after Extreme Dice, I became very busy and didn't start working on another program until July. The first version of the program, ExtremePad, was finished in late August of 2000. I finished v2.01 on July 25, 2001, and version 2.2 on April 25, 2002. I have a lot of ideas for improvements to ExtremePad, but I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on it. Maybe I will in this upcoming school year.
