so theres two (..and more) "inspired by SingStar" games, but the question is which one do you prefer more: the original UltraStar OR modification of it, UltraStar Deluxe? Which one is featurericher? or more user kind? should developers of these samelike games cooperate? feel free to talk about other SingStar clones out there!

Ultrastar Deluxe is much better!!!
And I think Corvus knows that. That's why he always tries to copy parts of the code from usdx
Upcoming Ultrastar Deluxe 1.1. will have a medley feature.
A devellopement-status you can see in my youtube-video:

The official UltraStar goes for stability. The developement process will speed up greatly in a few months and the game will introduce more network options and will be easier to use.

good to know that you devs are working more on the technical side, but how about visual side? i have noticed that deluxe team has seen lots of effort making deluxe looking more neater.

USDX 1.1.
- will look very nice
- will have a new partymodus with many features
- will have a medley-function

The normal Ultrastar from Corvus has nothing in this way.
With "network-functions" i can't make a real good singing-party.

From new year I'll be working on UltraStar all the time. The list of new features has no end.

I anxiously for these new features!

This is the main aspect I think. Due to the GPL you should assume that the developers don't have personal benefit from ultrastar (e.g. thinking of money). And as you already said: USDX "borrowed" from US and US "borrowed" from USDX.
Why don't they work together? It would be much better for the user if he/she had _one_ game and not two (oder even more) different ones that basically do the same thing and will expand in different ways.

So in my opinion you can't say which one is better. USDX has more developers and a more modern interface (at the moment) so I predict that they will develop faster. But US has not even worse features - I'd like to use both parallel...

Well - I think it'll be a dream ...

indeed. development would continue a lot faster if two teams join together, but not only teams, both (US and USDX) communities too. that would increase bug reports, feature requests etc.
