Kai JAŹ§ger (aka Harry Hunt) who also currently runs the site Turbo ('http://turbo.gamedev.net/'), has recently announced that he will not be releasing a new version of Xcess for some time now, due to lack of time.

The project, all but dropped, is a set of libraries for working with the DirectX API. Like Omega and Asphyre (previously PowerDraw), Xcess was created as an alternative to the aging DirectX component suite for users that want to use drag and drop VCL components for game development.

It has been a while since the suite has been updated, but the library's presentation and accompanying tools remain of high quality and were obviously well planned from the start. Unfortunately, Mr. JAŹ§ger just never had the time or the support to keep development growing steadily.
