The first page lists what they would like to get done to go gold. As stated, giving any kind of timeline is just inviting headaches and overreactions when something gets pushed. I would prefer if TFP just did set times each year for updates, and whatever makes it in makes it in, but that's not how they do things and that's fine with me also. You're getting downvoted because you are coming across as whiny and demanding over something that TFP has never really done(give dates). If they haven't done it for the past 9 years now, why would they start now? Rick is about the only one I ever see try and mention dates, and they usually never work out. But he also doesn't visit here like some of the other devs do.
MM used to pop in and give updates, but the endless whining and negativity from so many people seems to have driven him off for the most part. I'm sure he is also busy with other things/games, but it's clear he isn't as active here as a few alphas ago. And I can't say I blame him. I'd get tired of people coming just to post "Wow, 10 years and still alpha?!?" pretty quick too. Especially when people ignore that the game is basically done anyway. Not like it's been some half-baked product for all these years or something like plenty of other EA games. Outside of bandits and some other things that will likely be after gold, the game is mostly complete. They could have taken it out of EA years ago and called it a full game and people would've been fine with it. But somehow still calling it EA even though it's a mostly feature complete game seems to bother people.
