PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

I promise that an estimate will be seen as a promise and I estimate a huge backlash from those who felt promised by our estimate and so promise never to estimate again.
It's done when it's done.

VERY much this!

Thank you Roland.

Is there at least a "Definatly not before" date ?

Much easyer to do something else if you dont fear to miss it.

And because even that can be missunderstood say simply a random sentence with a number ^^

in my mind i fill these number in the folowing sentence

"A17e will not be released the next X days"

like

"My cars max speed is 14"

:fat:

Just say A17E will be out sometime by the end of 2030. If it comes out earlier, it's a bonus.

But then someone like Royal Deluxe will come along and say: "They used the number 30 in the sentence! A17e released on 9/30 confirmed!

(No offence meant Royal. Just using you as an example.)

Yes. Definitely not before 1492. Because the game is developed in North-America and NA indigenous people were not known to use computers at that time. At least nothing more modern than an 80186.

:smile-new:

EDIT: Make that 1497. Even if Columbus brought his laptop with him, you then need some time to develop the game.

It took Columbus five years to develop the game? What a moron! No wonder his development company failed. He should have hired more programmers, not switched to Unity 1496, and stopped being so greedy with his kickstarter money.

end of sept now i am not seeing a17E coming in octuber xDD

 

[Damocles]

The threat is way to entertaining to read. They should delay a release even just to keep the discussions going.

 

[DividingByZero]

Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar… You can’t tell me that’s just a coincidence!

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!

 

[Erik Louden]

BOOM! And now we get a Devil? ! Does that mean it died, was tested and came back with a vengence??? EEK...

Or does it mean they are Done and changed it to mess with us all looking for the angel!!!!

Please,Please,Please be done!!

Emojis are not tracking A17e release according to Roland who is putting them on there.

Oh but they are!

Every time he changes the emoji(s), it means they can only be changed 1 less time till A17e comes out. :dispirited:

...srry, had to do it. layful:

 

[DaVegaNL]

enlight me, really no idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Any intel how the work on A17 looks. Dont want to read through so many pages.

Last info i had was end of the month would be very very optimistic.

(A "not the next 7 days" would be enough ^^)

I would go with 'not the next month'. I think somewhere in November? December perhaps?

they neveer said 2018 may be it s 2019 or 2020

 

[DaVegaNL]

Correct. I've said this about 3 times before. Still in development where we are it.
Buffs, skills, quests, items, recipes, RWG, UI, AI, vehicles, sound, etc are all still being finished and debugged.

Just out of curiousity; are there any areas (for which you are (partly) responsible), which you think are more-or-less done for A17e? If so, which ones?

Dude, why the rush? It's better that they do it well, than that they do it fast.

Well, to be fair. He had a lot of bugs!

.. Which he then promptly put on blankets to give to the natives!

link to twit?

 

[Shiana]

i just hope its out before my next holidays.. (that would be end of june 19)

 

[Blighte]

A17 is a myth, a LIE! Don't believe them! If you do, we label you all HERETICS, WITCHES, VILE DEMONS!!!

Really looking forward to A17, though. Looks amazing!

 

[meganoth]

Logic cannot penetrate the tinfoil hat....

To be fair, people might have gotten the idea that MM gameplay would be a weekly or bi-weekly affair. I have not the slightest idea if that was just an unfounded presumption or because of previous MM gameplay events.

So when gameplay video number two didn't surface it gave the impression that videos from MM were "missing". Sure, wrong impressions from rumors, but I fell for it as well. I was actually surprised that MMs video output is so regular even after July when I checked now.

It took Columbus five years to develop the game? What a moron! No wonder his development company failed. He should have hired more programmers, not switched to Unity 1496, and stopped being so greedy with his kickstarter money.

No no, Columbus was too good a bussiness man to do it himself. If he had the laptop with him he would have leased it to whoever needed it. 1497 is just a lower bound, most likely a game company wanting to lease the device would have had to pay premium rates and needed other income sources to stay afloat. That would take time and delay development far into the 16th century.

Other delays surely would have come because of different customs at that time. Witch burnings might have cost the live of any female programmers, Sunday could not be used for development or streaming, at all. The war with the French would impact the coffee trade, and lets not forget what the total absence of pizza means to development !

Well, maybe for 2020´s june... the wait is awful, I have seen so much games created from the scrap in the time this game just gets 2 updates...
