I do have inside info but the inside info is extremely subject to change which is why it is not given as outside info. I know the target date but what I also know is that they are likely to miss that date and it will actually come later. A17 Experimental could come as late as August or even later but I really don't think it's likely. I think they'll cut planned features first and postpone them to A18 before they let it go that late.

In the past, if they'd done that it would cause a huge uproar from people who assumed they were promised A, B, and C in Alpha 17. Now, since nobody will know what was planned they won't be upset that it got pushed to the next alpha.

I'm 99% sure we will have the experimental by July and hopefully even sooner than that. But.....there's always that 1% chance things could go way sideways and it will be later than that.

thanks roland for this information... but a little question... can it be that a 17 release date are so far because of the many canges? and can it be that more changes come like that what was annouced at the a17 dairy?

 
There are more features, fixes, and changes than are currently listed in the dev diary. They only get listed once a developer confirms it is going to be ready for A17.

 
I picked experimetal in May and release in June for mine.

I hope that's not the case, because A16 came out in June LAST YEAR. 1 major build a year isn't great... so I'm hoping it'll be more like experimental and release in march (experimental for the first half, release in the last half).

We'll see how MM's video looks in a couple days, if it looks like you could play in it, then maybe what you want might happen.

 
I am guessing. A17 is 60% done.

Work goes slowly on new features. So much have to be looked at.

Vehicles could be ready in a month, but rest.... Mods might need more time and more creativity. Buffs might be redone few times till TFP decide -its done.

Hmm This Summer.

 
I wonder how "polished" A17 needs to be, before it's open for experimental testing...

Considering the lack of open A17 patch notes, because of the huge hate posts from ignorants during A16 development, I unfortunately expect it to be very near done before we get it.

One could still dream of an experimental release somewhere in Marts-April...

Come devs! Be brave! ;)

Too soon, way too soon. Mister MM won't be happy with state of A17 at current time.

 
Could you imagine how awesome this game could skyrocket if TFP and the Mod Makers worked together? :D

So you mean, having the modders join in on the development of new alphas?

That's just silly... No other word...

definitely, i hear some modders complaining now because the alphas break the mods.. and modders having early access to early access keeps them in same boat they are in now... every alpha means they have to redo their mods. when content is done being added, then thats a different story but not right now.

Yeh, the only real thing it would help modders do is give us a little speed boost making sure our mod is a17 compatible the day it drops, rather than having to feverishly rush to make the changes... it would be nice, but certainly not necessary.

The REAL problem is the SDX mods, since we're dependent on Dom (and now Hal) to update the SDX launcher code thingamajibbie, and historically, that has taken months. It's supposed to be faster going forward, and Lord I know I hope so.

But I don't think that's what the person meant, I think they (PurgatoryWolf) thought that new content would be included in A17 if modders were part of the dev team, but I do disagree with that notion.

The pimps hire modders that make the cut (Alloc and Gazz), so it's not like they're not looking. =)
