That's just you.
IMHO, "When it's ready", "Soon", and "It's ready when it's ready" are good answers. It assures me the project is still moving to an extent, and that they will not rush to release an unpolished product. It means they are dedicated to maintaining quality standards in the material they release, meaning it will ultimately be more fun to play through.

"Q1 Next Year" means that least there's a plan, and that it's not dead.

"It's dead" sucks though, I would agree.

  • The GTA expects that every man will do his duty.
I think the count needs to count up another new custom title...  :doubt:
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

@BTA
:welcomeblue:

look at the 'status update' thread a few threads down.

@Gooby
i thought all the chapters were independent, and that none of the story or plot-points from the demo were going to be carried over.

EDIT: Gramar fixed. stupid mac laptop keyboard.

Now that's just suicidal. :P

Oh shut up, spammer!

I personally think that "It's ready when it's ready" and "When it's ready" AREN'T good answers. The INFA team knows what's left to do and gives out a reasonable ETA, which is "This summer".

The answers above, IMO, give the impression of dealing with a disorganized team and/or a person who lost interest on the project.

Or maybe they have better things to do than calculating a "release date", especially since unexpected events might occur that might effectively piss on the schedule.

Well I know that designing two missions and testing a campaign before the release doesn't need months ergo INFA will be done this summer.

It won't be released before because I'm having exams and right now I am an "idea guy".

Stop complaining, Mobius.  You do it all the time and it's extremely annoying.

I'm banning you for a day.  Please don't turn into the second coming of TrashMan.

Also, thread split and locked.  Try to stay on the original topic.
