So has the beta started yet or are you still preparing for it? And if it started is it going well?

[Tolwyn]

t've been two hectic weeks: we've shifted entirely to bug fixing and preparing to launch this thing. We had a team-wide play through of the entire game. Everyone was looking for problems and places we could add that last little bit of polish. I was ecstatic at the amount of feedback I received and have been spending the past two days sorting through it all, prioritizing issues, and slamming stuff into our Bugtracker. As I've said before (ad nauseum by this point) the game we have right now is already good. All the feedback was just minor little things that we can do to really make it great.

[Fade Rathnik]

Ohh i understand that its the polish that makes a game great and the more the better, i'm not asking for a release date, just seeing how your doing. thank you take your time.

So can we expect a release [relatively] soon? But like Fade said, don't hurry, get everything 100% perfect.

We truly hope so, if nothing unexpected will happen again

[TheLeadSled]

Are you fininshed making the movie scenes for the prologue cause it says on the status page of the information section that movies are only 60% finished

[Tolwyn]

we finished them about two months ago

[Starman01]

Yep. But you could take that subtile hint and update the status page,  Tolwyn

[Tolwyn]

Yes, I know. I have to overwork a couple of pages anyway.

Weee, hold your horses. I didn't said that, it just confirmed "relatively" soon. Important word is the "relatively", and (i.e.) from natures sight even 100.000 years is relatively short



But don't give up your hope, it wont be THAT long 

[Tolwyn]

I bet, you love to tease people, huh?

Still, the release is coming closer. Only 660 yers till the release of the first installment of the game. Winter 2666 will come and we will be prepared

Oh man, Christmas 2006 playing Wing Commander Saga...Santa must be real!!

[Polpolion]

Thanks 

Believe me, we are trying to do as fast as we can. Our perfectionism often stands in our way though. Not to mention, christmas is getting close (again) and the time is flying by at an incredible speed.

Besides that, everyone is busy doing other things this time of the year. But in order not to promise anything (like a release date) we can't hold in the end (which will help nobody), we decided not to work with a release date again, at least not until we are close before the real release.

It's a used up talk (thanks Duke Nukem forever  ), but we have to say : "It's done when it's done". All I can say and want to say at this time, is that we are really close, and that we want to get it finished as eager as you people want to play it (if not more, because I want to start on the next step) But there are still some technical matters and minor bugs we have to adress first.

So we must ask you, and all the other fans out there for just a little more patience (again). Thanks

It's a used up talk (thanks Duke Nukem forever  ), but we have to say : "It's done when it's done". All I can say ..... *blahblahblah*

The release date of this game is "When it's done".  Anything else, and we mean  anything else is someone's speculation.  There is no date.  We don't know any date.  If you have a friend who claims they have "inside info", or there's some game news site who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up. There is no date. Period.

And yes, we know the game has taken a long time. There's no possible joke you could make about the game's development time that we haven't already heard.
