Update on Release date

[sean]

Awesome trailer and work on the game again, really appreciating the effort going in.

I know the game is set to release Q3 but was wondering now if there's a more specific time for the release date such as this month, next month, etc.

Completion date: When its done.



You can't rush art, after all, and this game is certainly a work of art.

[sean]

I agree this game is definitely a work of art, but the game is going to release Q3 for sure was wondering if he had a specific date in mind.

He said in the Artism Speaks interview/podcast "I'm aiming for September".

[sean]

Damn, September is pretty far. It would be better to have it early access that way Rob can change things and fix things before it is officially released.

[thexenomorphian]

I am okay with a September release I will wait A thousand years for this game if i have to Because Rob makes good games. I am excited for the future because in that podcast he said he had hundreds of game ideas that he'd like to make (I hope he makes a game that has similar gameplay to Supreme Commander but with the fps/rts game play he made)

[I Darkstar X]

I concur with thexenomorphian. Regardless if my weekly "Road To" series for Executive Assault 2 will lst longer than to September, I don't mind, because my enthusiasm for the series will never die!

[Rob]

I am working really hard to aim for September with a chance that I might miss but not due to lack of work but basically trying to get the game play just right, would rather miss September and release it later on in a super fun state then release it in a terrible buggy state simply because everyone is expecting it then.

One reason I released the video was to show how far along the game has come which I hope worked.

There is a good chance that it will release into Early Access mainly for balancing/multiplayer shakedown/tech etc.

[sean]

That is true, it is definitely better to have it in a fun state rather than an unfun buggy state. The video has for sure showed how far along this game as gone and after watching it I want the game to come sooner haha.

[I Darkstar X]

I think people keep asking because they want to know what specifically is still to be done before its ready, as the developer play-through seems to show a completely finished game.

That's just a guess, though, I could probably be completely wrong.

darkstar remeber that was 1 hour condensed into 15 mins

[Rob]

It missed quite a bit actually such as the battle ships, the mechanoids, turret and defence control, Executron game play, Protestor game play, the Monolith, defence platforms, factions, teleporting, Teletrons, other structures...etc

Oh, so are those things not fully implemented, then? I just assumed that they were omitted.

[thexenomorphian]

Some of them are done Like the monolith (i asked in a post) but i think he means that he forgot to show us

[Rob]

wasn't really forgot, just you wont see all the tech in one game, have to play more to see other tech which adds to the replay value.
