New version?

[Bobthefarmer1]

Now, I'm just curious at when the new version is to be expected, not a solid date, Just a vaguely defined date like 2 weeks, a month or 2 months. Just curious at the frequency of updates if anything.

Patience, my young panda! Patience!

I do have patience, as I said I'm more curious at a schedule (if there is one) I'm still going to play it regardless as I enjoy it very much in it's current state.

Not super-soon, I'm afraid. I've been distracted by some non-dev stuff and I intend to make some deeper changes in the next version.

[Stickle]

The way I interpreted the influencer tier was that we get access to the pre-Alpha version after the fundraiser ended, but that we wouldn't necessarily see any updates or patches besides critical ones (like fixing the major story teller bugs), or if Tynan is feeling generous, until the public alpha starts.

I wouldn't mind being wrong though

[Dragula]

Anxious for a new version, curious what's going to be added/change/fixed.

By now i have had a series of colonies and done everything in the game, survived with attacks with 30+ raiders with 15 colinsists, tried several defensives tactics etc.

I'm now filling time with Xcom and FTL, maybe even gonna try Jagged alliance for a change

[Tynan]

maybe even gonna try Jagged alliance for a change

See you next year.

Take your time on the updates.. I prefer large updates with several weeks in-between.
Mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to update my mods every week.

Well i hope he will get the audio system done and ready.
I am really looking forward to that. A good audio can make or break a game.

[Tynan]

Well, I have to do the system, then Alistair has to actually go and do the work with the system. It'll be a while.

are you unfamiliar with the unspoken law of game forums, and the universal response to such questions?

Soonâ,,¢

 You know what I think might be quite nice, though only If you had the time, would be to sketch up a lil dev tree of what u publically have announced u plan to do, and in a rough, but not final order, and just every couple months update it, maybe with a brief paragraph on what uve done, are currently working on, and what's new on the horizon (priorities that changed, new ideas you want to implement from urself or the community etc... But only the big stuff) just might be a nice lil way for us to check out your progress between releases on your blog or something...

And I think I forgot to say, no mention of estimated time frames, just as a disclaimer to my post lol

[Galileus]

I believe Tynan already stated he does not plan a roadmap, or at least not so in near future.

[Tynan]

Planning game design (at least with this kind of game) months in advance is like planning the exact positioning and angle of a shot in a soccer match 5 minutes before it happens. There's too much chaos between now and then. I stick to planning the next week

Right now I'm working on the audio authoring system. Which is starting to include some functionality of the general mod system; they may come together as a unit.
