Well they did say "Don't play this is you want to play as the novakid"
I mean that does imply the possibility that playing early will lock you out of that race.
I took it to mean "if you have your heart set on playing as a Novakid and nothing else, best hold off until they're actually implemented".
That's how I understood it as well.

Code: [Select]
DO NOT take part in this stage if:

- You want to play through the main quest line

- You want to be a Novakid

Obviously, if you play this stage, they will never allow you to play the main quest either :D

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Do you realize what you have done by posting this?
Now I'll be counting every minute of every day until it releases!

Do you know this for certain, or is this them saying "yeah, we think it'll be out within 3 weeks"?

Like I haven't heard that before...  :P
I wonder if the beta will already have multiplayer support.

should have at least basic 'connect to IP' support, as they've been demo'ing multiplayer since the beginning just about.

Hemmingjay has been promising beta in under a month since June I'm pretty sure. It's kind of strange that Chucklefish didn't address multiplayer when they posted about the beta.  But since they never said it wouldn't be in any of the early stages then maybe it's safe to assume it will be there?

OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

I think that a big part of the appeal is multiplayer, and when they placed the beta at Insomnia, that also had working multiplayer. Given they test the game with a multinational team, they also likely have internet connection support, and have also talked about how said support is really really good. Plus, this is kinda beta. Multiplayer in general needs a good stress test, so we'll be getting it or I'll eat my socks.

If you mean I have been saying playable client in Mid to Late November, then yes I have been saying this for about 3 months now. If you mean that I have been saying it will be out within 30 days repeatedly since June you would be mistaken.


And to address Neonivek, Yup I do have a bit of rumor monger in me in that I have a connection to this studio who gives me information that they believe to be accurate and I share it here since there seems to be an interest in it. So far, only once has my information proven to be incorrect. The rest of the time, it has been in line with the same vague statements that they later publicly disseminate to us all. I am working on two major games that will be released in early 2014 and I exchange information with two team members on Chucklefish's team. The stuff that I tell them is accurate but sometimes must be partially obfuscated for legal and professional reasons. I assume they do the same in return.

For roughly 3 months I have been told that the most likely window is November 18-21 and I continue to believe that to be accurate unless a major snafu occurs. If you have more free time than I do, you could look back and see when it was that I first shared that info, but I am almost certain it was more than 2 months ago.

I hope you didn't take my comment personally, Hemmingjay. It was just a joke directed at the general speculation you see over the internet that there will be a release next week, just about every week. I'm personally very grateful for the information you provide.
