Do you think that Toady One has a plan as to how much more that he'll add before the next release, or that he lacks such a plan, or that he has a plan but is almost certain to add extra stuff to 0.31.26 or whatever it's called?

He has some plan, but we're not quite certain just what it'll add outside of night creatures and undercity inhabitants and loot, as well as the town travel map. Basically, the game is supposed to be fun in these new dungeons and catacombs and sewers.

So it's really hard to say what an ETA is on this thing but we're basically just going now until it's fun enough to release, and it's certainly not now; if you go down into a dungeon they're very barren.

Quote from: ThreeToe in the latest report
All that remains is finishing market squares in town, then the final phase begins.  This process of "Fun-ification" will last until the game deserves to be seen in public.

He plans on adding everything to the game before he releases it.

Everything.

IMO it sounds awesome by his descriptions, I just hope he releases it before November 11.

I'm not sure if I hope he releases it before August 30, or long after it...

I don't think he ever really knows how much he adds. He just sort of works with the game and adds stuff as he sees fit. When it all works together, and "the game deserves to be seen in public," he releases a new version and continues working, on a marginally different path or tune-ups.

That being said, I doubt it'll be out this month. You're free to hope, though. Everyone's definitely looking forward to the next release.

The amount that he adds before he releases is exactly as much as he adds.

He's just adding adventury stuff until he feels like it's fun enough to release.
