Hi Guys!
It's good to finally join the forums. I have been a long, long time lurker, so although you don't yet know me, I know many of you.
A question has driven me to finally sign up... and it is a question which I very much suspect no one knows the answer to, not even the great ToadyOne himself. That question is:
When will the next release be out?
You see, I am making plans for a fortress mega project which I expect will take 50 or so years to complete. I am wondering if I should sink the next couple of months into this fortress or if I should hold out for all the glorious changes we have heard about.
So really, what I am asking for is not so much a release date confirmed by Toady, but for a vague guesstimate, from you guys, as to when it *might* come out. If you think your guess is only good to the nearest 3 months, so be it. You see, I have no idea if Dwarf Fortress has, for example, a history of 2 major releases a year. So my best guess at the moment lies somewhere between 1 month and 1 year.
As a secondary question, I suppose I should ask if there are forum rules engraved into the walls somewhere.
Anyways, thanks for reading through all of this, especially considering at its heart it is a question which gets asked constantly.
