People, please, get a grip of yourselves. We have waited for way longer than a year, a few months more will not hurt, are more than worthy and you all know it. I said it a thousand times (well, I'm exaggerating), this will be the most important release, a whole dynamic world that will function as the bones of this creature, from this point on DW stops being a snapshot taken from a fantastic world to become an fully interactive live feed video of it. After this I suspect the speed at which awesome features are added will only increase, as simply putting muscles over those bones. It might not be perfect, but amidst a huge storm filled with lighting and thundering, inside his apartment surrounded by Tesla coils spiking with arcs of energy Toady, dressed in a white lab coat will finally be able to scream to the heavens "IT'S ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!"
I think I previously compared it to a kid starting to talk and walk, being the pivotal skills needed for everything else the child will do, from playing and dancing to working and fighting, if you rather that analogy over the Frankenstein one.
Logically, given the importance and amount of work involved in this I think that in fact we are getting a really fast release. Keep in mind Toady is coding alone and he's working with a code that has over 10 years in the making. I'm a coder, and sometimes I can't handle code made by myself just a weeks ago even despite the best practices in code documentation and commenting.
Now, let us be at peace meanwhile this baby is finished, the waiting is completely worth, be it a few months or another year. We are talking about the most important update to date (and might I dare say of it's whole history, surpassing past and future updates) of the most complex, complete, detailed, and in my humble opinion, the best computer game in the history of mankind.
