Expected Release Dates?
« on: May 06, 2012, 08:29:31 pm »
Is there any information of the expected release dates for the next DF or is it an "on the fly" type of thing?

When its ready.  Sometimes Toady says it'll be a few days or a few weeks in his updates, but thats all we have to go on.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

From the May '12 Report:
Quote from: Toady One
Hopefully we'll be getting a release together in May, depending on how these last remaining bits work out.

Toady is usually hesitant about setting release dates, in general.

I am often bad at phrasing things - don't hesitate to ask for clarification if something I said doesn't make sense.

It's nice to know that he stays on top of it!!!

"When it's done."

Toady's pretty good at keeping the devlog up to date, though, so you can get a rough idea from that.

I'd prefer he takes his time and makes a good game instead of rushing and making a poor and buggy game.
"When it's done" is better than "tommorow!... wait no next week... wait..."

We just need to get Toady to embed a Lisp interpreter into DF.  Learning lambda calculus in order to play the game wouldn't make DF's learning curve much steeper.

Yup. Instead, Toady spends lots of time and has an outstanding game even with incredibly awesome and ridiculous bugs :P.

Unofficially May. Reality can disagree, of course.

Are weapons like the least lethal thing in DF?

The devlog sounds like he's wrapping up. I'd say within a week. Could be as early as tomorrow.

Probably not tomorrow. Depends on how long the hang bug and "a few other random issues" take to fix, but it'd probably be longer than a day.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I was expecting 34x to pop up tomorrow for about three months. That gives you a pretty good idea of DF release guestimates.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.

Mess the code, and breed the bugs
assign blocks meaningless tags
confuse traces with obscure calls
fork processes till it all stalls.
That's what Toady really hates,
so careful, careful with release dates!

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
