So hey... any news on release? I have not kept up with this thread, but am interested, and if recent conversation is anything to go by, then trawling through recent posts won't be pleasant. So, any news of release, pre-alpha, demos, or anything?
Early access is coming soon according to the Gaslamp Studios blog. It was supposed to already be here but they pushed it back to Summer. It'll probably be in early access for 1-2 years if other games are anything to go by. I assume no demo seeing as that early access is essentially paying for a demo of the game already.
I don't mind waiting a little longer for a quality product, nor do I mind paying a little bit up front for the beta of a game from a company that has already created one game with several expansions that I have enjoyed a great deal, if Gaslamp ends up going to a paid beta model. I haven't really paid any attention to whather or not that's the plan, because I trust that they won't even do a paid Beta until it's something worth throwing some of my money at.
This comment is partly in reaction to prior comments of yours. You do realize that Toady is probably going to release the most recent update to DF after a two year period spent working on the game, right?
Granted, DF is absurdly complicated, and Toady works alone, but the Gaslamp Games team is doing no wrong here. Two years or so from concept to playable game does not seem excessive. Pushing back testing / demo versions when the game isn't ready is also smart, because when a studio sends out terrible demos, it hurts credibility.
