Grabbed the alpha last night. I don't see any NDA stuff, so I assume we're free to post about the alpha/beta progress?

Only thing I see from the alpha notes regarding this is "Please no live streaming this build."

You can always just fire off an email to Simon to check.

Keys have gone out! Everyone check their spam folder.

Feel free to discuss it and stuff. No NDA attached.

However I'm saying no to streaming/youtube as this build has the AI turned off... and therefore no gameplay. Plus I need to give people a decent license so they wont get takedown notices.

If the guy wants to i could run a mirror on my PC for those who wants. With the connection i have its no problem at all, im quite confident i can handle 10-15 ppl downloading at the same time and still eep a good speed for all of them.

The server had 300 people downloading simultaneously last night. I don't think we'll need it.

This looks really cool! I'm way too late for kickstarter/indiegogo, but PTW so I can follow the development. I look forward to the release!

Maia seems to be living up its potential it seems .

That is Excellent! Congratulations on your progress! I only await personality details, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R via imp bot . Cannibalism should remain a feature, by the way.

Haha, that was a pretty enthusiastic review.  I guess the RPS folks are pretty excited about it.

[simoroth]

Yeah very. Everyone who saw it was pretty excited. I've started getting the AI system implemented now, so it's starting to feel like a game and have more structure.

Showed it to someone from a major distributor who is very keen to start an alpha program to launch Maia.

I still need to write about the AI for you guys. I've settled on something very similar to the Sims 3, but with way more needs and wants and a good spoonful of noise, irrationality and a few learning behaviors.

Thanks. I wonder what cannibalism would do to the game's rating. :p

You mean there won't be any cannibalism ? I'm sad now can we atleast have it as a trait. Having a system similar to DF's vampires where it comes up saying a half eaten corpse has been found dumped in a corner and then you must find the killer !


Oh also posters will we have them soon ?

Well cannibalism was potentially a feature. The self cannibalisation is a whole new ball game...

Gameplay wise, keeping them chilled in the storage room or feeding them into the hydroponics room will be the choice you get to make. Cannibalism will likely be very rare.

Posters... good point!

[Anvilfolk]

Well, self-cannibalism has happened before. Of course, this was in Germany, not space, and weirder things happen in Germany than in space

Careful with those big publishers! Don't let them have a big say on what the game ends up as, or we'll end up with a Maia FPS

Not to be "That Guy" but is there a release date set, or a target time period? I completely missed the KS and Indiegogo funding campaigns, but I am very excited for this.

Hmmm release date I think is next summer ( most Likely wrong ) but development for maia will be like DF and continue after 1.0

As of currently i haven't heard of any release dates lately, we are currently on .28 alpha. I would think once we go beta Roth will go ahead and do early access.
