I... want in on this. IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS, and I'll probably end up with a sparsely populated dwarven bunker with corpses and blood strewn about like it was Dorfmas. Excellent.

Sword: Oiled and ready to unsheath.
PDA (Personal Dwarf Assistant): Heavily boozed up and bribed exorbitantly.
Music: Playing on shuffle/repeat. List constantly growing.
Designs: Drawn up, many discarded.
Overseering practice: Ain't nobody got time for dat!

I AM READY.

Well, uhm, the turn list....
I think I might have missed putting a few people on the list. I'll fix that soon and add you too.
Welcome.

I'm guessing that it's at least another month until the release?
I mean, I've got bigger fish to fry atm, ie. Cat-aclysm (CURSE THE FUNGAL BLOOM!) and other shenanigans, but this waiting is killing me.

Especially since almost everyone expected the release to come out before the DF2012 anniversary.

[Krevsin]

i, for one, do not care when it is going tobe released, as long as it is amazing.

But waiting for well over a year (for some people) might be a bit discouraging.

[Eric Blank]

Eh, not as bad as the wait period between 40d16 and 31.01. I was scared that development had stopped, for whatever reason.

Toady's keeping us well up to date on what's going on.

[Inarius]

Yeah, but it's still SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long.

I don't even know now if this will be release before septembre or even in 2013...whereas i thought first it would come up by March.

I'm personally getting worried, you can see by the latest report that their donations are dropping, people are getting clearly discouraged. If I had any money, I'd donate, but I really hope things go well.
I'm sure that when they do release it will be well worth it.

It's not particularly discouraging :

If you look at the last 12 months donations :

 3 600   
 3 905   
 3 594   
 2 713   
 3 580   
 4 055   
 3 917   
 3 254   
 3 244   
 5 518   
 5 597   
 3 364   

You can see that it is quite constant. There was two good months in May and April, but it's (in my opinion) the MoMa effect. However, it's still a shame that the numbers are so low, when you see for example how much a kickstarter can bring to some projects (which, often, are less interesting than DF)

Toady could apply for a Kickstarter, I believe. I don't claim to know all the T&Cs, but because the game is still in development...

When you see that Stoneheart has had 750k (and that it's some sub-DF with minecraft graphics), perhaps for example multithreading could be delegated, or things like that that Toady can't do alone (and don't have time to).

I dunno, Stonehearth had some pretty nice graphics to it. I think the ASCII glory of DF would scare weakling graphic whores potential donators away.

weakling graphic whores potential donators

Gaming industry in a nutshell.
With exceptions. The Last Of Us is ALLOWED to have graphics that good, because the rest of the game is better.

I may have forgotten to request addition to the "fort turn list".  Please add me if that's the case.
