I predict the new version of Dwarf Fortress will come up in....
« on: November 20, 2013, 01:56:43 pm »

never. Sorry if this is frustrating, but the version will never be released. If it does get released, it will probably get released sometimes in the 2020s.

There was that one version that people waited even longer for than the current one.
Granted it was like "just" a month more, but my point stands.

And don't be so pessimistic, Toady always delivers!

Had some fun yesterday looking at the beginnings of certain threads where people, myself included, were sure the release would be sometime in the summer. July at the latest. That was in February, and now my prediction is that we will get the release sometime around Christmas. Of course that means that the actual release will be sometime in early 2014. Sooner or later though, The Toad will deliver.

I am just sad that he has posted anything on the blog in the past few days.

I was probably in some of those threads.

"My prediction is that the new DF version will come out in April 2013. Maybe in May. June-July TOPS. Now it's March 2013, so I'll stop playing to build some urge and lust for the game so I really want to play it when Toady delivers."

Hehe, I've been building up my excitement this way for months too.  Ideally we'd be able to hang ourselves and use a caged necromancer to reanimate on release day, thus cutting out all the pesky intervening consciousness.

Seriously, mark your calendar and you will see that I'm right.

And what is the point of the thread?

Should I post a thread where I think that it was probably already released in 2001? Because it carries the same amount of positive and/or useful information.

The fact that you aren't providing any proof means that you have no proof to begin with.
