Do you smell... the new version?
« on: March 04, 2014, 09:01:12 am »

The recent devlog entries sound optimistic, they even inspired a poem:

moderate_private_opinion_of_entity_
_through_cultural_identity

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.

Personal estimate time of release - late March/mid-April.
Take whatever I say with a pinch of salt though, but the previous mid-March estimates seem progressively less valid.

Salt!? Let's just assume it's coming out in the next ten minutes!

Insert something that would make you think I'm clever here

I was very optimistic, but now I think we won't have a release this month. Toady hadn't even began the bugfixing.

It'll be released when Goblins next updates.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Hehehehehehe...


I'm expecting a release during May or June. Which means I can be pleasantly surprised when I'm right or wrong.

People... It's increasingly clear there's not going to be one. The dev logs are just updated to give us an idea of what's new in the Adams' version. I for one accept that. It's still pretty awesome seeing how the project matures, and even after the public testing stage. With luck, he'll still release the final version whenever it's done. :)

At least Toady Time isn't as bad as Valve Time.

the inner troll in me says its vapourware offically now

the realistic opinion within me says he is wrapping up quite a few loose ends, it could still be august before we get the next public version.  Polish it off theres plenty of other great games to keep us busy anyway.

the mob mechanics and new global war type of movement and heck all the changes are looking awesome so keep up the good work toady

now im off to play dark days cataclysm ( think a zombie survival game in 2d text in the same vien as dwarf fortress)

Pretty sure that most Bay12ers are aware of and play CataDDA.
In fact, I'd say that DF is USA of Roguelike Earth and CataDDA is Canada. Or something. Probably. I'm not sure.

Basically, we have a lot of Cata players here and vice versa on the Cataclysm forums.
