Does it ever get old? "GUYZ GUYZ THE RELEASE! IT'S JUST A WEEK AWAY!!!" *A week later* "NO THIS TIME FOR REAL U GUYZ IT'S JUST LIKE A WEEK AWAY!!!" *Continues about weekly for the next two years.* I know it got old over here...

And if you're completely ignoring the devlog, you're right to say that.

The devlog will never be quiet as long as there is work to be done.

Brace your anus, because he's only got bugs to squash left. Unless there's a surprise or two.

A surprise would be a bug though.

[CaptainArchmage]

Is it likely to be preceded by a long silence on the dev log?
Can any release veterans give us an idea?
The tension is killing me

It depends on how far Toady wants to go in bugfixing and so on. A few days could see Toady release a reasonably playable game, and I would be happy with that. He says “dwarves might wander off”, but we’ve had worse back in DF2010. Like, when soil was not farm-able without irrigation for about ten months without a fix. The bugfixing period for DF2012 wasn’t particularly long, the bugfixing period for DF2010 went on for about two months (source: some people got a bugfixing release in February of 2010) before Toady just released it (1st April 2010), and some of the bugs (thin skulls, I think) are only fixed as of the coming release.

... Very soon.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't like suspense really.

[Swonnrr]

Even toady is teasing us now.
He said how much issues he had fixed, but not much total there is.
Is it 20/100? 20/1000? 20/1 000 000?

[smjjames]

20 out of about 100 sounds about right.

[Swonnrr]

20 out of about 100 sounds about right.

I don't know, if that order of magnitude is right, that would mean the release would be counted in weeks?
That's too good to be true.

[Mesa]

Also note that he said it's "much fewer than he anticipated", which would (probably) imply that there are more than 100 issues, if my sick deduction skills are telling me anything.
We shall see though, but I can smell this release now. Kinda literally funny to say that, now that we have smelling now.

It'll be next Sunday. I'm sure of it. And even if it isn't, then it'll be the Sunday after that. Or the one after that. Or at most the one after that. Or... Hm... We should make it a drinking game and get wasted every Sunday my standing prediction of it taking exactly one week from whenever now is turns out to be wrong. See ya in detox!
