It's July now. Extremely early July, mind, but July nonetheless.
All bets are off now. DF2014 is closer than ever, and the longest development cycle yet is about to end...

So I've got a few, rather arbitrary, questions to you:

- When (day-wise) do you think the release is going to come out?
- What is its version number?
- On a scale from 1 (unplayable without a hot fix) to 10 (less bugged than 34.11) how broken is the new release gonna be?
- Finally... Fortress mode or Adventure mode?

It's not yet July in Toady One's home continent of North America, so myeh.

I'm guessing around this Friday, because there's precedent for releasing on (minor) holidays, like April 1st.

Mid-high 30s, probably not >40.

2-4. The devblog is pretty candid about how much code was ripped out to make all the Adventure Mode changes, and I think because hype is so insane and he's set a deadline, Toady just wants to get the release out as soon as it's not technically unplayable.

Adventure Mode, 'cause that's been tested more and Fortress Mode is probably gonna be really broken for awhile. I'm disproportionately excited for big trees, though, especially in Dwarf mode.

what is the LATEST that anyone could possibly agree is "early" july.  12th? 13th? I'm going to go with something like that
just a random guess for version number I'd put it at 0.39
who's to know how buggy it will be... all I hope for is bugs that don't corrupt saves/crash game, anything else I figure can't be THAT annoying
totally playing adventure mode, not so much because of the abundance of new features but more because I'm worried about save  compatibility breaking / corruption killing my fortresses

[smjjames]

The first week and a half would be early July? Anyways, yeah it'll be released very soon. He'll probably do the FotF Q&A tonight, and theres the other end of the month stuff he has.

[FallenAngel]

I'd say as late as July 10th. That's about as far as early in the month goes (except for February, where that's the 8th).
I'm not so sure on the version number (0.I have lost count?).
I'm thinking playability between 3 and 4 - possible to play, but not exactly enjoyable.
And I'd probably make my first world an adventure world. First a vanilla world and then a world to see if my mod is compatible with DF2014, which is might not be.

I really hope it drops tomorrow... still the 30th for me. 7:17 at time of writing this particular sentence.

The reason I hope it does drop is that my next two days are off and I plan on spending them in video games. Best possible scenario is spending two days straight adventuring around a freshly genned world.

I've spent the last week working out how to best play within personality and what skills I will use, how I will fight and when I will take a life. I mainly plan to wander the land in search of artifacts while hunting dangerous monsters. Caring not for fame or glory, nor even riches. I wish only to learn of the worlds past and from it gain power. Later in my adventurers life, Armok permitting, I will become obsessed with my own mortality. I will leave what ever life I had cobbled together behind in search of the secretes to life and death. I will then amass a powerful undead army of legendary warriors slain by my own hand and claim a site to retire in.

Future forts nearby that site will be extra !!FUN!!


If not I guess I'll just keep playing batman AO or planetside2

I hope you are ready to help hunt bugs!  I just found out the archers wouldn't train because they only shoot to kill!

SOON!

Toady lives in WA, right? If so, we have exactly 1:27 until it's midnight in Dwarf Standard Time. I'm drunk enough on hype that I'm willing to believe "early July" could be /really/ literal.

I'm going with Friday, because Friday is my birthday. So.

The 7th, because life hates me.

Somewhere in the 0.41 range. It's been more than two years.

I'm going to call it a 5.

Legends, actually. Gotta test out the worldgen changes.

- It could be next week. It could be tomorrow. It could even be right n-... *His head explodes from crossbow impact. The Blue Knifeman has been shot and killed!*
