Well, my bet is on tomorrow... -ish... +1... kinda...

Even after trying Therapist (I don't remember - does it run on Linux?) I just continued using vanilla interface for everything... guess I'm gonna try playing without texture packs, too. (until they are revised... don't know if they'll just work fine with the new version, especially the multitile trees)

Actually, forget crashes, multiple corrupted saves in a row are what grow beards. On that note, I wonder if DF can by itself somehow cause a kernel panic?

Nah, the OS keeps user land applications effectively sandboxed from its own memory.  That prevents it from causing a kernel panic of its own accord, but there can always be OS bugs that allow a user land application to cause them.

Anyway, back on topic, I'd love to see the game coming out tomorrow, but I'm pretty skeptical.  I'm feeling something probably closer to the 10th.  I'll be waiting patiently for DFHack to update for the new game, and probably won't try the very first version released, so amusingly I probably won't actually play the new version for quite a while after it's released.

uhh... use your heads guys

am I the only person here who noted the "It's coming out next week" was written on a Tuesday

which means it'll be out, you know, next week. Between Monday the 7th and Friday the 11th


hurrr durrrrrr

Same here.
Then again, maybe it'll come out sooner, or maybe later. You can never know.

1) Not willing to make a definite guess, so soon...
2) .38 to .40
3) I suspect 6 (playable; a few gamebreaking bugs, more annoying bugs, and a few "features" that are quickly weaponized)
4) Fortress mode definitely. Never got the opportunity for true FUN before I found Therapist for DF2012. Should be... interesting. Someone's gotta Leeroy Jenkins fort mode, and I'll gladly do so.

well see threetoe said next week, toady said a few more days...
WHO DO YOU TRUST?

[Obibun]

From my interpretation the "a few more days" was updated to "next week", it's not a case of one vs. the other

a few more days came first as a comment -- then officially it was finally announced as next week with the future of the fortress update

you guys really need to work on your comprehension

[neblime]

no i mean in the same bay12 report, in toady's section

I wonder if we're going to lose impulse ramps?

Revised estimate:

- 7th-9th
- 0.40
- 1.9
- A few adventurers, then a fort or two in the same world.

I plan to have just one or two worlds that I run all my games in, and watching them grow.

- 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?

All right.
- July 7th, still sounds sensible to me.
- 0.39.01
- 6
- Adventure mode. Outright trying the new stealth mechanics, climbing and visiting the hell out of cities. If that fails, Legends Mode (which leads to Drawing Stuff time).
