In another quick update, hope raises the forums anew.

Or maybe that's just a solid whipping from the Dinos. Who knows.

So what's going on then?

[Xgamer4]

Absolutely nothing. The forums were down for about an hour and a half, then they came back up. I just decided to amuse myself with (bad) embellishment.

[forsaken1111]

Ah ok.

[Knave]

Did they release the gameplay vid yet?

Nop...and the forum is down [still/again?].

Apparently Josh and Fenicks are now living separately so he can't directly go and ask what's going on.  Apparently the last update claimed it'd be out at Sunday night but Josh has gone dark since then and Fenicks has no info on what's going on.

I have a lurking feeling that something bad's happened.

EDIT:  Something bad has happened.  Fenicks hasn't said what exactly happened, but it sounds like there's some kind of major issue in the underlying code that's affecting the continuity of gameplay and may take several days to fix.  Considering they were saying only minor problems earlier, I'm assuming it's an emergent problem or something major but localized that slipped by until he did something specific.

TWS Beta patch notes 0.4.71

- Stopped ingame cultists summoning actual old ones to your living room (Sorry guys)

Apparently some of the eldritch language we used was genuine and summoned an actual old one. We're sorry! We've altered the sigils so that this should no longer be the case.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Someday I'll actually get around to registering on the official forum to look at updates of things.

So uh, final version for non-beta backers such as myself on the horizon, or should I expect a few more months?

The beta isn't out yet, but is expected to arrive shortly. The first early-access will be released once the first scenario (The North Burns) has been completely tested, and all agents and starting Old Ones have been cleared to be ok. So it will be a while before you get to play.

I was kind of thinking of ways this game could even be Co-op

And while I thought of an interesting way (the extra players play sort of lesser gods who are a much more limited pallet of actions. Think playing Dagan and Hydra when the 'main player' is Cthulhu)

The issue is I don't think it is possible to introduce without demolishing the already difficult balance the game has.

Dominions 4 actually did exactly this with the disciple mode. It is teamwork where one player rules as the god and the other ones in the team play monsters and prophets ruling their own sub-nations working for the big guy.

Huh, looking pretty good. I wasn't expecting anything after all the worrying signs and delays, but this is promising (and relieving to see something at last).
