In the year 1,000,000 and a half, Dwarf Fortress is still in development but now by giraffe.

You're sticking your neck out with that one...

((And to think I just took another chatty reply over to private message...))

June 2021 - Steam
August 2022 - Final Steam armies/villains/bug changes
Oct 2027 - Myth & Magic

Is this Starbound's version naming scheme?

July 2021 - Steam
June 2022 - Final Steam armies/villains changes, but some bug fixes come later during what's technically the Big Wait
January 2026 - Myth & Magic

June 2021 - Steam Release
January 2022 - "Pre-Magic Improvement Candidates" and stuff
April 2024 - Myth & Magic

I will bet all my dwarfbucks on this prediction!

[Bortness]

April 2024

More like Smarch 2057 + 4

let's say we will all update after Steam release. Some people made their prediction before the steam thing so that would be unfair

Steam version is out. Time for new predictions?

Classic release should be soon. After that there'll probably be some bug fixes and misc improvements. I think villains pt.2 and army stuff might be before the Big Wait?

I predict the Big Wait for myths and magic will start around June 2024 and end October 1, 2026.

I'll keep my January 2026 just because it's fun that way. Foolish, perhaps, but most of us have been in regards to Steam so it doesn't change much really

[Criperum]

My prev. prediciton of mid summer 2023 obviously won't come true.
I think big wait will start at spring 2024.
But i really hope the Toady spend some time fixing UI/UX of steam version before adding new features. Or even hire someone to do this since steam sales went pretty good.

I think three years of Big Waiting feels about right. So long as you don't count the occasional fatal bug fix release, which should be more feasible now.

He kept us all waiting about that long for Steam, include thousands who had never played the game but wanted to and now he's a millionaire by all accounts. So, it's hard to argue the "intermittent releases are required to keep people interested" line. Though I guess he'll try.

So, ah, tons of stuff to do before Big Wait even begins. Villains, an actual time of focussing only on Adventurer, which is guaranteed to lead to immense rabbit holes, and Adventurer surely deserves the love now so that's fine, improved sieges. Interface updates of course.

So, forget whatever my last guess was (probably way past it already) and I'll say Big Wait will be 2025-2027. Assuming it is an actual Big Wait and not released a bit at a time (in which case, still 2027 to get all the bits out I reckon).

Until I know a lot more about much of this current development process, I'm going to stick to my original estimate...


Impossible, you say!?! Only if you don't believe in the power of the TimeCube!!!

If you guys want to be realistic I'd say 2028 would be when myth and magic comes out.

[Bralbaard]

I think the dynamics might have changed a bit now that the game is on steam and a publisher is involved. I still think they'll work on the magic and myths and all that, but I'd expect it to be released in parts, and that the time of big waits may be behind us.

Sounds about right.

Few month more handling the steam release spotlight, squashing bugs and tying loose ends. Eventually releasing the updated classic release.
1-2 years till adventure mode update detour and polishing various aspects of the villain release.
4-5 years till Myth & Magic release.

You are right, time for new prevision !

I'll say Big Wait will also start in June 2024. But will end in 2027, december.
