Finally. The number is only three digits. Maybe we'll have the update by my birthday. (Feburary 12th)

[Fourth Triad]

Being optimistic about toady releasing in a timely manner is a good way to get disappointed quick.

[Torak]

At the average rate he's going, it'll take longer than a couple more months for this next update.

1295 was the number he started with, 983 is the number we have now.

1295-983=312

312 is the lines done so far.

It's been exactly 60 days since he posted this update's line count.

312/60=5.2

5.2 is the number of lines done a day, on average.

983/5.2=189

189 is the number of days left at this rate. Putting the next update's release somewhere in June.



I didn't want to be a buzzkill, I just wanted to do some math.

[Erom]

There was a strip in there that was slow, though - if you strip that out, the math points towards Marchish, depending on your method, I think.

[Jay]

Keep in mind though, the most recent stuff was all tons of stuff bunched into one.  I expect he'll be speeding up a bit now that he's out of that stage.  Only time will tell though.

[userpay]

If I recall he said that the rate that he is going at should speed up soon or something.

[Christes]

Yeah, we should cut out the slow patch when determining when it's done.

If we go from the 12th to the 17th we get like 11.2 per day.

That makes it ~88 days until the next release.  But that's a really small sample size.  There's no telling how intensive the remaining stuff is.

[Aqizzar]

Don't forget the week-end project days taking out about 9 days a month.  I'm predicting late April.

[inaluct]

Maybe I'll just start being like "IT'LL COME ANY DAY NOW" about updates. I mean, I'll be right eventually, right?

Realistically, I think it'll come in late spring.

[JoRo]

Based on past experience, the release will come either during midterms or right before I have some sort of project due.

Late April, you say...
You mean, after April 12th, Dwarfcon '09?
Now THAT would be a great treat- everybody who visits the 'Con in person gets DF pre-release! I am, of course, dreaming.

We should picket with signs that say you're not a Dwarf unless you've played DF.
And then have posters of dwarves burning alive as they attempt to run away from humans.
Edit: I first assumed by Dwarfcon you meant a convention for dwarves.  Then I went to Google.  Massive face palm here.

We don't really need a thread for every single Dev Now update.   Isn't that what the Future of the Fortress megathread is for?

This was more about the line count than the individual update so far as I could tell.

[Krash]

Don't forget the bug fixing phase after the counter reaches 0.  That takes a while too
