Does anyone know when the next update is coming out? i have been really wanting to get it and i cant wait till it comes out , also does anyone know how much is and what is going to be added?, i know of some of the stuff but this one is meant to be a big update.

[Urist Imiknorris]

-Aimed attacks
-Night creatures
-Castles, maybe some other structures, not sure
-probably some other stuff I'm forgetting
-bug fixes
-new bugs

Bugs are opportunities to cause unprecedented amounts of destruction.

-It will be out when it's out.

Probably this year.

He implied it wouldn't be out till the end of the month, but if it's just pre-release cleanup I'd give it a week or two.

I can't wait, I remember in bed this morning right after I woke up realizing it might be out and jumping out of bed to check.

:c

from the mission status:

All this and more has already been prepared and only needs a few more days of debugging before the release at the beginning of this month.

These units making their way across the world is only the first step on the path to great armies planned for the end of the year.

but I wouldn't hold my breath...
but hey, if they release it tomorrow, more power to them!

[Untelligent]

I'm almost certain it'll be released before the end of the weekend, if not sooner.

Though if the bugs turn out to be particularily persistant and it takes a couple days longer, that's fine too, because Tuesday is my birthday. =p

It looks like Toady is in a nice grove atm, so I think he will keep on going until he feels that he has a "complete" patch.

Really, this should be the only answer that indie developers should give alongside frequent updates on exciting new developments.

I second that in a slightly less wordy way!
Like, for example:
Seconded!

Nope. Toady is trying to release roughly monthly now, after that big long dev cycle that gave us 31.0
This means releasing even when things are not perfect.

Chances are, things in DF will never be perfect. And a tester team of 3-4 people (an educated estimated of people Toady trust to test the game for him) will never even stratch the ammount of bugs possible in a game as complex as DF.

That doesn't mean he'll release a complete mess. He's still going to fix all the game-breaking bugs he can find by himself, bugs like the one he missed a while back where there was a problem with the quantum simulator he slipped into the code and observing anything with the (k) button caused the game's wave-function to collapse.

I had a dream the update was out this morning, and it wasn't.


In the dream he'd fixed soap, casts, and added the ability to request military to attack specific bodyparts.  I dreamed I had an army of eye-gouging spearsdwarves.
