But I'm not Tiruin... :C

Eh, another news post of "we did stuff this week". Come ooooon, show us a nifty feature like you did with ninja ropes :c

[miauw62]

I just found this gif and find it almost too appropriate.


That said, I'm looking forward to beta. If they don't have a lot of exciting stuff to report, maybe it's just because they're prepping for beta? c:

The client was supposed to be submitted to Steam by yesterday and was not. Expect this to cause a delay.

From my experience with other games on Steam, approval of a client can take between 3-14  days depending on workload and holidays/weekends. Tiy does not care about the delay, reportedly saying "we have until the end of the year". Even after hearing that, my friend there said it could still be out in November, but it's less likely. The game works within Steam just fine and they are continuing to update features and balance.

Aka this is going to come out right when I have exams. D:

Is November when they've been promising to release beta by over and over? I haven't been keeping up

Originally the game itself was slated for this year, then it was beta, now it's Sometime or other lol

I still reckon they'll release the game and it'll just be a ten minute video clip of Gaben laughing, then a release date for Half Life 3.

As well as a complementary pre-order for Starcraft Ghost and Dungeon Keeper 3.

Sounds like the most reasonable assumption I've heard yet.

Publicly they are only aiming for a playable client sometime in 2013. Privately they have been aiming for the 3rd week of November, just to be safe. Now that is potentially slipping. However, don't expect a lot of warning or fanfare. Most likely they will just announce the beta 72 hrs in advance or less.

I know Tiy would actually love yo just flip the switch on without telling anyone in advance, that way there are no expectations. A perfect soft launch.

[miauw62]

72 hrs in advance seems plenty of time to dig up an apropriate gif.

I liked how Squad did the... .20, I think, version release, of Kerbal Space Program.

They did the usual preview livestream, denying that the update will be out soon, and then when the stream was ending, they just put it up and announced that it's out. And their servers promptly ground to a halt afterwards.

Flipping the switch with no advance warning might be quite neat, is what I'm saying. See how quickly people notice, and distribute server load, especially if they do end up going for simultaneous Steam and non-Steam release.
