The sixth result from the top lists Henderson Field Designs Video Game Developer. I clicked that link and it took me to a page on gamepressure.com Games Encyclopedia with an ad showing "Games by Developer". That's how I found it.

It is not a guess. It is just totally bogus website, isn't it?. Please be honest and consistent...

Status: offline 		Yeah that would be a pretty specialized requirement ... and not one that would map to our reality.

But be aware ... it takes Matrix at least 30-90 days AFTER a game goes GOLD before it will be released ... so when you see the GOLD announcement ... you will know release will be soon ... until the GOLD announcement release is at least 2-3 months out. We are cranking hard ... but our major surgery to the AI has pushed out our internal timeframe to go GOLD ... and once we get the new AI working it will require testing ... so it will be a while before we go GOLD ... but still more than hopeful for this year.

You obviously missed the reference.

T posted a few things early in the piece that perhaps he shouldn't have and there were errr... 'suggestions' made that involved the application of heat!!

I was waiting hoping that we'd have an Origins surprise,but alas I have now come to the conclusion I'm wasting my time. Time to get my pbem opponent a turn! AE can come when it comes and I'll buy it but I'm not gonna hold my breath over it. I don't doubt the AE teams intentions but putting a fix on WiTp's AI doesn't strike me as a easy,simple or quick undertaking. If its September, I'll be surprised.By Christmas I'll be pleased. If its 1st or 2nd quarter 09' then I'm sure I'll be bitching with everyone else.


im taking this guys advice -im going slightly insane and prematurely grey checking here for an update every day - particularly with the news that its 3 months to go from when you say its done - really, really looking forward to this but i think the best solution is to go into hibernation and come out for a look at Christmas

Does this mean it will work as good as WITP after release of better?

i think thats all anyone wants - the stupid thing is if i would have read in the early days 'AE to be released in Feb 09' i would have thought that was pretty cool, good luck to the developers and carried on with my Pbem - the summer release date, wherever it came from, just got me far too excited for a grown man!!!!! so, i wait

is it the nature of the testing or the number of the testers? Would another 50 testers help?

Some folks have been waiting for a computerised World in Flames game for almost 10 years now. (And the light finally, if dimly, appears down the tunnel for this one.)

One year for WiTP-AE is no sweat.

Timing could have been better for me {out of work for the next 5-7 months and have been out since March}.  Would've been great to be forced to stay at home and have AE come out right then.

Let's say neither was developed according to IEC 61508-3. So it's difficult to say. ;-)
