At the most... Could be a quarter of a year.... I posted this to be light-hearted. As a developer myself I know how I find deadlines don't add anything to my enjoyment of what otherwise would be a greatly enjoyable creative job.

This game is a work of art, not to be rushed in any way, and I have already been waiting years.
This whole new possibility of helping with beta just has me checking my e-mails every five minutes though....
Total truth - I have just nicked a couple of the wife's crochet needles and am learning it from YouTube video.
Very relaxing and time does pass quicker.
Think I'll make myself a capital-ship-cozy....

I now look forward to having an intergalactic war over "Spice" in DW2.

I just looked that up. Seems pretty sketchy behaviour there.

I have been pretty lucky with the games I have backed, although most have been slow burns. Kenshi turned out well, Project Zomboid is still being developed in a good way. The only tragedy for me has been Rogue System - that would have been unique and my dream game, but was stopped due to genuine dev health reasons.
I did take part in the Elite Dangerous Alpha/Beta, which turned into a very different game than I expected, and not really my thing, but nobody could say it was abandoned.

Weirdly, there was a thread on the Steam discussions for Shadow Empire, where somebody is claiming it is 'dead'. Bizzare as it is a great game that I am enjoying very much and still has active development even though it has been completed and is a work of art.

I am expecting nothing but good from DW2 - just sorry to have missed the beta on this one.

Now - off to watch Dune...

5 months, or 22 weeks or 153 days or 3,685 hours or 221,143 minutes or 13,268,634 seconds, at the most, probably, but no pressure... ;) ... to go...

I was thinking that I really liked Dune, also Game of Thrones, which were two book-to-film conversions where I never read the books. Whereas, for example the Lord of the Rings films, which I watched after having read all those books many times, those films filled me with righteous rage for years and I grieve for all those who have ever watched them. They weren't bad films, great achievements in many ways. They just should have been called something else and not borne such a deceptive superficial relationship to the books such that any subsequent reading of them has been irreparably vandalised... Ohhhh I could write pages and pages of this stuff.

Conclusion - I am not going to watch any of that Asimov's Foundation TV thingy.

We're expecting to add in the second wave of testers in the coming week. It won't be a very large number. I'll post here to let you know when the last of that wave is in.

Regards,

Hehe :)

This thread?

I think the reason I signed up to this forum was for that exact reason.

Although I can't find a way to list my previous posts anywhere.

Great! I will be holding my breath. I was not selected in the first beta and I am hoping that I make it in the second!

I hope to see Dune soon, also has anyone seen much of the series Foundation yet? I hear it will be epic sci-fi :)

1. I am with you brother.
2. Same, I am currently playing 'Space Frogs and Friends'
3. Dune is great, good adaption. 1/2 a movie. If you are impatient, wait until the 2nd half is done so you don't get disappointed.
4. It's good, holds true to the books in a lot of ways, charts its own path in others.

Hang in there.
