12 months? Just curious as to what your guys' expectations are in terms of timeliness.

    It will be "when it's done". UWE is more concerned about making an awesome game than hitting a specific deadline at this point. There's no telling really. This will come down to how long it takes to get all of the content in and bug fixes / balance changes.

    Imo, no idea, when it gets here.

    Well, Flayra said he wants Beta in a couple months. So work from there.

    i'd say q1 2011 optimistically, q2 realistically. it would be nice to have beta release on halloween...still got a long ways to go before we get there though.

    21.12.2012 - the Mayans were right!


    Well, I expect in the next 3 or 4 months (maybe) a playable beta and 1.0 hits steam march/april next year.

    It's true! I was listening. So I'm going to try and pin the tail on the donkey too, 8/9 months to v1!

    I'm hoping to see beta 1 available around Dec 15. Final 1.0 on April 1.

    If I was a bookie I'd give odds Over 1.10 Under 8.00.

    That's what I thought he said too, at first. I went back and listened to it again, and then I realised what he meant was, "a couple of months <b>(before 1.0)</b>". He said the flamethrower would be in "in a month or two" - and that's clearly Alpha status; Beta status means it's feature-complete, and they're ironing out the bugs (not to mention promoting pre-orders via their site).
    He said the current Alpha is 30% of the game (in terms of features, I'm guessing).

    So their schedule goes something like this...
    - Alpha (currently at 30%); roughly weekly updates: ironing out bugs, gradually including features (models, maps, etc.)
    [unknown amount of time; my guess: a year and a half]
    - Beta (feature complete); some sort of announcement/campaign to boost pre-orders and sales prior to release, ironing out last batch of bugs prior to release.
    [two months]
    - 1.0 : Steam Store, addition of a map or two in celebration...
    [working exclusively on NS2 for a year?]
    ~ More updates to NS2...
    [the future, something new in the works? but NS2 still being supported and updated.]
