**Bebbe** · June 24, 2008, 05:21 PM

Aha ! That's another month, you all.

**Conradgeneral** · June 24, 2008, 05:27 PM

I´m stuffed with work at college right now, that month will just fly away. Do you have a date or something to be specific? end of july, mid july?

**apple** · June 24, 2008, 05:30 PM

Maybe before the world ends, just maybe.

Well seriously, we dont know ourself.
Hope that answers your question.
Enjoy Rs 1.5a, while you waiting, thats what hundreds of Rs fans already do

but thanks anyway, splendid work so far

by "another month", he doesn't mean "one month left until the release" it means every time you ask, we'll push back the release date a month from when you ask, even if the release date is in the distant future - so for example, if you ask on october 8th when it's coming out, and we're planning on releasing on october 9th, we'll push back the date to november 9th as a punishment, comprendé?
by asking us just now, you've stopped the release for a month, even if divine intervention allowed us to finish the mod by tomorrow.

Either way, it's done when it's done, but we're PROBABLY gonna get it out before Christmas. That's a reasonable date, I think, given what we have done and what we still have left to do...

Bebbe stop that !

Ok. Conrad . We not sure either.
Look at all the previews of the new factions, those are done.
Kinda gives you an idea of our progress .

Tone & his team are working, daily on units of the remaining factions.
Battle map work is almost finished.
Campaign map still has many things to do.
Working also on Free people skinning all over the map.
Music , loading screen shots, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect..and ect.

Then all the work in balance and getting it into the game.

Plus testing this would be another month before we give it out.
So.. you see... we don't know.
We are trying before January of next year to finish. 2009

One small example OK.

Research and design
Tone makes a model.
We either go for it, or beet it up.

Then he redoes it ..

and still sometimes we beet it up to heck.

Then he fixes it. We agree. and the others skinning it into other factions .
OR Tone skins it. So sometimes they get done 10 to 15 units a week .
Thats when all skinners are working.
Then after that faction is finished. you have to put it into the game.
So you can understand why they get touchy when you ask.
Is it finished yet ?
But believe me, look at all the previews and discussions .
Plenty has happened since your being gone.

Til then enjoy RS 1.5

**Conradgeneral** · June 24, 2008, 06:16 PM

just asking as I didn´t see anywhere a possible release date.

anyway thanks for the help

I´ll give 1.5 a try

Most of the 'pieces' of the mod are approaching the final stages, but we have yet to put them all together, which will take some weeks, and then begins the testing, which will take some more weeks. But rest assured that work continues at a rapid pace...

**rory o'kane** · June 25, 2008, 05:18 AM

indeed - once the units are done, we've got to get units into the game, sort out unit cards, sort out our building trees (squid and Gotthard are doing some amazing stuff with the code - far beyond my comprehension of course, but i know it'll be worth it in the end), and a few other bits and bobs that we're looking at...
DVK's sorting out the terrain AND cobbling the whole lot into a cohesive whole - and we've got to finalize the map as well. once all that's done, the Beta testing begins, which will take weeks to balance the factions' units and their starting positions and regions etc. IF we decide to put any script in (which is unlikely, and it'd probably be very minor), that'd have to go in as well. So, lots to do!

Just me, or is swhunter the most charitable team member? Were this the middle ages, he'd be tossing coins to beggars.

...while the rest of the team stole their shoes
