If it is released in June, you don't want to buy it. It can't possibly be ready by then. I'd expect a delay until September if they are at all rational about having a completed product on the CD.

Interesting. I doubt you are joking (why would you), so i guess something is not quite as shiney and fun and lovely as some ppl say it is.

... not shiney?!?!

It doesn't mean things are not nice or shiny, but that Space Empires is a complex game with a lot of options so a lot of work needs to be done finding bugs and making sure that most of the options that everyone expects are implemented and work well.

Well, you might not even be supposed to speak about your NDA, so that would be a clear violation. Do you have a preference for the time and place of the suing? There's a pretty nice court in Little Rock, with upscale facilities just a few hundred metres away. Summer in Arkansas isn't a great idea, though, so you should wait for Autumn.

So, you should practice denying that you even have a NDA in the first place. You know, "I have not had sexual relations with that woman"... okay, that was the wrong line, but you get the idea. So, did you ever have a legal relation with Mr Aaron Hall? Mmh?

Actually, I'd prefer to be sued someplace a little nicer...Tahiti perhaps? Maybe Tonga.

"I did...er...did not have sexua...um...contractual relations with that company?"

Well, I hope that SEV would be released in June. That's already a date that has been delayed. I remember last summer we were hoping that it would be out for Christmas 2005. It's got to be close to completion by now; the beta tests have been going on for about a year now.

Take as much time as possible. I already laid out my cash for Dominions 3. I can't take too many hits at one time...

Yimboli · #9 May 12th, 2006, 10:37 PM

Caduceus how is dominions 3? i'm looking for something to hold me until SE5 - i can only play multiplayer civ4 when peter is around and hes 3 hours time difference!

As for the release, anyone that has ever been in a product management position can sympathize with Aaron, who *may* be forced now to make a decision: release an unfinished product or delay again to release it properly? Either decision pisses someone off. I wouldn't wanna be in his shoes with so many expectations riding on his shoulders...

but then again it'd be worth it to be able to see SE5 early!!!! =D

No game is worth seeing 'early'.
I'll wait patiently until Spore arrives, very patiently.
