Wasn't there going to be an announcement in September?

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

There might be issues with the transition of Windows platforms. From Win7 to Win8 for instance.
Just a thought. [&:]

Well, while I realize that you need it to work on the windows 8 platform, I myself won't be going to windows 8. No need for it really, what I've got works fine...since I use a big ol' clunky desktop. The touchscreen stuff is useless for me, I can't reach my screen from where I sit at my desk (a big screen too close to you is bad on the eyes).

I'm one of those that is about to by a couple extra copies of Win 7 in case I ever need them. [;)]

I'll be posting some news before the end of October. Elliot and I have been working our butts off. [8D]

Keep up the good work guys. I don't think you have to rush though, most of us here just bark, we're not rabid. [;)]

Also, working your butts off, doesn't that make it hard to sit? [:D] [:'(]

Yeah, yeah, bad joke I know. [:)]

As long as it works on XP and sorts out some of the problems and adds a few more I dont mind the wait [8|]

I use XP as well still Darkspire. But our testing team must test ALL of the platforms that Elliot will
list that the game will run on. WinXP SP3, Vista (Yuck!) Win7 and Win8. must all be tested due to
the many idiosyncrasy's between them all ( Single core, Dual Core, Quad Core, DirectX 10 & 11, I
could go on...). [:(]

@Jpwrunyan
Adding even one new problem is unacceptable!
Too bad there are no PERFECT programmers out there in 4X games (although Elliot comes close)
Shields are useless in "The Briar Patch"...

Thanks for all the work! [:)][8D]

That's always good to hear...as long as your butts can recover from it.

Just one caveat to my comment above - I'll post more info before November, as long as we have electricity and internet here after Hurricane Sandy passes through.

But whatever happens, save the Distant Worlds stuff!!!

j/k - all the best, and batten down the hatches. And make sure that DS stuff is safe as soon as you are sure all the people are. [;)]

Yeah, it's a biggie. Already wet and windy here (NYC) and the storm is still 12 hours or more out. And I live a block and a half from the mandatory evacuation zone! [X(]
