Thanks for the update Erik...... no rush at all.
Hope you and the development team are doing well during this pandemic as I know the business I own has been hit really hard this year.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in DW2.

I wouldn't mind even a 2022 release to be honest. Feel like companies push their releases too hard and too early. I often wish they would finish the game, and then spend a much greater amount of time testing and working out the bugs than they usually do. Would give the artists more time to make better graphics too since most of that is aesthetic and not going to conflict with the testing much.

Merry Christmas to us! [:D]

but feel free to complain to get the obligatory, "Things are progressing. We'll have an update soon" post.

Called it. [:)]

When i get the DW munchies i get them pretty hard (ive been playing since release) hell even windows 10 20h2 is behaving itself well, seems to be a bit of an uptick in performance, over the years, with my 5yr old 980ti i7 5820k machine. Dw is a true joy. Like watching a ant colony or something like logistical and infrastructural play out, like plane or boat spotting.
I've been playing it allot the last week, trying to find that balance of what i like, figured i like to tone down gravitic weapons allot so not so many races use it, since i like lazor pew pew more, added a few more races from expanded universe, tempted to try and change the hyperdeny graphics to more of a huey look.
Point is
I really really freaking love Distant Worlds!

Yes, exactly. I do not want to be a beta tester.
Meanwhile, I play other indie games.

For instance "Star Traders: Frontiers" or "Astra Exodus" (from Slitherine). Its interesting and close to MOO2. Even better than at the first look and in my eyes better than the rating.

Considering the absolute PR disaster unfolding with CD Project Red after another Cyberpunk Delay. I say Eric is doing the right thing by not announcing a date.

Sure, he did announce a year of release though, which is now coming to an end.

Glad to hear that we'll have an update in December, let's hope its the release! [:D]

True, though the mistake cyberpunk made was allowing pre-order for the game while delaying the game 3 times in a row. I just feel that is really bad business ethics. Erik has been a lot more honest about the game than so many other gaming companies.

Hi folks,

At the start of the year, a 2020 release seemed extremely certain. While we did make very good progress this year, we are still in alpha and will not release in 2020. In December, I'll be able to reveal much more of the game and talk about our release plans in more detail.

Regards,

- Erik

[Cauldyth]

This has been a crazy year so the delay is understandable.......
