What Is The Latest ETA?

Post by tgb »

I'm more interested in this than WitP:AE. I know you guys have been hard at work, but any realistic estimate of a release date?

to be honest ?

I got no idea

we waiting on the next version of the manual, if that passes, it should be sent off , and then we hand over our work, hopefully with the last patch I been waiting to test

the Manual stuff is the real hangup now, first pass, meant most of the Artwork needed to be corrected, 2nd pass, not enough info

toss in the real world and all the screws up that brings with it, and we miles behind

nobody talks to me anymore, I think because all I do is scream at them

My understanding is that when the manual is finished the game will go into production. Matrix won't set a release date until all the pieces are finished, but unless bad luck continues to strike, it shouldn't take more than a few more weeks to complete a manual. So they are very close, but as the past month has shown, it's not over till it's over.

thanks Joel

as far as I know, I am suppost to get the next draft this morning or tonight (and since it is past morning already, got to hope on tonight)

we get the changed in and it makes sense, we should be closer to being done


and again, if it wasn't for the fact that it would be boring, this would make a good movie

I wonder how bad it is that I just got back from a two week trip to Germany and after seeing how few buildings in Frankfurt are actually old as, opposed to built to look old I just reinstalled the old game so I can bomb Frankfurt like it was historically.

we are looking at the finished manual, and making corrections to it (don't know why it would be called the final, when it needs to be corrected first, but it is looking much better)

we are closer then we were, but still can't really say how much longer, most of the stuff on our end is done, so in a bit it will be tieing in there stuff with our stuff and handing it over

So I see the final manual for AE is litterally on a boat comming from China.   (Matrix posted the information.)  Is the manual here on the same boat?

This game only has a PDF manual. The manual you are talking about is WITP AE

And then you sent it away to get it done HS? Come on, you could have done it yourself, not like you are busy or anything [:D]
