Dominions_3 Update ?? Release?

NTJedi · #1 November 21st, 2005, 10:57 PM

Last word received was Dominions_3 was scheduled for Dec._2005... since we haven't seen any screenshots yet at end of November I expect the release date has been pushed back. That's fine... I've got plenty to keep me busy.

Just wondering if we can get an estimated release date.

i'm strongly in the "when its done" camp

I figure the more time and polish they put into it the better

Its not like they've dissapointed me yet...

When it's done, definitely.

Status reports are still fun to read!

As I originally posted I'm just looking for an update.
If it takes another year or two thats fine... but give us gamers a ballpark timeframe.

The original estimated release was DEC_2005 and big fans are curious where the game currently stands.

The latest official news:

Johan K. on the Modding Commands Brainstorm thread:
"Nice thread. I was just working on getting the modding operational in Dominions III and a mod thread is good for inspiration. Dom 3 is more mod friendly internally which should allow for more moddable things than previously. It is already better than dom2, but I think most of the new potential will have to wait for a patch. Have to finish up the game first."

So, the game is going well, but isn't finished yet. I quess the intenal parts of the game are more or less complete, as some kind of modding tools have already exist. I think there's more than just "the finishing" left, though. But things are proceeding: the patches have been mentioned earlier (as possibilities of Slavic and Finnish nations appearing in a patch), and now came up again... If they have to make a patch, the game will come out before they can incorporate those things in it.

That's a good post Endoperez... unfortunately that still does not provide us with any ballpark timeframe for the release date.
Since we haven't seen any screenshots yet I would say the release has been pushed back from the original DEC_2005.
Perhaps one of the developers can post a ballpark release date.
