Sept 05?

Might I suggest updating the WeWRIS site so that it no longer says that the projected gold date is Sept. 15 (I'm certainly hoping that it no longer is!). If you'll allow me to be a little bit critical it looks unprofessional.

To expand on that theme: It certainly doesn't bother me personally, or many of the other SAIS fans planning on becoming WeWRIS fans, that the game is behind schedule (we want people to put out a game they're proud of), but it's another thing entirely to give us one date and then string us out for over a week before we hear something about what is going on.

Please, take your time, but do at least let us know that we shoudn't be waiting with bated breath for the games release. You're much more likely to make fans out of us if you let us go and then come back than exhausting us waiting for what we half hope/expect is going to be a next day gold.

(BTW, I assume that a demo will be released at about the same time as gold status is announced...?)

I hope I don't sound too harsh,

Funny you should mention, as we just finished the features of the game tonight

However, it still has to be scrutinized, probed and generally poked at by testers. They're the ones who will ultimately decide when it goes gold, but it shouldn't be too long now... Maybe a couple of rounds of bug fixes and then we can all relax.

3-4 *weeks* Are you serious? Is hand crafting involved?

Also, yesterday on the WeWris home page next to the little descriotion boxes (1 player, space, turn-real time hybrid, tec.) was a box of about the same size, but in colour and it was a picture of a bald person (do something maybe, I don't remember). It wasn't in the legend for little descriotion boxes.
It's not there today (and I don't remember it previous to the day I saw it), I'm just wondering what it was.

Anyway lets hope for a demo soon (playing the SAIS demo was almost as much fun as the full game =) after x rounds of bug fixes (I have no idea how long a round of bug fixes takes unfortunately... )

Shrapnel Games is having a contest where a certain image is hidden somewhere on their website, users that find it may win a prize. THAT's what the new icon in the description of weird worlds was a few days ago.
