Work on Dom II began from the last version of Dom I (1.something) and ended with 2.06 IIRC.
So work on D3 has propably begun from the last DII patch and will go to at least version 3.00 before it is released.
Of course this is just my speculation and observation.

Re: It\'s June, are we close to gold?
Yeah I also had the same idea, I guess the final product will be v3.00+ .. and the latest is 2.80 
I think that we wont see our Doms III. copy before mid july.

I know very little about game development, but I think version numbers do not proceed linearly, so when the Illwinter thinks the game is ready they might skip alot of decimals. It may seem that the game is slowly making progress, but that can also mean there's only bug killing and beta testing left. But with a high probability, I'm utterly wrong.

Maybe, but so far they've been quite linear.

Re: It\'s June, are we close to gold?
Okay, I have to admit that I'm always fanatically optimistic about these things, so I often tend to get disappointed, when waiting something to be published.

Re: It\'s June, are we close to gold?
Gold wont mean we see our copies. I think it just means that Shrapnel gets a "ok I think this is good to release" copy. Then they start on the production and delivery so its abit later that we see our games.
But with gold, we should soon after that see a demo. Im really eager to see a demo released. That will start alot of good conversations all over the net. We can all decide if we want to swarm out onto the net shouting its praise

I know that. That's why I'm eager to see the game go gold because I know a demo will follow shortly thereafter. |
