Small Update

Markus Heinsohn · 04-07-2009, 08:45 AM

Hey guys,

as the questions for the release time seem to get more frequent, I think it's a good time for an update from our side.

The game is currently in beta testing, and we're putting the finishing touches on the remaining new features. After that, it's bug fixing time. If all goes well, then we're looking at an early May release. However, things may happen which result in a delay. For example, I was ill for two weeks of the past 4 weeks, so if something like this happens again, the release will be pushed back of course.

We'll keep you posted

Cheers,
Markus

Thanx for the update. That ought'a hold some of the new posters right up to the weekend before they start demanding more information .......

Thanks for the update Marcus, but didn't you fall ill around the time either OOTP8 or 9 came out also? I guess coding OOTP can be hazardous to your health. Maybe we should apply a label saying so to the next release?
