All estimates are dangerous, as they create expectations and thus, the possibility of being disappointed.
The game development is moving along at a rapid pace though, and the ideas for parts not programmed yet are pretty fleshed out already. :) If I was the developer I'd say "When it's done, but not in a Duke Nukem sense.". ;)

Let's hear what Daffy or Zeussy has to say on this.
/Cheers!

Re: Date of Release

If you'll be taking preorders within a couple weeks how has that changed?

Re: Date of Release

Depends, the more sucessful the preorders the better, we would like to spend a year of actual full time work on it and that would get us most if not all the way I would expect. We won't quote release dates as we don't have an accurate idea ourselves :)

Re: Date of Release

We'd love to, and we know some amazingly talented folk but we can't afford to pay what they're worth (at least not at the moment)

Re: Date of Release

We'd never want to not pay people for work on something that will make us money - we can't currently afford to pay many people, and if we offered a share of the profits we might not be able to afford to make future games.

Nup, for now its just us I think!

Re: Date of Release

Glad to see you found my thread over at CamaroZ28.com Daffyflyer! I'd preorder this game today if it was an option.
