Hey Dudes,
is there a release date of this game?
I bought the premium version of ns2 for the first day it was able to and i dont got a release date...
The Engine is done, right?
Maybe some math to do for weapons and scripting for buildings and envirment stuff, right?
We need Models for each creature or thing in Ns2, right?

If this is all, you have to be able to give us a release date. I paid for this game and i want to know a release date, maybe not for the full version but you have to know about a alpha version.

Im really getting angry about youre definition of an alpha state of a project.
If im reading and following the twitter it sounds like that you are allready in the alpha state: You got the engine, you got the basics, what more do you need to have a alpha state????
I like to repeat myself: I PAID FOR THIS GAME ABOUT MANY MONTHS AGO AND THERE IS STILL NO RELEASE DATE!!!!!

    Hey mate, I would suggest that you read some other threads, as there have been many created that are virtually asking the same thing as you.

    In short, keep waiting. Everyone wants to get there hands on NS2, but its out of our hands. End of story.

    Relax man...
    Ther is always delays in game making. And if you looked at the rest of the board you would see that you aren't the first one that have asked for a release date.
    So. I kinda understand that you need to get your frustration out, but it's the wrong way you are doing it...

    Even i want a release date, but i have understanding that it takes time to make a game, and just because you "know" that they just need modeling, scripting, etc Doesn't necessary easier to set a release date.
    Plus there is no need to get angry that wont help you in getting a release date.

    Regards
    Matrix
    PS: i also bought premium

    ANOTHER ONE!? I feel like they should release a fake NS2 just to keep these whiners happy...then secretly work on the GOOD NS2 for those of us who actually have patience. I didn't pay for this game because I wanted it in Fall, I paid for it because I wanted a great game, and if that takes till next year...then $40 well spent in my book.

    FK oath JAmazon. Sadly, these threads are becoming way, way too common these days. Ugh.

    It's about 5 threads down from time of me posting this, it isn't hard to read.

    I'm so tempted to start a new thread about this every day just to troll around...

    They are really focused on finish it, so timeline is like:

    0.- Debug, debug, debug
    1.- Alpha (when it's done)
    2.- Beta (if all goes well with alpha, soon after point 1)
    3.- Release (again, if all goes well with points 1 and 2, soon after them)

    (I know there are other things, I'm making it really short because I'm lazy today)

    Developing a game is not easy. People think that you can blow and make bottles, but it involves a lot more than that. And if in the process you find way too better things to do (read add to) to the game, then it takes a little longer, but is good for the game as it will be better.

    And if you find engine bugs, that is priority. You don't want to release a game with a buggy engine ( yes, I know ). Lets say this, wait until december 1, and if that day the game is not here (al least alpha), then we all start winning. And read it well, I'm not saying that we should wait 1 year, I say 1 month (and a half).
