Title: COME ON WHEN DO WE PLAY
Post by: Lesaron on October 24, 2002, 12:17:35 am
I\'VE BEEN REALLY PATIENT NOW (3 DAYS :O ) AND I WANNA PLAY PLANESHIFT.
WHEN WILL THE FULL VERSION COME OUT?
Title: I'm really sorry to tell you this...

...but if your limit of patience is 3 days, you are not going to make it until the full release comes out.  It is likely that we will not see a substancial version for at least another year or two (as far as I recall reading from some thread awhile ago).

The real question is, when is Molecular Blue coming out?  Actually, I\'m interested too if anyone has an estimate.

lol, 3 days from tech alpha to retail...dude, someone has more ADD than I do.  Go look at shadowbane, closed final beta phase for like at least a year now.  You have alot of waiting to do from a tech alpha to retail(although...this is free, so the term \'retail\' is more of a short was to say \'when the game is finnaly polished+released\')

Uh, you seem pretty dumb to think that a game can be made and completed in three days...

Try making your own game and come back to talk to us when you find out how much time it takes to program and to make the art for it.

Look, Lesaron. The next version of PS \'SHOULD\' come in 1-2 months. But that\'s not even Beta! So you\'ve got a long waiting time, and as someone just said (kinda didn\'t get the name), if your patience doesn\'t last longer than 3 days, you\'ve got a serious problem (not the exact quote but close) :D

Come back in 2 months, and you might see a new version. Don\'t expect too much from a volounteer Development Team. It takes time...

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (turned on the caps)
I\'ll rephrase it for you!

I was surfin the net when i found this site. The graphics were really neat, and it was free!  So i made my account and everything and started it up, and it never worked.
So all i wanna know i when i can get the next version (1-2 months thnx Gronomist :D )

THE 3 DAYS THING WAS A JOKE

i\'m glad ur laughin tho!

You did not say next release, you said FULL VERSION...which is why you got the response you did

Just playful mockery...

Just since this post is about dates and times and stuff, I thought I\'d stick in my question.

When is there expected to be a Macintosh version?

I know it\'ll be after Molecular Blue (why is it called that anyway?) but I just want an estimate.  (6 months? 9 months? 3 years?)

At the moment none of us use Macintosh so we cannot build Mac packages.  But the Crystal Space engine is very portable and already works on Macs.  So all that is needed is somebody to make sure that the PS source code works on a Mac ( most of it should ) and build the appropiate packages.

Post by: Aruneko on October 26, 2002, 03:11:19 am
Ah, well, I hope it comes out soon.  I\'m a Mac user.

Please try to find any Macintosh-using programmer-type people.

I guess my estimate of 3 years was probably right :) ... ;(

Freak...!
Do you read anything?
Have you took one glance at previous messages?

Post by: Lesaron on October 28, 2002, 01:35:36 am
So u guyz know when the BETA version will come out?

Anyone?
Title:
Post by: kyalin on October 28, 2002, 01:41:07 am
it wont be out for a long time, u should prolly find somethin to do in the meantime.
Title:
Post by: Kiern on October 28, 2002, 02:03:03 am
yea, it will be long enough til we get full alpha :P


EDIT: oh yea, whatever was decided about the closed beta thing? i know it probably isnt decided yet, but ya gotta be leaning toward something :D
Title:
Post by: Link on October 28, 2002, 05:30:21 am
I would say about 5 or 6 months untill Beta at the rate we are going. Maybe Longer.

Post by: Vengeance on October 28, 2002, 06:46:40 am
We are hoping to have Molecular Blue out by the end of November (1 month or so).  We\'ll see what happens.

They asked for Beta, MB isn\'t going to be beta is it, more like  a Alpha?
Title: molecular blue
Post by: rathma on December 03, 2002, 12:32:15 am
so the full version will be years to come and molecular blue will be out shortly. Will there be combat enabled on molecular blue to keep us busy for a couple of years \'till the full game is out? ?(
Title: Aaaagh!!
Post by: Aruneko on December 03, 2002, 12:51:59 am
Molecular Blue will not even be alpha, there are NPCs to talk to and items to use and places to walk around, but nothing else!  No battle, no travel.  It\'ll come when it comes, no telling when, so be patient.  It is free after all.

I hope everyone reads this post so the questions will end!!

Post by: Aduin on December 03, 2002, 02:12:01 am
I couldn\'t agree more Aruneko. I\'ve only been here 2 days, and it already pisses me off when people post questions asking about info that is on the main page of the site! Don\'t people know how to read anymore?

Post by: Fiere on December 03, 2002, 02:16:29 am
I think a large part of it is a general shift of people towards expecting everyone else to do the footwork for them. People actually get ticked off when they have to put forth effort these days so much so that it even affects discussions on video games!

*sigh* Sad but true Fiere. It\'s a shame to see what level of lazyness people can acheive.

ppl r still reading this thread?
cool

Post by: Vengeance on December 03, 2002, 04:17:31 am
Maybe instead of doing their work for them, posts that are *this* redundant should just be ignored and not answered at all.  Would that send the right message?  I think it would certainly be the punishment fitting the crime.

It\'s up to the community to do that if they want though.  I\'m not going to enforce it by modding.

Ugh.. 3 years.. *goes into hibernation for 3 years*

Ive been here for.. erm... *looks at date registered* October this year :) So, in case you can\'t do the math, or just cant really be bothered, Ive been here 3 months :).

Post by: Aruneko on December 04, 2002, 10:30:30 pm
What, are you a Mac user too, Veretta?
Title: 2 years!?!?
Post by: rathma on December 07, 2002, 08:25:13 pm
I\'m with Lesaron, i\'ve almost waited as long as him(2 days) and if this game is really gonna take 2 years i\'ll be playing asherons cal 4 by then  ; 8o
Title:
Post by: Golbez on December 07, 2002, 08:29:16 pm
So what? PS will be much better than any Asheron\'s Call out there, and it\'ll be free :P
Title: interesting
Post by: rathma on December 07, 2002, 08:34:00 pm
yes your very right it is free, but if i save up money for about a year i\'ll have more than enough money to buy the game and also have another year or so to play the game before PS actually releases.  :P
Title:
Post by: Fiere on December 07, 2002, 08:38:41 pm
True Rathma but buying the game isn\'t the end of the money spending. Every expansion costs another $30 a pop plus many of these games have subscription fees.

I\'ve paid for Everquest and many expansions and enjoyed the game quite a bit but I came looking for Planeshift, or something like it, for a reason. It\'s not only the fact that PS is free that makes it attractive, but the community as well.

Post by: [shem] on December 11, 2002, 06:48:46 pm
i have been waiting for only about a month

but i am willing to wait 5 years if thats what it takes, because i feel this game will blow everyone\'s mind
(plz dont prove me wrong lol)
Title: wow
Post by: Lesaron on December 12, 2002, 04:25:45 pm
HEY COOL!
People are still writing in this thread!
GET A LIFE!
(not that i mean any offense)
But still, I wrote this before I knew anything about game designing/making and now that I do, I\'ve become wiser and learned to keep my ass shut, which is usually where I speak.
Sorry if i offended any individual of the DEV team. :D
