Good Evening.
I am Jaimez Bling, owner of OmegaElheats Entertainment, Ltd. :D
I have to say that I am very impressed with your Planeshift game. Very well done, my friends! \\o// My employees / members, who work alongside me, have heard me talk about it and have asked me how they could play it, too. So I said, "Just download it, it's free." They say, "Free!? You must be joking!" I say, "Nope, absolutely free. But, don't download it now, because there will be a new version soon, and you'll be wasting your bandwidth downloading it twice. They say that the new release will be in about a week"...Well...Guess not.
See, I'm worried that I'm going to waste my time downloading the 0.3.018 version and the .019 version coming out right after that, forcing me to re-download Planeshift. And, I do not have very good internet access. (Stupid Satellite... :( )
So, I ask you, when will the next release (0.3.019) be available to download? I hope sometime soon, my guild is wondering where I am... :'( :o
Heh. Cheers!

We keep hoping we'll have it ready one weekend.. :) I don't think we can give any guarantees. Some issues keep popping up, and while we keep solving them, the going is sometimes slow. So, let's hope either next Saturday or Sunday we will have the .019 client available.
-
Ah, not this weekend at least. But keep spreading the word!
-
mistress kayruu, the answer is always... soon(tm)
-
I am glad that we finally heard sth esle then soon(tm)
-
Ha, alright. At least I won't be missed for too much longer \\o// 8)

Doesn't matter much for me, because I am a patient man, and I wait forward for version 0.4, because that one surely will bring significant changes, and a week or two more on delay to release a single version will matter very little for the big picture and long-term scenario.
Specially because incremental changes on the form of x.x.xx1 to x.x.xx2, for example, usually are nothing more than some bug fixes and minor additions. And of course, anything beyond 1.0 is either "Service Pack" or "Expansion Pack", whatever sounds more fancy to the marketeers.
-
hehe one delay would matter little, but ofcourse if it's something that happens with several updates the numbers are going to add up to quite a few weeks. Not to mention that some of the devs are probably getting somewhat annoyed with these things popping up. Nothing more annoying when something doesn't work when it should ;)
-
Even though I only log into planeshift once I a while now to kick around with some ld huants, I still love watching the expansion of the game so as ever i will wait dutifully with a dozen other Mac users for the Mac release :D Luckily I have many games to keep me occupied.

Lol, I stopped hoping so far. :o :'(
-
Mmm...still a week after you said that... :(
-
I made no promises :) Hang in there, guys. For one, the more it is delayed, the more content our art team jams into the release. We already have a lot more to show you than we had originally planned, so it's going to be worth the wait.

While poking around in Karyuu's sig. I find possible .019 improvements ;D

Woah, better looking gobbles. Not exactly new content, but I always hope a creature update means we'll see more of that creature.
-
If you look inside npcs.zip in the art directory of your PS install, you'll notice that this gobble skin (and one more) is already there :) These textures were completed a long time ago, and have simply been waiting to be put to use.
-
Awesome! A blue nightcrawler gobble!
There's a whole heap of stuff here. I could be in this zip file for a while.

Sorry, but there is no Chernobyl or Three Mile Island nuclear powerplant on Yliakum, neither there are nukes and overall WMDs.

are you absolutely 100% sure? :devil:
-
So that tall structure by the north entrance is a Cooling tower?? Well that makes sense, with all the people that keep on jumping off of it, a lethal dose of radiation sure makes for a sensible argument as to why they think they can fly.
One cooling tower though, don't you think that's kind of dangerous? ... I think I'm moving to BD with its water turbine power generator.
-
Looking forward to .019 and I'm glad to hear that it's not being rushed. With us being allowed to continue using .018 in the interim, there's nothing to complain about really :)
As for radioactivity in Yliakum... Granite!?!?
-
Surely there is no need for nuclear power in Yliakum, since all power comes from the crystal. This power source is proving perfectly adequate (as far as I am aware) so there is no need for additional power, from any source.
-
Well we get our power from the sun. What we have is never enough. Their might be a lot of radon gas in Yilakum. Its is underground after all. Also the whole thing about the gods expanding an under ground cavern they found sounds like a lot of atoms might have had a splitting ;)
-
I don't believe that the Crystal generates electricity, now does it?
Therefore, we need nuclear power ;D
-
Magic takes its power from the crystal in different ways, some more directly than others. Who knows how the crystals energy could be harnessed in the future of Yliakum.
-
Well, what kind of problems ARE you having? Is there any way I can help? ???
It's been three weeks since you said "we'll hopefully have it out by next week". I mean, seriously... :thumbdown:
Response appreciated. :woot:
-
It was not a promise, nor an estimate. It was a hope :) This is precisely why we don't share ETAs on release dates normally - something can always come up and then the playerbase would end up feeling disappointed. Several devs are either on vacation or finishing up the last of their work, so it's slow going. Currently there are some issues with containers that prevent the release from going public, and fixing them is the team's #1 priority.

You can delay it for July then if necessary! Better to wait more than to have it with critical bugs, I don't want this new version marked with a new container-based "duping-fest" and with the drastic measures taken to fix the economic disaster it makes.
-
You told me that already, Karyuu.
I was trying to ask if I could help in any way. ???
-
Not unless you can code and fix bugs :)
-
There are many players able to code and fix bugs, you might just need to ask them.......?
-
If someone is interrested in fixing bugs he should just download the source and start hacking. If the patches are good submitting is a piece of cake :)

I thought coal power stations came long before nuclear
-
You are gussing if there is nuclear power?....
Thanks to eletiy it was found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems to be an evil :devil: female Ynnwn using the power of crystal apples and good hot pies directly under the Laanx statue..... :surrender:

Better take care what you are doing, the flames will reach on the plaza one day!!!! ;D

I know who that ynnwn is, you don't, but I can't control it neither, so that doesn't help me.....

Considering the two things the the Ynnwn is wielding on her hands... (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Hammer_and_sickle.svg/50px-Hammer_and_sickle.svg.png)
:whistling: ... I can guess this has something to do with Chernobyl, or perhaps... Now to the barricades comrades! Once the magical flames of the Communism reach Hydlaa, they will spread all over Yliakum and awaken the teemed masses of The People to revolt against their oppressors. And then, the revolution will begin!
Or perhaps................... Another disaster like Chernobyl will occur. ???
Watch out for the Evil Commie Ynnwn of Doom!
Hope version 0.3.019 comes before such cataclysm happens.
-
yeah, terrible things happen down there /me makes a face like when she saw a ghost
And sometimes the nuclear powers are so strong that you fall trought the crystal...
Greetings Eletiy
