When is PlaneShift Going to finally be finished?
« on: July 13, 2003, 12:59:47 pm »
I was just wondering, as are others, when planeshift is finally going to be completed. Now I know there have been other discussions about this but I personnally would like to know when it is really going to come out. I mean there could be things slowing the process or speedening it. I honostly don\'t know. Please if you have any info on this then please respond to this thread or to:


chronokthedumb@aol.com

Sincerely,
CHRONOK


Thank-you

Indeed... I\'ve heard a rough idea that it will be completed in 14+ months time, but I personally don\'t think that can be right... not for a game with so much in promise as Planeshift. I\'d say 2-3 years also.

hmm, yes. 2-3 years sounds reasonable.
Moogie: That idea could be when the next build comes out, after CB?

I assume so. Hey, I\'m sure you\'ve noticed a trend in the naming of each new release (Atomic, Molecular, Crystal). Any ideas what future versions will be named?

Maybe, but not even developers can know these things for sure.
2-3 sounds good to me. Though i wouldn\'t object if they finished it earlier. ;)

EDIT: btw, name for releases after CB? What about Diamond Blue?

Well lets say that the game would be finished in 3 years, that would meen that some people had worked for 5 years on this project, that is pretty much for a non-profit game.

And by 3 years the market will swarm with 3d MMORPGs (not free but they will surely make up a good way to pay and not so expensive as it\'s now).

Even a free game must have a tight deadline IMO.

I would preferre 1-2 years and then when it\'s finished maybe have a year of adding fetueres to maintain the game.

Well they certainly have a lot of ppl cheering them on,
My estimate 6yrs.
(because they\'ll keepworking on it that long, I hope)

No it\'s quark blue of course! :P

My standard reply is that Planeshift will be done right about the time that Linux is done. :-)

Yep, that makes perfect sense, due to the nature of the game (the open-sourceness and all) people can constantly make add-ons to the game even when it\'s done and playable.  And by add-ons I mean something like a person (or a small team) making a whole dungeon with monsters and secrets and stuff and then submiting it and if it looks good putting it up in the game and then if people like it you keep it!  I\'d assume that\'s what the devs have in mind anyway.

Logically the next release will be elephant blue. Think about it:

Atom = Really small
Molecule = Slightly bigger (2 or more atoms put together)
Crystal = A lot bigger (Lots of molecules put together)
Elephant = Ginormous (Too big to be measured in atoms even)

This also makes sense because elephants are blue.
