Is the alpha update out yet?!

Gazing through the window at the world outside.
Wondering will Alpha update survive.
Hoping that Warhorse will stop delaying her, sometime.

After all there’s only just the two of us.
And here we are still fighting for our alpha.
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time.

I’m just a dreamer, I dream my life away.
I’m just a dreamer, who dreams of alpha some day.

Is it safe t think the new alpha won’t be graphically/technically any worse than the previous one?

They’re making optimzations… well once the game is in a stable state again.

Actually the graphics should be better (at least I hope they fixed the creepy “no-eyes” lady"). Now it looks like this lady flips somebody off in the woods who’s offscreen:

damn, even Eminem is anxious for this! ahhh, the power of games

I’m sorry to read that. Not because I can’t play the updated version, but because you guys put so much effort in it and it doesn’t work (as expected). Good luck and may the force be with you :blush:

Just don’t set a release schedule. Give the backers updates about the project when you get something worthwile to share and release new versions whenever it’s comfortable for you. Deadlines for pre-alpha updates is a stupid idea really, and I mean the concept in general, not Warhorse specifically.

Let me quote the Doctor of Payday 2: Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.

On a serious note: You need deadlines. Without them, you’ll basically get no management of the whole project. I deal with deadlines a lot in my job and there have been so many deadlines exceeded for one certain project that no deadline was set anymore. Instead the management said: “We need to do it, it has high priority. ASAP.” When will this project be finished? Nobody knows.

Think about extending the release schedule from two to three months. Every two months, you get an additional delay of one month for each phase of development. If we take one year now (since release date as of now is late 2015), that would have an additional delay of a half year.

Delays are nothing unusual, just take a look at this year. How many AAA titles have been delayed? GTA V for PC, The Witcher 3, Watch Dogs (and that should have been delayed even longer), Tom Clancy’s The Division, Dying Light, Evolve, all titles that just came to my mind. We don’t know how often these games were internally delayed before they were even announced with a release date. We get to experience the background happenings of the industry, we get used to that treatment of additional information and yet we don’t like it. Why is that so? Because of the disappointment we’re getting.

So would it be better to not know any dates? Maybe. But that’s up to Warhorse studios to decide when they’re going to announce and release the Alpha update. Still if you promise something, you’re doing all you can to deliver it.

Well it looks like it doesn’t look good:

Source is Twitter, so it’s better to read from bottom to top. And since I’m going on vacation to my parents I won’t play the game until the last weekend of this year. Meh!

[UPDATE]

Now it’s getting interesting. Anyway: They’re making progress in finding the source (code) of evil!

I think they should delay it to after christmas…(Ofc not if they are very close now, im not working there so I dont know 100% sure the progess…)But according to twitter they have found some of the reasons, but still alot of faults to fix. So I think they should just delay it to after christmas to get it 100% and then change the update every 2months thing to 3-4months…
