I think he was so excited, something inside him just... snapped!

lol.  I definately did not follow that.  I'm pretty psyched too and want details soon and the next beta just as soon, say end of this week?  I wish.

I just remembered some more context.  Apparently they are doing some press right now and there are multiple different builds being shown to different press.  They aare playing on these different builds and trying to see which work best for minor tweaks.  It also sounds like the next map may be 5v5 since they mentioned that they have had some amazing office battles with everyone watching and cheering on a 5v5 map.

Heh heh.

The AUDACITY! Harumph!

nov 1st

Sat???  Not likely.  I am thinking beta 1c, as it was called on irc, will be released next week at latest.

Beta 2 two or three weeks after that.

On irc today, Yarlen confirmed:

"11:56 AM <Yarlen> Won't be this week." (for next beta release)

P.S.  Title should be changed to reflect my hostile takeover of the thread to next beta release and rumor deets.

edit: Title

and

this

  Holy shit.

I clicked on my replies and could not stop laughing for 5 minutes.  Holy shit.

Nice one.

Yeah, I was like uh... I don't remember replying to this. When I got here I had a pretty good chuckle.

Confirmed in another thread:

Beta 1next (my new term since gpg and stardock call it 1c, but we have 1a, so next should be 1b) will not have a pathing fix, but this will be included in the following beta.

hmhmhm.... i predict ... 6 days from now... thatsss..... 04.11.

Thats tomorrow now!

Here's hopeing.

Beta release are supposed to be Thursday, but they discussed moving it to Wednesday so that they would have extra time before the weekend if there was a major problem.  My vote for beta 1next is Wed.

Just wanted to post for those not on IRC, Beta 1next should be released this week.  Per Yarlen:

1:47 PM <Yarlen> There will be something this week.

1:49 PM <Yarlen> Seriously, though, we're hoping to have an update this week.

So there you have it...HOPEFULLY this week.  More info to follow.

Thanks, Trigeminal

The suspense is  me

I want it NAOW!

hope you guys gonna play this time on hamachi. because this beta 1b-1c will nt have online play.  soo stop playing with A.I and go online

I'll be playing online for sure.  Also, Yarlen said he will release developer diary about the release of beta 1next later today.

Us Tampa folk will be playing. Had a mobo issue yesterday but got my second machine up an runnin

Here's hopeing for a release today or tomorrow.

Good News:

So that means today

SPACE PONY!!!!!11

The winners of the betting pool on release date for 1b are *drumroll* Wagnard and Orkimond!!!!  Yay!!!

Here's your prize!!!! [assistant trots pink and friendly little Space Pony out on stage, audience gasps and claps]

See the small print on claiming your prize below:

1.  The contest was actually for Beta 2, so we have to cut your prize in half

[space pony looks panicked]

2.  As there were two winners, we had to split your prize again

[space pony whinnies, poops a bit]

3.  As neither winner chose November 6th alone, we have to divide the remainder as follows: Wagnard chose two dates, so receives 50% of the remainder.  Orkimond chose ten dates, so receives 10% of the remainder.

[space pony does the math, faints]

4.  By accepting Space Pony (tm) or portions thereof, the contestant, and contestant's successors or legal representatives acknowledge that Space Pony Betting (ltd) is in no way liable for any resulting damages or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from said acceptance.

[ke5trel starts rummaging through the stage cupboard for the big saw.  Before he finds it, however, space pony revives, kicks assistant in the face, and flaps away]

5.  [long pause] For purposes of this contest, space pony poop is considered part of the space pony, and the winners are entitled to previously discussed allotments thereof. 

[assistant begins carefully measuring poop, audience claps uncertainly]

Congratulations again, Wagnard and Orkimond!!!!!

wait wait WAIT. I thought this was for Beta 2? Beta 2 isn't out yet! I demand a recount!
