What's the Delay?

Hmmmm... by my calculations (based on the conjecture above) that puts 1.0 out around Thanksgiving! Definitely something to be thankful for!

I know what I'm getting ME for Christmas!!!!

I'm 99% sure that Thanksgiving is overly optimistic, since that's less than 2 weeks away. I'll put together a post this weekend that details what's left between now and the official V1.0 release. So stay tuned...

Massively lofty goal on their part, and I fully predict that there's going to be a bug-fix shortly after launch, but I'm also pretty confident (from personal experience with this software so far as an EA user) that it will do what it says on the tin.

True. I thought it was a bit silly when apply released iOS7, then released an update in less than 10 days.

Although the fall release thing really depends on where you are. On the US calender, the seasons start on the solstices and equinoctes, but outside the US, those are usually the middle of the season. Winter started a week ago in Europe. Just a minor technical nitpick.

Where did you get the information on seasons in Europe??? Winter is the 21st of december in Europe as well!!

On topic : can't wait to have more information about the future release date. Keep the good work.

In the country of Europe, all calendars are alike?

Edit: This post was missing something...I think that something was a winky face.

Are all the calendars in the former European colonies the same? (Yes, meant to be humour!)

Thanks bodrin! Now I know the difference between meteorological winter (Dec, Jan and Feb) and astronomical winter (Winter solstice to vernal equinox.) (I was wondering why some people were thinking winter started at the beginning of December. )

That's a real country, just like munchkinland, in fact I think the lollipop guild has an office in Brussels!

Quick note: My computer began having lots of problems (read: repeatedly crashing) last night. So I'm now way behind on getting the promised status update out. I will strive to get that out tonight, provided there are no major issues that derail me further (such as further system crashes).

<fingers crossed>
