Yay, release plans yet to be delayed. ;P J/k

I was actually thinking about throwing a post up to ask you about when you were planning the next update, then saw this. XD

5 euros is how much in american dollars?

[Windexglow]

Exchange rate is around 1:2. So $10

Will 0.18 be released with any fixes?

[Captain Deathbeard]

yeah I'm just not predicting them yet.

And 5 euros is closer to 7 dollars

I must say, from what I've seen of the bug-testing preview release, I intend to purchase very early on. I have an ATI card, so I didn't venture far before heading to the forum for the characterSkins.material fix, but I like the simple elegance of the user interface.

So far, I'm just loving everything about Kenshi. It has a developer that's not afraid to speak to his fans and is very talented in game design, it has a very ambitious goal, but far from an unreachable one, should the developer keep interest in his own project, and it's already got a great start. Sure, the first version was riddled with bugs and problems, but it wasn't even intended for an alpha release, so that's entirely understandable. Even with it being as early on as it is in development, it still manages to be fun to mess around with it.


But ya, so, since I hadn't posted on the forums in a while, I thought I'd hop on and ramble on about the awesomeness that is Kenshi to make up for it.

[Zephyr8965]

Herro? Anyone alive?

[War]

Doesn't look like it =P

Though its near the end of the month so hopefully the release cant be to far away

Chris, you are a sexy beast.

[Captain Deathbeard]

Yes. Yes I am.

[Zephyr8965]

Lol, I always find it amusing how much faster you sometimes respond to those posts than others. XD

[Shoelip]

The end is near! If everything's running according to plan the new version should be out any day now! With pathfinding!

[Zephyr8965]

Lies.

[Shoelip]

I don't know about that, but unless he puts it out today it's officially delayed.

[Shoelip]

Damn it sucks to be right...

How are things coming on the release if you can say?

[Captain Deathbeard]

Any day now. Was going to be yesterday but I keep getting hit by last minute bugs.
