<\/p>\nGah! this may be the year I dump firefox, its bugginess and post-eating crashiness is finally starting to try my patience… Anyway I am in crunch mode. I know that in theory indie devs do not crunch, but GSB2 was originally scheduled for a December 2014 release. That became January, January became February and now I am targeting the end of March. And although that sounds four weeks ago, in game-shipping terms it is only a few days of work away and this is why…<\/p>\n
I want to be PC+Mac+Linux capable on release day and I need time for the port to be done.<\/p>\n
I want to have *at least* French + German versions on day one and they need time to do the translations…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Plus…I have a bunch of ideas\/tweaks\/improvements from the beta to put in *before* I declare it ready for any of that. And then… even more timing related angst because I am going to both GDC<\/a> and Rezzed<\/a> between now and release. MADNESS<\/strong>. (I have to attend both, because I’m speaking at GDC and also showing off GSB2 and Big Pharma<\/a> at Rezzed…). This might work out ‘ok’ because with luck, people will be working on translations and\/or mac builds whilst I’m at these things, which is at least something that can get done while I’m busy smiling at people at shows.<\/p>\n Anyway…<\/p>\n There is also some other stuff to dop, such as extra ship module graphics for variants and also steam trading card stuff. And of course a lot of testing and general QA\/Polishing. Even as I type this, I’m starting to think *cliff you are nuts…it will not ship in March, FFS get a grip and let it slip a few more weeks*.<\/p>\n Arggh,<\/p>\n Anytway, if you can’t wait (and who can!) you can grab the current build of GSB2 when you pre-order-the-game here!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gah! this may be the year I dump firefox, its bugginess and post-eating crashiness is finally starting to try my patience… Anyway I am in crunch mode.
