Re: Wrath of the Announcement Date
There are only a few "guarantees" in life. One is, one day, you will die. This I can assure you.
The other is that Book III is coming. It will be released. We are just not yet ready to make the formal announcement. Until we get to a place where we feel the interface and overall "look" of the game is in a final form, we don't want to release screenshots.
So, when will the game be released? Let's look at the evidence:
Book I -- 2007
Book II -- 2010
Book III -- 2013 -- This would be a fairly solid guess. I can't promise an exact day or month, but next year should be pretty exciting for all you Eschalon fans. Our apologies to anyone who anticipated a 2012 release.
We are working right now on getting the Book III page ready on the website. No promise on the exact day of the forthcoming announcement.
What does everyone want for dinner?

Well maybe I'll still have some teeth left when it is announced. I've been grinding them for some time.
I'd like Taurax steak, medium rare with a baked potato and a slice or two of Yambi (?) berry pie with ice cream.
Just to keep the dinner Eschalon related.

Some salted fish (Baasilt fish if you can afford it) with a therish tuber and phase hunter legs. Served with dwarvish mellowleaf for "the taste". Biscuit ration for dessert.BasiliskWrangler wrote:What does everyone want for dinner?
No, let's make it the 3rd of November. That would be one hell of a birthday present.Jedi_Learner wrote:The 19th of November?

Re: Wrath of the Announcement Date
This is actually great news. Another solid year or so of development should produce a detailed, balanced, fun game. Looking forward to Book III, thanks for the update BW!!

Re: Wrath of the Announcement Date
Honestly, I have such a huge backlog of old games to get through anyway, I don't mind waiting for Book III.
Actually, at the rate I'm going, I'll be lucky to have finished my backlog before Project Eternity is released!

Have the 'bugs' in v1.05 of Book II been fixed yet?
I know you needed to fix the Book II engine bugs before doing major changes to make the Book III engine, so I'm wondering how far along that process is. TIA!
