Posted June 13, 2018 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! As I am sure we are all very excited about the release of The Town Square module, and most of us are watching the task list get updated everyday (besides weekends). We are getting veeeery close to the release as there are only 4 objectives left to be done, 2 in progress and in 2 in testing if I remember correctly. When do you believe the module will be released? In the upcoming week perhaps? Perhaps the week after that? Kind regards, Alphoni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2018 Getting it up on Steam takes a week doesn't it? So a week after all the tasks are complete if the payment company don't hold them back more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2018 If a game of this scale was at beta in the relatively short time its been since kickstarter, I would regret funding it. Its 3 years since it was funded through kickstarter, for a new small company to establish themselves and develop a very ambitious game. Yes the original estimated release date should have been much less optimistic, but I wouldn't blame them for worrying that no-one would crowd fund a project 4 years off by a newly forming team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2018 When you purchase a package, you pledge to fund development for an upcoming game that has yet to be released. You can follow progress of the first module included in packages with beta access here: http://www.identityrpg.com/info/modules/townsquare/#tracker 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2018 Considering how fast they are updating their tracker, I'd say they'll be finished with the game within a week, give or take the testing. 1 hour ago, SynC_187 said: Getting it up on Steam takes a week doesn't it?

And as Lightbringer mentioned, when you pledged to this project, you pledged to an upcoming game, not a yet released one. And I don't mind the waiting too much, I'll rather have a perfect game on release, rather than a game that requires updating every other day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have to finish it before they can get it up there, otherwise they then have to queue the next update. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2018 While that would be a more satisfactory thing to do, it sadly doesnt work that way with steam. The team needs to wait for the final update to be ready (the update that completes TS) before they can submit it to steam for review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess we'll just have to wait and see when that'll be done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
