Is GC3 Delayed (Hit Speed Bump)

January 21, 2014 9:40:30 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

After over a month (5 weeks) of any official word in the founders vault and almost no communication since the 1st of the year (3 weeks).

Is the lack of any news bad news?  Did they run into a wall and need to fix something major before resuming the normal process with the development of the game?

Or...

Is the lack of any news Good News.  Is the team hard at work trying to get as much as they can functional for the Alpha release, hopeful to be about a month away?  Is the whole team stuck in a Galaxy far far away battling for the next Galactic Empire, with the new multiplayer option?

Thanks for any update (hoping for a new screen shot or a bone or something)

It is neither good news or bad news. It is simply no news. With the slim clues we have received the External Alpha release could be only a month away, give or take. I would expect them to be focused on getting all of the ducks lined up before giving us our first look at it.

At this point, I think our patience is more important than ever.

No delay.  Just working.  

I'm been traveling a lot so I haven't been around to do journals.  

ETA for the alpha build is still this Winter.

+ Multiplayer

+ Fully playable

Post still says winter for the alpha. If that timeline holds, only the beta folks have to wait until spring.

Well the spring equinox should be different all over the globe, but officially it is March 21. Now about no news in three weeks must mean that they scrapped the whole project took the money and went to Bermuda.

This is why I asked when I lived in the north of Sweden the winter almost stayed into May, in other places winter ends in the end of February. And if you live down under it is actually summer now...

OK. According to Wikipedia, the Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere for 2014 is on March 20 at 16:57 UT (or GMT). However, I can see how in more northern regions it might seem like Spring gets delayed.

Winter by context used here, would be the observance of Winter which is from December 21, 2013 to March 20, 2014, not when it physically appears to be the end of Winter or the begining of Spring.

Per an earlier post by Frogboy, the great leader he is, stated right now it appears to be shooting for early March release for Alpha.  Mind you that still gives a week or two buffer to still hit in the target range of the season of Winter as it's observed.

Yeah, I remember similar springs.

I guess we should call it "spring" when Brad is going to release his bees, shall we call it "fly, my pretties day"?
