I would like to know when b* comes out. Any people knowing when it will come out please posts your answers.
It will be either may or june.
You now when it cmes out? Yea right
It was said that they are in "pre-alpha" testing, so really nobody knows.
STS will let us know, for now all we can do is be patient.........
Patience ! ....ack ...look what happened to Cinco .....went completely loco.
I can't wait till it comes out...
The date is important......your fellow humans will need that to put in your epitaph HA HAHAHA HA HA
What is the day
hmm i think i like PL more
The saint was only trying to help and he gave the right info too.
The only info we have is b* will be out in Q2 of the year.
the year is split in to quarters
Q1 january-march
Q2 april-june
Q3 july-september
Q4 october-december
all game developers use this format to release games without a specific date
im sure its not too far away and it will be announced on this forum before release.
Good call Thugimmortal, the quarter thing isnt used much in Europe, like the semester, trimester too, only in certain industries.
Reason Dev's (in pretty much all industries) use the Q method is because narrowing them down to more than that is a chore, project tracking over multiple games and with many variables can be very difficult, and would literally require staff dedicated to just that purpose. The environment created by such micromanagement isnt one any developer wants to work in and is counter productive to creativity.
A concept can be proven technically in the initial planning stages but real world environments bring in a host of variables its almost impossible to foresee. Some industries do use more accurate tracking and estimating but often fail to meet a deadline, in customer service terms its seen as much better to estimate quarters than a month or even a day, and so more likely to deliver the goods on time.
With the STS situation that becomes ever more complex when targetting multiple platforms, producing a cohesive storyline and credible plots, balancing ongoing development of PL, evaluating art and storylines, gauging market popularity for new releases, contract negotiations, testing gameplay, planning future patches and usual business maintenance tasks.
Some could argue that software is out there to track project process's and estimate more accurate dates but it would also need persons just dedicated to analysis and quality control and with something like PL/B* that would be a very fluid process, difficult to pin down. I would guess STS's focus has been to get really talented dev's onboard as a priority and that has certainly paid off with the success of PL.
They could probably give us more accurate dates but that would need more staff which means Ellie in Forest Haven would be charging a way LOT more for potions as plat income for STS would need to increase.
'Just my 2 plats' :)
I cant wai :)
[QUOTE=Ovocotto;306521]I cant wait:)
OMG IM GOING CRAZY WHEN IS IT COMING OUTTTT!! im gunna beat everyone to lvl 25.......... maybe
My brother and I used to play Federation so I'm very excited. Gotta get more work done, so I'll have more play time :)
If u r banned in PL will u be banned in b*?
Yes, they ban you from all their games. But, they ban your actual device, so unless you buy a whole new device or have two you can't do much :(. The Devs want bad people to be banned from all their games so they don't have to worry about the same problems later.
Thats From SamhayneQuote:
No, device bans are all Spacetime Studios games.
Bad people= Baddie :3
I wish it would come out today
Bad people comprise a very small percentage of the player base. It's amazing how much trouble you remove just banning a small number of people. Device bans are pretty cool. Much harder for troublemakers to come back.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with a computer-based version...
Anyways, did the interview say opening in the summer? Guess it could still be late June.
I wonder if they could at least share how much lead time we will have when they announce it. Will they just surprise us when it appears in iTunes? or tell us when they submit it, or something even sooner? I'd be happy just knowing a date I can mark on the calendar.
I'd be happy to hear a date, too. But that's the trick, devs can only give a time period = wider margin of error = more realistic because usually actual development time > expected development time.
Bet they have a lot on atm. But last info was still on course for June, although pre-alpha sounds early still and marketing might push back too. Still we have info dumps, press releases, promotions and footage and interviews all to come, right devs?! Throw us a :banana: !
Well that leaves only june lo
JustG on the podcast mentioned the possibility of a PC version towards the end of the year in the fall, so sounds like they have a plan in place.
*thinks..........Cause they are playing on that right now in their offices........probably laughing at us and enjoying the game,.....feasting on the content, jumping with joy as they marvel at the gameplay and patting themselves on the back for their acomplishments, laughing and happy .......oblivious to the dark shadows circling high above them, the forum users. Circling waiting for their moment, gazing downwards at the tiny developers faces below them, flexing their strong talons and making their voices be heard, screeching as their patience wears thin. The cloud grows in size and numbers.
Scorn and rivens are going down!!!! And devs if that patience thins out lol jk
I have no issue waiting. I like to think of it as saving money. Spent over 150 on plat in PL. No reason to think the same won't occur in Blackstar.
It's going to be q2 so within a few weeks
Like above, in a couple of weeks, i can't wait for it!
hmm....
All I know I'm max leveling as soon as the game comes out.
Maximuming levels wil not help yu humans yu will not meat the tests beeten by our mightyiest of warriors and their astoundiling powers of saucery, the mightyness that is Scorn and the disciples of Diara will crush you all like the bananas yu so value. Chooser yure buddians wel zooboo, otherwise yu wil not make anything pass the lowest mesures of a true mightyest and powerful Scorn warriors. Beter yu should turn yure back on thise weaker humans and choose to server yure soul as a loyal and willing servant of the Scorn. The true warriors of the galaxies, with speed of the lights and power magestry of the centuies of power and strengths beyond mere humans knowledges. L0L0L0l
