What else is coming before the demo?

[Oversway]

Can we expect more screenshots, interviews, dev diaries, etc. before the demo & release?

[DominionsFan]

More screenshots and interviews I guess. We surely wont see dev diaries, since the game is in beta already. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Gandalf Parker]

Considering the pace that Kristoffer and Johan have kept in the past, I would suspect that interviews and dev diaries would directly take time from getting the game ready.

But, if they are playtesting the game now as I expect they are then taking screenshots might be minor. Maybe some of the beta-testers can take some shots and offer them up as "is this ok for a screenshot release"

Does anyone know if June is still the projected release date?

[Wick]

June was the projected Gold date. Shipping is likely July.

Remember that those dates are with Order, Productivity, positive Luck and a little Magic. Scandinavia always seemed a bit more Sloth/Death/Cold to me...

Four new screenshots HERE! (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/Dom3/3.htm)
You may also expect to see some previews soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Babelfish? Battlefield? Black Forest? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

[Nerfix]

Black Forest, doh.

Sorry about that, but for some reason I jumped over that picture, and thought you meant the Asian-looking guys. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

Doh, indeed.

[DominionsFan]

hm you know Asian looking guys....some medieval japan mod for Doms3 sounds like an excellent idea. I will definitely make a mod like that, but only after my main mod, which will be a fantasy based world. :-)

[Morkilus]

Uhhh... did you look at the screenshots? Samurai and kappa! Japanese dudes already exist! New nation! Makes it easy to make a mod of course, if you're looking for something beyond that.

[DominionsFan]

Yes ofc, medieval japan total conversion mod. :-)

[Folket]

Why not a ninja scrool total conversion mod?

[Nerfix]

I want more screenies. I want to see those new Mictlanese summons and Rhuaxes.

[Kristoffer O]

All makt åt folket!

[Nerfix]

Förlåt mig, jag talar och skrivar bara dålig svensk. Vad menar "all makt åt folket" i engelska?

Jag tänker, att 'makt' är 'might' i engelska. Jag vet inte, om Kristoffer menar att vi skulle hjälpa Folket att göra hans 'ninja scrool total conversion' eller om han menar, att vi skulle 'use might' eller vara 'violent' åt han. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

For all you false believers who don't know Swedish, the Language of the Cryphic Error Messages - http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. Your loss.
Heja Sverige!

P.S.
I think he means that we should help Folket, not hurl giant boulders at him in our Scandinavian fury. I'm not quite sure about the interpretation, though, and it might still change...

If that's another Swedish phrase we're supposed to learn for Dominions III, I expect to be pretty fluent in Swedish by Dominions 10^6 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Folket]

I think the correct translation should be "all power to the people".

Oh, of course. I feel dumb. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

I wondered why he didn't capitalize folket, but it seems it wasn't a name after all.

[Alneyan]

Don't worry, the trickssy Swede caught me too. Of course, I do have the excuse of not being supposed to know any Swedish in the first place.

I recommend that all secret talks be done in... say, Ancient Greek instead (let's put that Unicode thing to good use).
