Malfador Website Update...

[Ragnarok]

Hey everyone, Malfador updated their website.

Malfador Website. (http://www.malfador.com)

This is what it has to say on the main page: "07/10/06 - SE5 Update
Greetings! Yes we're still alive and kicking. Sorry for the lack of news but we're still hard at work squashing bugs. As you may have realized, SE5 is a huge beast of a game and there are many areas to test and smooth out. We've gotten a lot of emails about the "Winter 2006" release date on the website. Not to worry, that was mainly to keep us from having to keep changing it. Right now were on track for an August release and we'll try very hard to make it. "

But of course, I recommend going directly to the site.

..

you can tell he doesn't spend much time updating the website. "That was mostly to keep us from having to update it." LOL!

[Kana]

August...be still my beating heart...

[Raapys]

Probably in reference to the fact that there could be delays. That's great news, though, 3-7 weeks and it's out!

[gregebowman]

Darn, if only I had a working computer, I would drool. Hope I hit the lottery soon.

[Caduceus]

He should just throw SE:VI Spring 2010 out there for a laugh.

[Suicide Junkie]

You can get a plenty good computer for a hundred bucks canadian...

Video cards are the only real choke point left.

You can say that again, sheesh...

[Phoenix-D]

You can get a decent video card for under a $100; if you don't need a lot of power the integrated video cards are actually decent now, so you could ommit it entirely..

[Atrocities]

Be still my beating heart.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

...Er, isn't that a bad thing? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[StarShadow]

My birthday is in August, what an awesome birthday present...

Hmm, that's a good point. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I hope my heart doesn't stop beating anytime soon!

[Makinus]

Anyone knows if Startegy First will have a Direct Download option for SEV like thay have in some of their games?

I ask because i´m thinking about getting a credit card, and one of the first things i would buy with it would be SEV, but only if there was a Direct Download option, ´cause here in Brazil any international shipping takes ages and software imports are full of red tape...

[Yimboli]

<insert generic pessimistic post about the release date being a bunch of bullsh*t here>

[Puke]

<insert generic pessimistic post about the download version having absurd and unusable copy protection here>

[RonGianti]

WHAT??!! August is still on the table?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Its too nice out! I can't get this game in August! I'll be in the house when its nice out. How about.. October? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Atrocities]

Oh I think you will find the time to go outside.

[Fyron]

Get a laptop so you can have your cake and eat it too!

[Caduceus]

Get a water-proof laptop and play in the pool!

[Atrocities]

Or just have Aaron port the game to a consule so you can play it on your X-Box 360 on those hot summer nights out by the pool. Batteries not included.

[Kamog]

I hardly ever go outside anyways! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Yeah, August would be wonderful.

[AAshbery76]

The game is out next month? Great job on the marketing front StrategyFirst. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

The game might be out next month. Then again it might not.

I'm betting on "not" myself.

[Renegade 13]

Next month would definitely surprise me.

[Ragnarok-X]

No way in hell.

[Ed Kolis]

Dammit you two, you beta testers just want everything to be PERFECT before you guys let them release it... give it a rest already! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif Broken software is released all the time; it's expected that nothing will work right the first time - that's what patches are for http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Aiken]

I second that. These evil betatesters just want to prevent us from pleasure and renown of reporting fresh, just-found, critical bug. They want all fame for themselves!!!!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Horrible beta testers, wanting us to have the best game ever.

...And people call me silly.

[Wade]

Cool. At the Strategy First Forum Captain Kwok has dropped two hints that the August release is most likely.

[Atrocities]

I am going to let you in on a secret, Captain Kwok is really Aaron... Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone.

[Wade]

Your sarcasm is unbecoming.

[Atrocities]

It was a friendly jest, not sarcasim. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[dogscoff]

Your sarcasm is unbecoming.




He's trying to throw us off the scent... that can only mean... Wade is Aaron! Wade is Aaron!

[Captain Kwok]

I never said August was likely - - I just said it was not far-fetched.

[Wade]

It's cool Atrocities. dogscoff, whom is Aaron, is trying to mislead us by claiming he is me and not him...um...yeah like that...or something.

[bearclaw]

I'm me.

does that help?

[ZeroAdunn]

Sweet jesus! I don't believe it.

[RonGianti]

Ok. Fine, fine, fine.

So August is on the table. Which means the goal is August. Which means we'll talk about it and nag about it into September and it will be released on October 10th.

Got it, good, thanks.

You are most welcome. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Xrati]

Can I be Aaron today? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Caduceus]

We take it in turns to act as Aaron for the week.

I've checked the calendar and your week will be October 16-22 2006. Please make a note of it.

Thank you for asking.

[Black_Knyght]

WAIT - I'm confused.....!?!?!?!?


I thought <font color="red">AT</font> was really <font color="blue">Aaron</font>..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Caduceus]

Please refer to your calendar. It clearly states that Atrocities is Aaron May 7-13 2007.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

No, no, Fyron is Aaron.

Or is that Alien?

[TerranC]

Fyron is Nolan.

I am Aaron.

And you are Moses.

Confused? You should be.

[Hunpecked]

I saw that movie!

Kirk Douglas slowly stands up, about to admit he's Aaron.

Suddenly, Tony Curtis pops up next to him and shouts, "I'm Aaron!"

Then all the guys around them jump up and start yelling, "I'm Aaron!" "No, I'M Aaron!" "I'm AARON!"

It was a very dramatic scene. I just wish I could remember the name of the film... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Randallw]

Space Empiricus.

[tesco samoa]

bah bah bah

[Xrati]

I saw that movie, I really like the part when Peter Graves is in the airplanicus and asks the little kid if he likes spartans.

OK! If I can't be Aaron this week, can I be AT? I can do this, really! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

[capnq]

Are you sure you want to be AT? He attracts bad luck like Xi-Chung to honey.

[Caduceus]

I thought it was like Pooh Bear attracts the Phong.

Man, I hate these mixed metaphors.

[Xrati]

Yeah, your right on that one! I don't know if I could keep track of all those Star Trek Mods either. Not to mention all those shipsets. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
