August Update

[(John)Wolf0013]

It was stated in the road map about an August update, please relay if it had to be pushed back as the date is currently the 26th, I am advocating for this game and have grown to love it. While there may be complaints about the EA, I am not one, as I deal with such on a regular basis.
But one thing I am a stickler for is Deadlines, when I see a date given, I am in expectations of said date, just as I run corporate account deadlines. But it is easily forgiven with a simple heads up and communication. Gamers are sometimes not as forgiving, so might want to give a countdown or delay heads up.

Half the team just got back from Gamescom, we're finishing up our last rounds of QA, we're very much on track for the end of August release. We're trying to push it to get any additional fixes in as much as we can - the custom game mode touches on a lot of core game systems, so if we can squeeze another day of testing in, we're going to do it. But it's happening.

really fantastic to hear from a developer personally, my GF and I are very excited for the update

keep up the great work guys =) thank you for the transparency + communication, it really goes a long ways

It's tremendous to see active participation in the forums from members of the development team. I know there are heaping piles of not very constructive feedback to filter here and you haven't let any of that turn you away yet which is impressive. Thanks for hanging in there and sticking it out with us!

I am not only ecstatic and honored that you replied to my post, but hearing the news will ease the minds. I completely understand and as a fellow past programmer and as a professional. I look forward to seeing the update in Sep. squeeze every last second you can.
I have confidence in your team and I will be advocating further for this game.

Thanks for the kind words, we'll get the update out, scout's honor!

Isn't another update in Sept due - and the August one still isn't out yet? So has the road map slipped already?

[carsten-schulze]

[BladeofSharpness]

I hope to have a great week end!

It's still August, isn't it? I know you're chomping at the bit, but give it a few days, yeah?

Appreciate the personal response. Really hoping when you fix the ghost construction site from building in the mine, that the fix does not require having to restart my current world. Here's to hoping, cheers!

Yeah I was wondering the same XD

"Some time this August, ASKA will receive World Gen Options."

Ok, so some days left, lol. I really want the custom world gen options, as I havent bothered to play much since I got this on release, due to the bad balancing (bear attack that was initially bugged, then the winter etc)

Apparently it's out later today at close of their business day UK time +2
So in next few hours if steam can push the big update patch out in good time.
