Release "When Its Done" (That's Brilliant xD)

Other devs should put a completed game over a rushed release more often.

I'm honestly wondering if the release was changed to that in regards to all the comments asking when the game is gonna be released

Good idea. I was tiring to see back and forth between "yet another delay!?" and "we didn't announce any dates, there was no delay, for realz". Despite year changing for... third year in a row? I'm not sure. This way they can delay the game again to 2021, 2022 or 204ever and there "won't be any delays".

"When it's done", is a classic.

Made me chuckle when I read it ^^

System requirements are now out of date, as Steam now requires at least Windows 7.

From what GT posted on Twitter earlier, it seems to look quite polished; I'm impressed!

Well, in the website they said that they were 70% done with the game. I don't know how much time have passed since then

the only thing i want is to pre order on steam. but its not possible because valve monitors that sector.

frankly i find that to be an immature response and just another sign of the poor PR of this game. "Undetermined" is a much better way to say there is no confirmed date at this time.

Steam for the longest time was automatically putting dates up. We gained control only recently. Vendors putting up display dates is not the same thing as a company giving a release window. Never has been, never will be.

"When It's Done"[web.archive.org] is actually a very old saying first coined by Blizzard Entertainment to show a value of making a complete, quality release over rushing to certain release window. Games that could have been legendary in their time failed utterly[lockesjourney.wordpress.com] time and time again because some person somewhere decided that the game had to be released that holiday, instead of any reasonable window when it could be finished complete and worth playing.

Undetermined would mean we have no idea where we are. Frankly, I find that word an excellent way to put more people on edge and feel like the game is never going to come, when reality is we're already in QA with a good deal of the game. We know what we're doing. We simply refuse to make a promise we can't 100% keep until we 100% know we can keep it.

Since we're focusing on quality instead of rushing the game out, that means if we promised you a finished game in 2 weeks, then found 4 weeks worth of bugs, we'd have to say we lied and delay the game. We're simply not making that mistake, and won't no matter how many threats, negative comments, or please will be tossed towards us to deviate from that path.

I'm sorry we've made you unenthused for the game, but we aren't a big company with some dedicated hype staff, just a group of individual developers working together to get our games out at a reasonable pace and in the best quality possible.

We regularly update on Twitter with screenshots and tidbits about what's being done. Our developer has to choose between working on the game or making updates, we prefer each developer focus on their games, which is why they have a part timer on here answering your questions at 2 AM. :P
