And this 3-4 minute video, It will be rotating models again?
What do you mean rotating models again?
Like your hellion vid.
No it will be a video of improvements made to the planetary engine - specifically our new planetary ring rendering.
âPlanetary engineâ
he he he he
heâŚ
Like for the last six years?
Bleh, deadlines are crap anyway.
Take your time guys, though something sometime eventually would be nice now that youâve teased that youâre doing this video and the Kickstarter 
Though if you do want to give us some kind of milestone to look at, lists of outstanding tasks and expected effort to complete probably work better than a concrete date.

Yeah, when a kickstarter comes out, they should make a grand feature list of pretty much everything they want to achieve with battlescape, kind of like this: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html (lol what is this âbody is too similar to what you recently postedâ message that comes up? I tried to correct the link and it just popped up lol)
LOL. I donât think you needed to say that last line. Waiting is fun, you get to see the bitching from some people come outâŚ
Take the date something is said to come out then add 1/2 the time to the original forecast and that will be the date of the next apology for it not cumming out on time. Iâm used to it. 
Yup. 2013 kickstarter dates? nope. Mid march kickstarter? nope. May kickstarter? nope. Short video coming out soon? hopefully yes, as well as the kickstarter. Of course, The release doesnât need to be rushed, I just want updates. They arenât really scarce, but I figure I should isolate myself from anything to do with infinity for a few months and be blown away.
Meh, I donât personally feel very strongly about deadlines for I-novae considering how long Iâve waited already. Other people might and apparently do. I donât think itâs a bad thing to point out where theyâve slipped up in a critically constructive way in order to hold them to a higher standard and to remind them people are paying attention. Moreso, people may be paying attention or checking in silently- the vast majority who donât post. We canât get a gauge on all of them so itâs good to get any sort of pulse you can on whoever you can see.
The important thing is that stuff does eventually get released

Maybe now it is time to reveal an re-re-re-estimated date for the launch of the kickstarter-campaign? Wasnât it sheduled for some time in summer 2014? If I know a more specific time-frame I can prepare and safe money that I can hopefully and finally throw at the screen and I have something to look forward to
I think itâs easily understandable, that the date is pushed. What I really hate, is that we are in this deadmanperiod for quite a while now.
Inovae simply wants to provide only 5kb per day. So we can be happy to get a new screenshot every 3rd monthâŚ
That probably means December/January. Christmas holiday maybe.
The issue is that weâre keeping everything that has to do with the KS video under wraps until weâre close to releasing it. Unfortunately nearly everything that weâre working on at the moment has to do with the KS video 
. Weâre doing this because weâre going to have to do a media push along with providing a monthâs worth of updates during the KS. Given our limited resources if we release half our content before we get to the KS that could be a big problem.

Agreed, the only way for the Kickstarter to get enough traction is to have a concentrated push of PR going.
There are far too many space games âsimilarâ to Infinity on the horizon, so simply setting up a Kickstarter page and providing some basic updates is not enough any more. The game needs to be well presented with new content coming in regularly so that you keep generating interest.
I like the approach you are taking and I think itâs the best way to get to the game we have all been waiting for. And I will definitely back the project (a first for me), even though itâll âonlyâ be for Battlescape.
