SOOO... we know the game is coming late summer ( 21 junesh) and the first combat is in may 2 so i say about a week after there will be a first alpha, but, whats with the beta? i will make it simply : The list of hopes Mk. I Alpha - 10 may (NOT CONFORMED) Beta - ??? GAME ( ) - JUNE(ESH) (NOT CONFIRMED) The list of hopes Mk. II alpha - 20-30 of may Beta - Want more info? well to bad we aint got any GAME - September(ESH) More new info about the game! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-8CSa9xj8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdgeIYh7r7g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtHAhsDxOkQ guess or something? (searched in all forums didn't find {surprise surprise})
While nobody knows when the game is going to be ready, I really doubt it's going to be in June. Think more like September or such.
It is not even a guess. The goal is to start the Alpha at the end of May (announced during the last live Steam). But it's the only official statement we have. Could change about anytime if Uber encounter some nasty surprise. Nothing more as been announced (so BETA & Retail are still fuzzy an complete guesses !).
i hope they take their time, especially with alpha which should take way longer than the 6-8 weeks a lot of people give them i think they're also aiming for a late Q3 to early Q4 release
... Original expectation wasn't it? I'm not one for rushing the Devs if they feel they now, are in need of more time. I would not mind, nor be surprised by the final release getting pushed back several months in light of all the stretch goals they now must deliver on. In fact I would urge it to be so.
What nanolathe said. A release in June seems VERY optimistic. If that's true, I'd almost ask the developers to intentionally release it some months later, because I don't really believe it would be a full, well made game. Somewhere in 2014 seems much more likely, although I guess the end of 2013 is possible.
I really wonder what's the best approach : 1) Reduce the scope and deliver the game without all strech goals implemented ? 2) Wait for all stretchgoals to be implemented and release the game later ? Can they afford to live without additional revenue much more time ? Will they have more revenue if they release all stretch goals ?
The Devs have been saying that their budget is not only the money raised by Kickstarter. I'm beginning to suspect they may have another game they've released as some point in the past that can, and is, providing them with a stream of revenue while Planetary Annihilation is under development.
Pffft, it was the Russian mafia that stole my organs, not some weird group calling theirselves Ubermen. Sheez, how could you possibly believe that? Don't be ridiculous people, come on. Please, it's complete nonsense. These Ubermen don't even exist, and they're certainly not affiliated with Uber Entertainment. If they even existed at all, that is. Which they don't. I swear. Do you have proof to the contrary? No? See, that says enough. Now stop spreading such ridiculous rumours...
3] Release the core game, and update as things get finished They've already planned for 'regular' content updates anyways. Some might squawk about Uber not delivering everything 'as promised' at release, but those same people would also squawk should Uber to choose to delay the game in order to deliver on everything at release as well so what's the point worrying about the squawkers?

Er, late summer. Summer doesn't START until June 21. It'll be at least August or September before even thinking about release, and that's ignoring any and all possible delays.
Summer STARTS in june? well dog poo. any way, i really think that the release and then update is better, but who am i to say that i cant even do visual basic. about the secret founding, i go with blackmailing
