    I hate you now. You're no longer a role model, you're a N00b.

    so whene is this game do to releas exacly?
    i know you mentioned fall this year after persponing it once again, and based on your replay patern, i guess you can't (or wont) tell us an actual date, but is this fall (witch is now by the way) still posible? are we going to see the shadow sun some time with in the next 3 month? or is it within 2 months?

    can you give a "release-month" perhabs???? or any other clue in that direction?

    im guessing you can't....but it is still worth a shot to ask (again)! i just cant wait for it!

    and -to other useres of this thread- could we please hold this thread for the shadow sun game, and not for who's got the best and biggest (beta tester experience)

    what's you expectations for the game? you must have an idea how you think the game is going to be like?
    im hoping for "neverwinter nights meets the witcher with a delicate hint of mass effect"

    I think you should be pleased with our eventual playtime.

    You can interact with party members and grow your character as in most RPGs, specialising in a variety of different skills.

    Asking for an actual console game is too much unless you consider the iPod/iPhone/iPad to be consoles, since those are the only release platforms to have been confirmed. ;)

    An all seriousness, the goal is to provide the same kind of quality and depth you would find in a console RPG; just in your palm. :)

    Fall 2011 ends on December 21, so our goal is before then. I would hope considerably before then. We've just entered crunch mode and we're determined to get the game finished as soon as reasonably possible. We just need to finish up a few things before we can start the media storm.

    Neverwinter Nights meets The Witcher with a delicate hint of Mass Effect is a pretty accurate way to sum up our approach, so I'm guessing you won't be disappointed. :)

    Guys, we're currently fully staffed for beta testers. If we need more, we'll put out the call closer to the time. Please wait until then before throwing your hats in the ring since it kind of clogs up the thread. Cheers. :)

    Alazander, thanks for keeping us posted. We all appreciate that. As of now, this is my most anticipated release for this year.

    Now all we need is some awesome screenshots. ;)

    This -
    And this -
    - Sound too great to be true. Can't wait for some more media to be released in the form of a picture, teaser (gameplay :eek:), anything.

    Hmm... If the game doesnt hit the store before November, I probably won't buy. At least not the first 3-4 months. I'll be pretty busy killing dragons in another upcoming RPG epic. An RPG that will last at LEAST 400 hours.

    400 hours...? Lol. 3-4 months? Hahaha. November? This game will come out when it comes out. You can't do anything to make the release date come sooner. I will actually be glad if it comes out later than December 21st. I feel that trying to make a release date, feels like you're rushing yourself to make the release date. They can take more time to make the game as best as they can make it.

    Well, with a name like Dubstep, I'm guessing not much.

    Ossian, please Push the release date To be as soon as possible. I dont really care what you do, cut corners, leave out an ending, just make it happen so Martin JF can for sure get a chance to play kuz I'll be buying either way. ;)

    No but seriously, rushing a release date probably isn't the greatest idea in the history of game development.

    (and no offense btw, Martin, I was only joking)

    i can't believe what im reading!!!!!! those games are my all time favorites....im numb and chiled to the bones with exitment!! this makes the wait even harder!!!!!!

    crunch mode can take time if you want it done proberly, amount of time depends on how acurate and carefull you are when building the game, i have a feeling that you are a bunch of VARY experienced game builders so im hoping for a release witin the next 3 month, but not expecting anything before december 21. but im REALY REALY hoping sooner then later.
    (today or tomorro would fit me niceliy :) )

    it sounds like a console game to me! 10+ gameplay plus varies mentioned features easely defeat any wii game iv seen! and wii is a console right? but im thinking more like xbox, naturaly grafics can't be compared and story lenght either do to the smaller device and it's limits, but the quality of the actual gameplay sounds like any other ps3, xbox or pc game i'v encountered

    so....disappoined....considering what i know about the game so far....don't think thats posible realy! unless it shows not compateble with iphone 3Gs offcours, then this game would be more expencive then expected (for me, that is)

    don't surpose you have a price range yet?

    Not yet, no. I daresay less than Final Fantasy Tactics. ;) (Personally I'm pretty bummed at how expensive that game is, since I've always wanted to play it.)

    I dont know if that is a game for me, As far As i know Final Fantasy Tactics is a jrpg, simple enemies are Allmost imposible despose off and the endless grinding that are allway present in any jrpg is not realy to my liking and does not suit my play style.

    Besides that, I surpose a heavy pricetag also meen lots of content, I would gladly pay that price for the shadow sun considering content and features of the game

    Any news? Pictures, trailer or any progress info you want to share? Anything will do...anything at all.

    How Many classes are there, how Many skills, and are there separate skill-trees? Can you build and/or craft weapons and amour? Build you own house or something? That would be cool, using different material to build different things, tell me/us something about the game, those of us who know about the game are dieing to hear and/or see news!

    I kind of sympathize with that, but some of us have jobs, school, families -- i.e. lives ;)
