lumo1234 68 Posted March 27, 2014 While i would love to hear of new features in the works i doubt we will, honestly due to the bugs that held the update we got from stable i dont think we will see the survival aspect finished this month either =( Still there are a couple of days left for me to be very pleasantly surprised :P Will still watch but possibly not live. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gugolas 228 Posted March 27, 2014 If somebody likes a post just because he/she thinks that who wrote is hot is just as dumb as.......damn, our society.We're getting a little OT, aren't we? I'm sorry.By teasings anyway I meant those about the game, even if I was aware that somebody could get that wrong ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lidskjalf 132 Posted March 28, 2014 I give Rocket credit, he made a great game out of just a mod and personally I think its great to see that he's going to be staying independent with his new game ideas. Very cool, hopefully there are some sweet games in the coming future. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted March 28, 2014 just down the road for me, but that means being around general gamers, which makes me go meh... I think there will be a lot of heat around rocket this year, the game is, as we know, a rough version of the vision he wanted to release, yes it is still early days but gamers can be an unforgiving bunch, even when kept in the loop.

Ellen Ripley 71 Posted March 28, 2014 Considering he did this roadmap 2 days ago I would be suprised if they actually stick to it.Though I do hope they'll find more people for their team. I really like the Idea of rivers on the map.Still excited to see how this works out. Its gonna be an interesting year. And when it hits beta at least Witcher 3 will come out probably.
