Alas…
Posted by Data in Cortex Command - December 18th, 2006

Sorry folks, the build has been slightly delayed again. I really need to be more careful with promising timeframes for these things. My sincere apologies.

The current status is that things are really, really close, but there’s still several polish and implementation issues which would get in the way of you enjoying the build. So instead of throwing somehting half-baked up here and wasting your and our time, we’re going to make sure the new additions shine first.

Again, sorry to get your anticipation set and then not delivering on time. Just a day or so more… ( I think 😉 )

    Yea. Really bad. Really really really bad. Not to put pressure on anyone : -) (I swear, i’m here every hour stalking the next build)

  3. kokits - # December 19th, 2006 at 9:30 pm

    not that we’re pressing the refresh button every 5 minutess or anything, but…

    PSSH! Not every 5 minutes.. every 15.. 😛

  5. kokits - # December 19th, 2006 at 9:42 pm

  6. Shinkirou Densetsu - # December 19th, 2006 at 9:58 pm

    Yes. 2 is obsessive.. 15 is small child at christmas.

  7. kokits - # December 19th, 2006 at 10:00 pm

    …but i like the 2…

    Heh, heh. I’m reminded of all the excited discussion of the Energy Sword during the hype for Halo 2. Occasionally someone would point out, “It’s just a new weapon in a game, and anyway, it’s not like there’s never been a melee weapon in an FPS before.” And people went _livid_. 😉

    I hate to think what this group (myself included) will be like when the game is released in ’07.

  9. kokits - # December 19th, 2006 at 10:16 pm

    I guess it’s just the problem of waiting so long. We all expected it on sunday, but now it’s tuesday so we are all giddy with anticipation. lol

  10. Data - # December 19th, 2006 at 10:40 pm

    Well… yeah people don’t go nuts. 😉 It’s a new (admittedly cool) ship and a bunch of improvements, but it’s not like a whole new game. Please set your expectations accordingly.

    That said, I’m fairly certain tonight we’ll push it out.

  11. kokits - # December 19th, 2006 at 10:52 pm

    YIPEE! it will (note the word probably) probably be out tonight!

  12. Joe Mikkel - # December 19th, 2006 at 11:01 pm

    i’m gonna stay up 😀

  13. JLrep - # December 19th, 2006 at 11:30 pm

    I think it’s funny that someone optimistically observed the possibility of additional levels in the future. Additional levels! Clearly if such were true, Data, your benevolence would know no bounds.

  14. makeshifter - # December 20th, 2006 at 12:03 am

    wait quick question if you shoot the engine close to you it would start to cartwheel at you wouldn’t it. i wouldn’t want to shoot it just to be crushed

    Data, let me say this: You rock, and therefor are able to put this off as long as you want, and since you are able to make us wait as long as you need us to, you can control us all. Tell us to “Wait five days”, and our reaction will be “Okee dokee!”, so try making us do something crazy for a change, such as “Bounce on your head, then I’ll realease this update.” our reaction will undoubtably be “Okee dokee!”. And once you can control us like that, get us to help you.

    If that made no sense, you’re a very normal and healthy human. I am running on pure crazy right now, as it is 1:21 am, and I have gotten about 15 hours of sleep in the past four days. Myes. Quite. Indeed. Ahem. Yes. If you hear a slight buzzing in your ears, you have just cought the crazy.

    I hope this gets you a bit of laughter, Data, wether it be a light “Heh.” or a large “What the heck was that? Hahahaha!” or at least a “Wow, I think I have a fan.”.

    This message will self destruct in: 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

    I couldn’t sleep *yawns* it’s 5:21 over here in ontario.

  27. anonymous - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:01 am

    If it was going to be out last night, what happened?

  28. Party Pancakes - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:14 am

    He never said last night he said in a day or so. Also he probably isn’t even awake to put the game on the website.

  29. Kazuki - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:15 am

    Oh well 😀

    I have been playing CC for awhile now, and I can tell you it is excellent already. (Although the build looks KICK ASS :D)

  30. Kazuki - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:17 am

    Damn.. I didn’t realize most of you people are staying awake all night. 😀 It’s 5:16 where I live, but I’m not tired. *drools*

  31. anonymous - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:19 am

    ok then

  32. Data - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:24 am

    It’s done. Packing it up now.
    Told you to go to bed 😉

  33. Kazuki - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:31 am

    Oh but I didn’t. 😀

  34. Kazuki - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:35 am

    (I wish I could edit my comments) Where will you be posting it? On the forums, or the main page?

  35. Party Pancakes - # December 20th, 2006 at 5:41 am
