I haven't felt like this since Christmas as a kid, the feeling slightly tops losing virginity and first experience with beer for sheer excitement.

yeah i know every christmas i cant get to sleep and think i will never and then near 1.00 am in the morning me sleeping lol

Hope its today - I've done nothing so far except walk back and fore to my PC every 5 minutes and hit the refresh key!

Must be patient!!!

Think I'll play BOTF 1 to kill a bit of time!

i have been playing EF1 and JK3 and quit every 30 minutes to check the forums PLEASE PLEASE SAVE UP FROM THIS WAITING IT WILL KILL US!

im trying not to think about it, although when i got up this morning i grogily got too my pc to check if it was here, and my brother had taken the router offline for a rest!! so i had to wait till he got a shower, got changed and made himself breaky before he did it... was near having a fit... (it really quite sad...)

Nice one SonOfMogh, your absaloutly right, i cant wait to get my Botf2 cherry popped. Ive even got a priority list of things im going to do when i get the game going.

1. Meet a poor, hapless species (like say, humans)
2. subjagate, re-educate and repeat
3. deliberatly let a system get out of control (one i dont like) and send a counter insurrection fleet to help them reconsider their struggle.
4. Build a Galor
5. send it on a rampage
6. have a belly laugh
7. Send a friendly, neighbourhood obsidion order bomb, space freight.
8. Blow up a flying coffin
9. use extremely long and complicated words when im communicating with the pakleds
10. mourn the death of my first Galor
11. seek vengeance on the galaxy
12. come here and brag about it
13. eat, sleep, consume alcohol do my uni course, bathe, be social, contribute to society

Is anyones priorities really any different?

no but i will not get drunk lol and i will be a Fed trying to kill everyone cause am a insane Terren empire guy!

i dont get drunk! i merely consume alcohol to enhance my social status....

(falls on floor, throws up and has a fit of giggles)

Only heard about BOTF 2 today for the first time as I in the wait for Civ 4, I decided I would play my other most addictive strategy game, BOTF (along with Civ2)

Until I realised I had lost the disc, I've always wanted a BOTF 2 and this sounds amazing.

Can we have clarification when the demo will be released. I don't want to keep checking if its not going to come out today.

Cheers Devs, you have done a great service. If its as good as it sounds (Basically BOTF but more in depth) this could be amazing.

i cannot give clarification as i have not spoken to gavin today. i believe we are still on track though as he has not said otherwise when we were testing the other day.

So the Demo is not going to be released today

Sunday is a better day anyway. Been busy doing other things today.

Join the club! Just been back from delivering my bro to Aberythsryth Uni I'll miss the arguments

Well I'm in the UK, so it would probably be released here in the middle of the night so I would have to wait for Sunday anyway.

Will there be a manual with it?

It seems too deep to be without one.

And by demo, what is left out?

not that i'm aware of. in the full version there will come an entire database for you people. Anyway if needed i will also write an manual, first have to discuss stuff with gavin then. It's still saturday, guys. be patiend, i haven't spoken to gavin either, but i do expect to see the demo today or tommorow.

I like ur database thing that is up for download IWulff. Gona rock that and could be the manual i supose when full games out.

Yeah i havent heard from gav today either but i have faith in him so hang on in there peeps.

Wait till you see the newest version. Graphics are redone, new resolution, and all kinds of stuff. It really looks so cool at the moment, i was working on a tft screen, have to try it on a crt also.

Sorry to hear that Gturfey, hope everything works out, as you said there are more important things in life, friends anf family come first.

Sorry to hear about that mate - hope your friend is ok.

Sorry to hear dude, np hope to cya in the morning then if all goes to plan.

he missed saturday it is now sunday please bring it today!

Please, Please, Please

If everyone would post stuff like this, then we would have a forum with no content. Please do not spam the forum. Anyway see you later guys, still don't if there will be mp support.

Sorry Iwulff

Sorry to hear that Gavin, not much you can say when a death is involved, but give your support and understanding. As cdrwolfe says friends and family come first.

Compared to that the game is nothing, give our condolances to those affected if its appropriate

me, gavin and others shall continue testing shortly. I don't know an exact date nor time for the release of the demo, but it will be soon. All i can ask of you is to try and stay patient.

You can count on us. Iwulff is there anything you need a hand with for the database?

Perhaps what kind of options you would like to have in the database? I mean how detailed do you want to have the races, do you want to enlist all technologies and stuff, tutorials, howtomod section.. stuff like that. I guess the more the better, right? I already have an enormous amounts of little sounds so that is ok for the moment. Perhaps some short movieclips in it? or rotating models (should ask jig for that ).
