Guesstimated release date... please?

So it looks like the game is still fairly early in the development... and am hoping the three card previews you've shown (teleport other, escaping run, and chop) aren't the only cards you've got finished (lol). Is there an chance you could let us know how far along you are in the development process Blue Manchu is with Card Hunter?

Could you guesstimate a release date for us like? Something like, Winter 2011, Spring 2012, or are we looking at something more like, (gulp) Summer 2026?! Don't be afraid to use the Blizzard Entertainment, "It's done when it's done" approach either... just know that we're chomping at the bits to play this game.

Thanks!

*If this was covered in another thread, sorry. I searched, but didn't pull up anything!
** Doh, 4 cards... stunning bash!

 

Open Beta sometime before the end of 2011

Game release in Early 2012

Does that answer your question?

 

Excerrent!

 

Good man! I, for one, fully support this plan.

 

I also agree! And i would like to apologize for not adding the disclaimer to Areyon's question.

 

Thanx, hadn't noticed. I'll have to change my demeanour to sumfink moar orkan. Hargh, happnin' sooner than I faught...

 

Definatly a +!!!!

 

Or the LotRO one:
"Soon TM"
Definition: "may not be as soon as you think".

 

My preferred release date: "When it's Done"

 

Way I see it, yep, you finish a product and then release it. Can't promise people something if it doesn't exist. I guess I just don't understand them new-fangled "Faced Book" games and their "release cycles."

 

But IF you can go to a pre-beta phase with a working single-quest not-so-colorful-tabletop with only some cards available - pls feel free to do so Cant wait to test this seemingly great game

 

If you need some cannon fodder for your Saturday Night 'testing' then do call, it's a way of avoiding the X Factor, at least!

 

I think there are a lot of us that would gladly take part in the Saturday Night testing!

Have you considered a closed beta or prebeta just to get player feedback?

 

I'll be yet another voice drooling over the possibility of getting in an early beta, but I understand the desire for polish in a project over letting the excited masses see the game in a more "naked" form.

Still... these little peeks in are so tantalizing! Knowing y'all are playing a mock-up working version! Don't be shocked to see some visitors down in Australia soon...

 

I have worked for both the Civil Service and National Health Service in the UK. There is no system you can make that is clunkier than the ones I have seen and continue to bash my head against work on.

 

There are three ways, and only three ways you could turn me off.

1). Abandon the model of playing cards to effect a DND-like battle board
2). Adopt a overly bright-colored cartoony WoW-esque art style, played on a 3d board
3). Stop development

I don't forsee any of those happening. Like, ever.
