Darkfall Update

Tasos has posted a short update at the official Darkfall forums indicating that things are progressing and that updates should be posted more frequently. See what he has to say about this and an upcoming movie:

Hello,

I thought to quickly check in before too much more time passes. As we step up publishing activities, the updates should increase in frequency and quality, which should make up for the ones we've been missing the last months. We take for granted sometimes that the Darkfall community is savvy enough to understand the limitations of independent game development and make allowances, however we're also keeping track of what we need to give you in order for you to know exactly what you're getting into with Darkfall.

On progress, there are no major problems to report, some minor delays maybe here and there which don't affect our timeline. Most of us had a short break, the last for a long time. Everyone is back and we officially entered into our crunch period on Monday. We've had several new people join the company the past month, and more on the way.

There's a video coming out, most probably next week, or shortly after. We're talking about a long 100% in-game pure gameplay trailer with no scripting, no simulation, no post-processing. It's us play-testing while fraps is running on free cameras and playercams and all the footage was collected and edited. The scenarios for it had to be run as part of our testing and development schedule as they came up. Nothing is scripted. We wanted to give you something that can put you in the true spirit of the game and this requires us to be actually playing the game like you would be, and not just taking you on a sightseeing tour or have a company make a marketing cinematic trailer for us.

If you're experiencing problems with the website and the forums it's because these days we're upgrading our webservers and this should be going on most of next week as well. Thank you for your patience.

Our next update would be the video, so until then, thanks for reading.

Color me skeptical but we've seen promises of media releases before. Let's hopt this one's genuine.

LOL...it was more of a rhetorical question. I personally gave up on Darkfall months ago. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't well...I don't really care. :P

No cupcakes but how about...

What? Don't tell me your in league with them now, Kalia?

Them? Who them? I'm not in league with anyone. I simply don't give a rip either way. If it comes out and it's great, I'll play it. If it never comes out, life goes on. :)

I totally march to my OWN beat, bruddah.

Oh ye of little faith Kalia.

More news is good news I guess.

You know.... them. The ones I wanted banned a year ago O.O

LOL!

Do you mean...

Yes yes, THEM! XD

That's be a great avatar if it wouldn't get too small, huh? :)

I'm gonna see if I can't find that movie anywhere...
