Guild beta is constantly slipping at the moment, people in F+F beta are told 2 more weeks and then 10 days pass before they are again told 2 more weeks. I don't hold out any hope of a September release now, October/November is alot more likely.

Beta is slipping because... polish, don't want to send a game out and then patch it to death. Also Gazillion take over hasn't helped much, lots of reformatting.

One good thing is, more people have been hired and so a lot more work is going into it.

The F&F group, well... they are an interesting bunch. The testing schedule is different every week for them because a) they really testing Alpha, not Beta and b) the build changes 4-5 times a week (easily) and getting something together that isn't going to crash the game every 10 seconds is tough.

Still, fun times ahead! :)

I am not sure that a game that crashes every 10 seconds needs polish.

Lets hope its good when it done, just don't name it "Jumpgate forever"....

Ready when its ready.

Look what happened with AOC and WAR. Both very unfinished, both already dead. Glad to see a company actually making sure something is ready before releasing it :)

Looking forward to it.

well, Both Mythic and FunCom stated the same mind you... :)

so that alone isnt making a game worth waiting for imo.

Any news?

I took a peek today for the first time in a while at the BGE forums. There are some screenshots appearing on mmorpg.com and a few slightly defensive posts on their own forums about why no information of substance is coming.

Although Gazillion have been laying off people, according to the Netdevil CMs, it does not affect NetDevil.

Dragon Age ships this week. Am somewhat unconcerned about BGE's imminence, or lack thereof ;)

Update:

There is plenty going on, Netdevil has recently employed more people. As I understand it we are still getting 3 new builds a week with new content, but some problems at Codemasters and Netdevil (some changes in tech) means projects are pushed back.

Its all moving forward, but if I could tell you specifics I would :)

We've got a lot of staff from Codemasters, Developers/Producers and QA over ND next few weeks in a hope to push production forward.

The AI and ships just got a big update, as well as further development on audio/fx.

The moment I get some news, I'll post it here :)
