Darkfall

Remember he used the word “scheduled” to end in early December, so he can get out of this one easily by just saying they are behind on this schedule without any further clarification.

This is similar to when he said earlier this year that public beta would precede launch by a “few weeks“.

But then later backtracked saying public beta would not be “two weeks” but they hoped it would only be “several weeks”, but it would be as long as needed.

The thing that is much harder for Tasos and Aventurine to get out of is this official company commitment to launch within 2008 that is not a guestimate, they have mentioned this several times and on the 17 min video also.

What’s makes it even harder to get out of is their previous statements saying they would not announce a date as only a goal or one that they would then miss, postpone, or be forced to release unfinished to meet.

Not to mention they have also said they are “resolved” to stick with their release date and theirs no way they would miss their release date.

A very sticky position to be in, of course only people who have actually read or remember what Aventurine have said exactly over the past year concerning beta and release will appreciate this.
 

Or shortly after.

Sorry, I don't believe anything about this game; personally, I think it is vaporware.

I want to believe this game is coming out, but with zero leaks and minimal information released, I have very little confidence in this game becoming a reality.

Of course, they can prove me wrong and no one would be happier than myself.

"The announcement during ADW was that the open beta phase is scheduled to end early in December. More importantly this means that the game will be ready to release at that point. Marketing consideration kept us from just announcing a release date. The game will be ready for release, and the launch may follow directly, or shortly after, depending on the marketing landscape at the time. Obviously the earlier the better for us, but there are a lot of things needing coordination for the launch, internal and external. So our side of things (meaning the development end) will be ready."

I think Tasos has already really announced the delay of the games launch in October 31st update part 1.

Apparently marketing considerations and their landscapes as well as a lot of external and internal things that need coordination might delay the launch of the game even though actual development will be finished and the game will be ready for release.

So basically what I think Tasos is saying is we have done are part but the publisher and other partners might hold up the launch and be a cause for delay, but its not are fault because the game will be ready for release.

Blaming their publisher or GNi or the state of the market or anything else beyond their control for the launch delay could buy Aventurine some more time, but I’m not sure how much.

If anything fails, it's you. They already explained they were roughly two weeks behind schedule.
