Re: ok, soon to be released, but ANXIETY is in me!

 

ok, soon to be released, but ANXIETY is in me! Any Idea of the real release date? some days? some weeks?

 

Thankx

 

Nobody knows. Really, nobody knows.

 

 

Current indications are that the software itself is suitable for release. I say indications, but again nobody is sure.

 

However, we now need documentation, installers, and finalisation of the distribution methods. Might be a while yet.

 

I expect less than a month.

Well, let's end this uncertainty.

The first formula describes the total work left to do, where n is the estimated size of the problem (lines-of-code, say). To then get at a value for w just estimate a, b, c and d — the linear, polygonal, logarithmic and exponential complexity of the problem, respectively. The second formula states that work is the same as efficiency multiplied by time. Now just estimate p (efficiency) and solve for t (time).

 

With n=10000, a=0.04, b=1.02, c=0.8 and d=1.0009, I get w=8559 (man-hours, say). With an efficiency estimated at p=25*8=200 (man-hours per day), I get t=43 (days), giving an estimated release date of 17 March 2005.

Are you sure about that date? The game should have come out already, acording to what I read in these forums. Someone said that one of the dev's communicated the community that the game would be released at end of january with or without bugs...guess there was a plan change.

 

Nevertheless, we better not "cry" because thats not going to work. :wink: Last time that happened with lock on, the game came out with buggy and part was the community fault. This time its going to be different, and we will wait for it, so people dont start saying : "Omgz this sim is buggy as hell" :twisted:

Excellent service, too bad that those that dont have an internet connection wont be able to play Valve's games, not even demos. :?

Indications from the Russian forums say they are finished game-testing and are now working on the English translation, installers and documentation. Estimate it will be about 1 week(Mondayish - Tuesdayish)
