    Work on what? He's just being blunt. Not his fault if everyone's having conniptions.

    There's not too many ways to phrase: "Most of the game mechanics are nearly complete."
    I don't think he could have put it any more lightly.

    I am relaxed. And it's not our place to dictate how Tiy decides to write up his posts. If people want to read into his posts too much that's their problem, not his.

    Honestly, I enjoyed the previous look of background planets, nice a pixel-y <-- [pretty sure that's not a word.] but yeah I have to agree with basically everyone else here, the game looks like it's coming together. Quite nicely at that, keep up the good work Chucklefish.

    Exclusive preview in late August?

    Colour me disappointed, since the beta most likely won't be released until after that.

    Everybody, it's already been mentioned in here and everywhere else that Chucklefish said that if they have the FULLY FUNCTIONAL BETA completed before the August event, then it will be released to us; the paying public. They will still do the showcase for the publicity, but it won't interfere with the release of the beta.

    It's because the planet's surface reflects light, the atmosphere does the same thus creating a radiant glow and the dark background of space makes it look even brighter :monkey:

    Again a very nice update, even tho i have to agree that the glow of the big planet in the distance should probably be a bit less.
    Since im still not done with my exams i won't be seeing you at Insomnia *sadface*
    I hope you guys have a fun time there, and if you can grab Sips and Sjin; i want to see your game on their channel :)
    I believe in a Sjin called love

    Will Tiy ever patch up that hole he made in the roof of the spaceship?

    Find out on the next exciting episode of "July Progress"!

    looks to me like a very passive aggressive "I am relaxed".
    The thing is, don't forget that the community has paid for a product and some people simply want some better info about the release window. If all game developers would start working this way, it would not be appreciated I'm sure.
    Anyways, Xander merely stated that it might not be good to reveal that particular kind of info.
    Think about it this way: the update mostly give us vague info which is nice to know, but doesn't tell us anything about progress. This is to satisfy us. This is fine, but when talking about "almost every major feature being done", it makes people think. "Almost done? What does he mean? Beta?" This, to my opinion is giving avoidable trouble, so I agree with Xander. Btw the devs are people, no gods. Which means that advice (which Xander gives) is allowed to be given and can help them better communicate with the whole community, not just types like you (not meant to offend).

    So do relax ;).

    link to at least one source from official chucklefish members please?

    Beta release includes hole. Thousands take to the streets to protest.

    Looking forward more and more to this game everyday. Hope to see it soon... On a side note, these empty ships sure seem to give off a lonely, secluded, depressy tone... Though I realise they aren't going to go and spoil a bunch of stuff by decorating a ship all nice n fancy for a screenshot not even about the ship itself :p

    Promises, promises. "We're close to complete all major features, but you won't see the game this year".

    Haha - marketing the game as an exciting new game in the same vain of minecraft - that will certainly give a huge boost to popularity. I can't wait to see what happens to preorder sales after this event, it sounds amazing.
