    From what i have read on Gamespy and IGN it is supposed to be released Q2, so i'd guess no later then June.

    We don't really know how much has actually been made until we see some more teaser videos. Judging by the IRC they've actually completed quite a lot of the core aspects of the game but have a lot of little things to do (they were still undecided on some of the smaller gameplay elements). Tiy's twitter shows he's been working on the procedurally generated environments and items for the last month. They're pretty far through the development stages, but I can imagine they'll have to test it a lot. I think we can expect a beta test at the end of June / early July and the actual release date late August. They'll release it when all the gaming hype calms down a bit (lots of huge titles coming out over the summer).

    yeah that said theres a lot of competing titles coming out so i guess their PR is spot on hopefully anyway

    That's the thing I worry about the most about great indie games: the PR. You can make the most amazing game in the world and release it, but unless you have the right contacts your game isn't going to generate much interest. Chucklefish already have a lot going for them because of Terraria and Steam, I just hope they release it at the right time so people see it.

    Honestly, the longer it takes to make the better it will be. I think the general consensus was that we want it done right, not fast, and we'll patiently await when it is finished.

    Most of us at least.

    In the new video, it says that there IS a new developer working on getting the game out faster (I assume this means that he's working on tweaking things and bug fixes), so I think we may get it out a little sooner then expected.

    May 28? That's my birthday! HOLY CRAP! PLEASE RELEASE IT ON MY BIRTHDAY! :OOOO

    I'd rather them take their time and make sure the game is done right, than rush it out and have to patch it a ton to fix it. A June release date seems too soon considering they just finished the forest biome's. I personally don't like how crafting is done via blueprints, how do you find them? I am pretty sure they won't just be sitting on alien planets it'd be kinda weird.

    Well it could work both ways. The might have hired someone new because they're worried that they won't release it around the time they wanted. It could also mean that they've found someone who specialises in a particular area of programming, so they'll be the guy for the job!

    Can't agree with this more - I'd rather have a finished game than a rushed game. As for the blueprints, I'm not sure - but I'd rather find out whilst playing the game because finding things out is part of the excitement.

    The devs said they hope to get it done by July or August but it may take all the way to september.

    I think if it comes out in July then July 29th would be a safer bet.

    Realisitically I think it will come out the second or 3rd week of august.

    It's also my birthday month! Honestly I want to take a long time to develop so it has lot's of game play. Minecraft and terraria I maxed out fast so all that matters to me is that it has days and days of game play.
