Update on Exodus of the Machine timeframe (updated May 1st)

[chemical_art]

I'm glad you decided to focus on SC over this. I wanted to like this, but it just kept naturally making me think it was like too many other already available games so made me zzzz...

SC on the other hand is pretty unique in modern gaming.

Hope it happens one day, I was looking forward to this one.

Aye, I agree with this.

I only just noticed this bit about Exodus being put on hold, and while that is unfortunate....   I think you guys have all of the right reasons to do so.    And as interesting as Exodus may seem, I would indeed prefer to see more of Skyward instead;  it's just been that darned good.

There is lots more Skyward in the pipeline, and I think you'll really love Bionic Dues as well; both are evolving really well, and a huge new update for Skyward should actually drop today (I've been working on it all week, so it's massive).

......Bionic what now?


Feel like I'm missing something here, but I dont recall that name...

And yeah, saw the update notes for the upcoming Skyward patch, it sounds really great.  didn't expect such a huge one!

It's right behind you.  Nothing to worry about.

I don't think you meant 'Grater Control' in those update notes, or is cheese more important than I thought?

Cheese control is one of the most important disciplines in AIW (both playing it and developing it).  Not sure about SC.

Oop, thanks.

As much as my curiosity has got me dying to find out what Bionic Dues is all about, i am guessing it will be the end of August or going into September before you are ready to talk about it. Which is actually probably the best idea anyway. It worked good for SC and am hoping it works great for BD too.  Talking too early might be a bane. Anyway, my curiosity is still there, its just probably best to not think about that until later.

Oh no, I'm sure he's ready and chomping at the bit to talk about it, he just hasn't because he thinks he shouldn't. He reminds me of my friend, who'll work on a project for a while in secret... and then he's like... okay fine, I'll tell you about it! He just gets so excited about his stuff, and so does Chris. I remember not having any kind of conversation related to any project and he was like 'okay you got some extra information about skyward collapse out of me'. I'm betting he's super excited to talk about it.

[x4000]

Definitely excited, but having two active projects in the hopper at least gives me some outlet to talk about one without spoiling the other.   The other project being the Nihon no Mura expansion.  Bionic is coming along well, but I want to get the art to a certain stage, and the prototype fully functional in gameplay to a certain stage, before we start talking about it much.  I held back until that same point with Skyward, which was useful; before that I was excited about it, but didn't say much at all (amazingly).

[LaughingThesaurus]

Yeah, I figured hanging back on talking about Bionic Dues was mostly actually because of the prototype. You said something about having to build the prototype before you know how well it really works in practice, right? Well, what's the sense getting people excited about something that possibly won't work?
And yes, that is actually really reasonable for an outlet as well. Two projects, and talking about one helps get out your excitement to talk about stuff.

[Teal_Blue]

Just a thought, but if SC expansions go well and Bionic Dues hits as good as SC did, then maybe Exodus of the Machine might make a comeback? A strategic turn-based game sounds interesting to me.

Probably not, but you never know.
