ChrisND Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Just a heads up guys that Final Blitzkrieg last week entered into what we call "Final Candidate". That means that the game is done and almost ready: we're just making installers, doing final checks and making sure that the game won't cause your monitor to violently explode (I let the testers check for that one in particular). When it's ready, we release. Final Candidate typically lasts from 2-3 weeks, depending on whether any problems are found. (and as mentioned it entered FC last week) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks, Chris. It's nice to know things are still rolling along. Barring the unforeseen, we might have it in a week or two? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An exploding monitor would actually be kind of immersive for the game but I guess detrimental to both health and economy in the long run. Good to hear that the game soon will be launched. Can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Speakup Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I hope the exploding monitor effect when occurring has been modeled correctly according to the calibre of weapon fired, and whether the round was HE or AP, if not there will be hell to pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juju Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Well, finally! Being rather too hopeful about the release date I started working on my first mod exactly two months ago, and I'm practically aching to take it for a test drive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have a correction for myself: the Demo is in Release Candidate. That is one step past Final Candidate and means that we think it's ready for release, it is just getting the final checks before it goes out the door. (this time the exploding monitor only slightly injured the tester, so good news!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG TOW Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Glad to hear it. I went looking for the manual thinking they are available pre release on the home page but can't find it. I did find a whole wack of new game pictures tho I didn't see before. Nice work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
