Nooooo~ I was looking forward to a Chrismas release.
I want to believe, VD~

Let me ask you, are you guys working on the game full time, or just as a "hobby". If the former, how do you make a living, when no publisher finances your work.We're a small team, so with one programmer, one artist responsible for everything, one writer, things take a while and even the most mundane tasks still eat a lot of time.
We spent 2012 tweaking the systems and bringing the demo areas to the point where most people were satisfied with them. We released R1 in March and R3 in October. We didn't expect things taking so long, but they did. Then we started working on the rest, but due to various circumstances we did about 70% of the game by August (not 100) and thus weren't able to release this year. So, we decided to release the second 'chapter' this year.
It wasn't. The focus was on replayability.Although if what we saw with Teron was already 33% of the game, and we're now going to see the second 33% or 50% or whatever, seems to me it was never going to be a terribly long or large game...
Not really.... and now I'm wondering how compact it must have been if the delays of 2012-4 are mainly about adding more flesh to the bone.

VD is chilling on his VP-savings and the others are most probably students or something. Either supported by state or their moms. Oh and dead state pays something. One of the devs (Oskar?) is working on that too.Let me ask you, are you guys working on the game full time, or just as a "hobby".

We've always worked part-time. Nick, Oscar, and Ivan had daytime jobs. Then Brian hired them to work full-time on Dead State, so from that perspective nothing has changed.Let me ask you, are you guys working on the game full time, or just as a "hobby".

I already got two degrees since AoD went into production
Is this the date for the full complete release or the pre-order exclusive 60%-of-the-game release?

It is only logical to conclude that you owe your degrees to AoD, then, for it is clear that you wouldn't get them if AoD hadn't gone into production.

The full complete release, of course. The new demo is coming out any day now. It'll compete with the Wasteland 2 beta!

I doubt it will be a competition. I don't expect W2 beta to be anything more than a semi-working Junktown demo. AoD is the clear winner.
Ah yes, the famous Vincent D. Weller. I'm familiar with his work.My doctoral dissertation will feature a quotation from The Vault Dweller. The placement and the name will make it seem like it is a literary reference, so everyone will be too scared of revealing their own literary ignorance to question it.
i'll be very butthurt if that doesn't happenAfter Chaos Chronicles this is my most anticipated game.
The real question is, does VD enjoy being seeing himself as a starving artist?
If he releases an average game, then he becomes just another average developer.
The longer he holds off releasing the thing, the longer he holds off that moment of truth.
