Wave One Release Time - 24 Hour Delay

*UPDATE*

Due to VARIOUS issues, I'm holding it back a day. Ive been sat here whittling for the past hour as to whether I'll meet this deadline and the answer is, no. Not without bucket loads of stress. So as of this second, the release may be around midnight tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning.
I've got to acknowledge that despite potentially letting some people down, I'm not paid for the work I do here and it's supposed to be enjoyable, and right now, enjoying it I am not.

-

I've been absolutely inundated with mails, comments, posts, you name it, and they're all asking the same question.

What time is it going live?

Answer: On the 30th. This means up until 23:59 if I have to, I'm working on my own and completely against the odds here. Bug finding, scripting, you name it.

Wave One is a work in progress and will be released today, but at what time I'm not going to commit to because in all honesty, I don't know.

Appreciate and adore the enthusiasm, but I'm only human and incredibly stretched to the limits today.

You were 201 :P
and oh god it moved to a new page, this has never happened before what is going on help

Kris said...

It hasn't, that's... intimidating

Cwang92 said...

I... I think... I think we might've broken like a wall in reality or something... Or at least dented it.

Kris said...

Final testing ongoing atm, courtesy of some very devoted testers.
Taking their feedback to refine into a more streamlined experience for you all

John Smith said...

Sounds like it's about to release then if everything goes right :)
It's nice with little updates!

My Doctor ended up in vegas thanks to the tardis that malfunction and threw him in a different reality where the world already was completely Apocalyptic and now he is trying to adjust for the time being...

a new page for all the WOOOOOO's and YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH's..... this seems like its going to be fun! i bet new release date... 5th of april :) take your time guys!!! :)

Unknown said...

i think bloggers clocks a bit off... :)

RottenApple said...

5th of April? I hope its soon or tomorrow cx

Kris said...

In all honesty, release is most likely tomorrow. What I don't want is to release it and for people to be utterly confused with the sheer amount of content in it.
Plus the testers all keep hitting the odd snag here and there and I want it perfect.

RottenApple said...

Kris, I would love to meet you someday.

betaboy4916 said...

ok if you need more time that's perfectly understandable. However, you would get significantly less harassment messages if you would make up your mind. Once again not trying to be rude, but it does get a little annoying hearing "it'll probably be released tomorrow" three days in a row. Personally, I'd be much happier being told next week instead of being told tomorrow for seven days. For everyone's sanity, especially yours, I think you should pick a future date (a week for example), and just stick with it. Take all the time you want, that's not the problem, it's the continuous 24 hour set-backs.

Anonymous said...

I concur with this idea of 'a week from now' release date. Gives you flexibility of time, write yourself a list lf bullet points that you want in wave one, give yourself extra time so you can spare a few moments for a cuppa, and then you don't have to stress over angry e-mails and not being able to live up with your promises.
We are all just desperate fanboys/girls, we mean you no harm, we just want what you have worked so hard to accomplish.
Good Luck and keep up the great work guys.

RottenApple said...

I'm not sure if I can wait a week xD

Cwang92 said...

People think time is a linear progression of cause and effect.. but actually, from a non-linear non-subjective viewpoint.. its actually a big ball of whibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff (that's what a mutual "friend" taught me). Which means, that somewhere out there... We already have Fallout Who. And flying cars. And commercial space travel. And cyborg implants.... So why worry about WHEN its coming out if we know we are gonna have it... Lol.

RottenApple said...

Well its 2:23AM and I think Kris has probably turned in for the night, I cant speak for him of corse but if he has turned in. Happy dreams Kris :P

Can I just point out something here?
Like many of you, I'm desperate to play this. This breathes life into a game that needs a new perspective to someone like me. I've been looking forward to this since I first played Fallout Who for FO3.

However, I can tell you from my own experience that the people here testing and coding are all doing so in an attempt to make this as perfect as a possible; this is a good thing! Would you prefer an extremely buggy release that only works for a minority of people, or would you prefer a release that will work regardless of most other mods? Many of you seem angry that instead of answering your questions and updating the project blog, Kris and co have decided to focus on trying to get it ready as quickly as possible, yet you are even more angry that it isn't ready yet.

This is software, people! Be patient. They have been working on this for years, they want it out the door just as much as you. They also don't want to have to deal with 1000's of bugs just because one user has an outdated graphics card that does not like the TARDIS's movement or another user has a small tiny mod somewhere among the game's files which makes the sonic screwdriver crash the game or another bug which crashes the user's computer because they tried to dematerialize the TARDIS then enter a new cell before it was complete. Bugs can literally get as crazy as that o.o


So simmer down. Calm down. It will be released when it's done, and asking for promises to be made and/or kept will only lead to heartbreak because you simply can't know if you've fixed every bug until they no longer appear.

sssssssssssooooooooooooooo is it being released today kris ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:)

Lizario said...

Well said that guy. Kris and demmgy keep going for as long as you need we can wait a bit longer if we have to. Remember patients is a virtue :) guys seriously have faith in the modders in new to modding and am working on a few mods myself but i wouldn't put it past the team to just say you know what i cant be bothered anymore with all the bad comments and harassment towards them. I personally respect them (the team) for putting up with it all. Most people would give up with all the criticism they receive.

people i suggest you think before you give them harsh judgement i know your frustrated but it will come in time.

keep going lads your doing brilliantly.

thatguy said...

i agree lizario but i must say ....... gods speed modders gods speed

John Smith said...

Noone is giving them harsh judgement or being impatient anymore (or atleast not impatient to that big of an extent)

all I see from some blue name people are just repeated walls of text that's already been posted and that's halfway un-true because of when they're posted.

My point is, that they always mention how people are being impatient and rude, yet there are currently 0 amount of people in the comments, who:

1. harass him,
2. bash on him,
3. demand a release,
4. ask for a buggy release,
5. insult him,
...and whatever else the blue named people have mentioned in their text walls.



All they are doing right now is asking when it will be released - which, I guess it's a form of impatience, but not really necessary to write a huge "copied" wall of text about the same thing a few times just because one or two people on the comments are asking when it will be out

I don't mean to offend anyone but it's getting a bit annoying seeing blue name people (not generalizing people with accounts here, just grouping the people who do it up because it's mainly blue name people) write out these huge walls of text "bashing" (not really bashing) on commenters because of very few, and trivial comments they made asking about time, or when it will be released.

Some people will be ignorant and not read the rest of the comments section and demand a release, but those people have stopped demanding. And some people are just straight out annoyed by how it's never released (Which, I know about the whole part where Demeggy had a horrible weekend, and is very stressed out about it, etc)

This is probably horribly written out because I just woke up and bla bla, but since a few nights ago on this comments page I have seen so many blue named people do what I said and claim people are doing what they aren't really doing anymore.

Lizario said...

Thanks thatguy. Its people like you that make me smile, that relieves the modder and encourages them to do well. Thank you thatguy for your support and encouragement. Hey guys lets show our appreciation for Kris, Demmegy and the team by giving them a "shout out".
People say what country your from and where you will be playing Who Vegas. It may encourage the team to see how many followers who respect what they are doing from around the world.

Sure they can take all the time they want creating the mod, I can wait. But what I am growing tired of is them telling us release dates the never keep. They have said "it will be released tomorrow" for 4 days now!

@John Smith;

Short version: "People assume that development is a strict progression of start to release date, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... developy welopy... stuff."

Long version: earlier comments gave me the impression of a group of people screaming "WE WANT IT NOW!" if my wall of text happened to stop someone saying something along the lines of "Come on hurry up I wanna play!" as previous comments have done, then it's fulfilled it's purpose.

I know from the developers point of view it's frustrating to see those sorts of messages. Rule #1 when working with a community, the unhappy will always speak up, the happy generally won't. Rule #2, most of the comments will annoy you extremely, especially if you've been missing sleep or other such duties to deliver.



Unknown said...

good point dante. Kris it doesnt matter about the wait... just what the wait is for :). amy didnt stay up all night to be disappointed did sh-.........bad exaple

Tarminuus said...

The fans who waited xD

Cwang92 said...

Just thought I'd point this out... Kris and Demeggy are the same guy.. Just to clear up any confusion...

Tarminuus said...

:O Like Mels and River Song?!?!

thats a way of putting it...i..guess?

Unknown said...

Guys....this comment section may have 3 pages soon!! :O so ecited for release!!

Tarminuus said...

lol xD

Unknown said...

Hey kris, I was wondering if we could perhaps have a bit of a teaser while waiting, it's cool if not I appreciate that you're very busy with your life and the mod at the moment -not to mention the people flaming you- c:

Anonymous said...

31 March Should have it knocked up soon.
1 April It'll be out today.
1 April When I put the download link up this afternoon.
1 April I can hear a Type 40 approaching...
1 April It'll be later this evening, that's for certain.
1 April Release is most likely tomorrow.

Did it come on any of these times? NO! I am not being a hater, take all the time you need Demeggy, we don't want a mod full of bugs. But please, please stop saying release dates until you know 100% that it will be out. :-)

Jamie said...

Just as long as It is Today.... he did say it was 90% complete with people testing it so maybe he hasent got that much more to do, but Im guesing he's been at work today maybe.. so perhaps he hasent had a chance to work on it which maybe means tomorrow

Tarminuus said...

It doesn't matter if you say "I'm not a hater" and dress it up in complements: you're harassing him. If you don't like waiting, don't wait. Go away. The fact you're here obviously shows you care about this mod. You'll download it regardless of when it comes out so what's the point of complaining. Saying "I'm not a hater" is like point a gun and someone's head, pulling the trigger and saying "I didn't shoot them." Maybe you didn't mean to shoot them but as a result of your actions, you shot them.

Cwang92 said...

That was a pretty good analogy....
And anonymous: we respect you're opinion and hope that that in no way impedes your eventual enjoyment of the mod, but I don't think the developers care whether or not anyone is upset... They have more important things to handle. Saying that... I'd say if you are tired of waiting.. Bide your time with some other activity. I hear skyrim is nice this time of year.

Anicarth said...

259* whats up everyone? looking forward to the mod. lets get the comments to 300!

Cwang92 - Ever thought of asking for the title of The Fallout Who Blogger Peace keeper position?

Sure lets do this thing! Ummm... Lets see, what to comment about... Oh! How about "would you like a jelly baby?"

Head of the Fallout Who Shadow Proclamation

Cwang92 said...

An Avid Fan- I'd be honored for such a title... But I don't think that would be a wise career move.. I mean it doesn't even have a 401K! XD

Unknown said...

Haha so true Cwang xD I've been playing skyrim non-stop and downloading mods for it (got a Thor one atm) alongside that been watching some Doctor Who to get me excited for the mod (:

Anonymous said...

All I did was suggesting them to not put up any release dates until they know for sure it will be out, exactly how is that hating? :-/

Tarminuus said...

They need patience right now. Obviously they thought they could meet those deadlines but circumstances arose which meant they could not. "Did it come on any of these times? NO!" That seemed very aggressive and angry to me, based on the capitalization of "no" and the exclamation mark. Rage or anger is always caused by the dislike of something...or some may even say "hatred"?

Anonymous said...

Well, however it looked I didn't mean anything bad at all. It can take how long they want, I only want it to be perfect. Sorry if it sounded angry.

Tarminuus said...

That's k. Sorry if I blew the situation out of proportion. Have a jammy dodger :3

Or WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA?!

Tarminuus said...

How would a Dalek pour?

Now lets all gather around a campfire and sing "kumbaya"!

"The Trilogy Ninja" aka AJ said...

So is now a bad time to ask about the potential for "Skyrim who"?.... *is pelted to death by keyboards, hard drives and other bits of computer that were easy to hand*

In all seriousness though, as an avid player of the fallout 3 mod i can wait for this for as long as is needed. your a credit Kris for starting this up and i just wanna say thankyou for the impending awesomeness

Anonymous said...

Tarminus has just figured out why the Daleks are so bloody angry all the time. They can't pour the tea! I can make it, look at it, smell it, and of course EXTERMINATE! it. But they can't pour it.

Or drink it.

Poor, poor, misunderstood daleks...

Tarminuus said...

They need claws and funnels. Then they'd be able to unwind and show how nice and peaceful they actually are after a morning cuppa.

No, right, I'm not giving a release date or time. Just keep watching here.

Happy?

Happiness, like time, is subject. In this case. We hope you are happy, Kris! This is supposed to be Happy work! Not 'Bridge Over The River Kwia' kinda work.. hehe

30 March Release Date
31 March "Should have it knocked up soon."
1 April "It'll be out today."
1 April "When I put the download link up this afternoon."
1 April "I can hear a Type 40 approaching..."
1 April "It'll be later this evening, that's for certain."
1 April "Release is most likely tomorrow."

Demeggy i think you should stop, take a breather, and decide when you can get this mod out without causing stupid amounts of stress to yourself. Just make the release date the 9th and then take your time with it. Because these quotes are kinda annoying

Kris said...

They are aren't they. You have my deepest apologies, I hope I'm not causing you too much stress?
When you're appreciating the mod, with no effor put in other than downloading, unzipping and firing up the game, I want you to really appreciate this apology right here and now.

Because I'm sorry that I'm working my arse off to bring you all something you desperately want.

I'm sorry that I'm breaking my promise to you, truly, because at the end of the day, the 2 years of work, the endless days and nights sitting and modding, then waking and shooting off to a day job, just isn't enough is it?

I've had enough to be honest.

Apologies to all, but I'm not entirely certain why I'm doing this?

Unknown said...

just wondering, will this need any additional files to run?..apart from FOSE of course

Jakeman said...

Anonymous, shut up. What Kris said.

SavingLiam said...

Well Kris, if you feel that you don't want to be doing this work anymore, or you can't handle the hate from broken promises, then throw up what you've done and be done with it, just leave it be. Everyone who has sent you hate will come crawling back because they've found a bug that is having an impact on their game, don't let the assholes be fed, we all love you man, we want the best for you, just take your time with this release, have a cuppa, enjoy your life. Take this mod as a leisure, we don't need it right away, it's only a desire, release it whenever the fuck you want. Fuck it, release it the same time as the 50th Anniversary if you want.
Keep up the great work man, don't let these assholes get to you.

Anonymous said...

As we said, don't worry Kris, take the time you want nevermind the impatient ones because you know:

Earth is round but there are "silly people" in each corner.

We really appreciated (well most of us i think) the Fallout Who mods for Fallout 3.

We all hope these versions will be as fantastic. :)

@daniel malpas

well, i think all the DLCs will be required as the Fallout 3 version.

Am i right Kris?

Kris said...

No guys, no DLC required.

Lizario said...

IM sure i told you this earlier guys. Kris will get so frustrated that he wont do the mod. Then everyone who has supported him will miss out because of some silly comments. Just wait for it to come out. Well don't Kris keep up the good work and thank you again.

Lizario said...

No probs Kris take your time buddy.

Anonymous said...

kris you must've read my comment wrong, I was telling you to take your time with it. I know it has been causing stress and that's why you should take a break with it. I wasn't intending to cause any more stress and i'm sorry that I did.
