Superfluous J Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 no, read again. It's due on a tuesday, they don't say which tuesday.Um...To clear up any confusion from the previous tweet, 0.23 is due on Tuesday the 17th. Right day, wrong date. Either way, 0.23 is on the way!(Amusingly, I had that in a hand-coded "quote" but the forum though I hadn't typed 10 characters. More ironically, this aside would have given me more than enough extra characters and I'd not have had to remove the quote markup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckless Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Um...To clear up any confusion from the previous tweet, 0.23 is due on Tuesday the 17th. Right day, wrong date.

More ironically, this aside would have given me more than enough extra characters and I'd not have had to remove the quote markup)Yes, but they didn't say which month/year it was in...Fun thing about release dates, so many developers have their own take on them. One of my clients uploaded their latest release candidate to my company for pre-release testing this morning. We did our initial test pass and signed off on its gold status this evening. This means that the files we got are most likely the files the players will get... In a few more days. We have another few days of testing to finish the sign off, and then the client will announce the release will hit on some set date about another week after that. Things will mostly likely go smoothly.Compare this however to another client I work with who frequently promises releases on a fixed date before they are finished. They will then spend the day or two just before that date scrambling to finish things (Paying me mad over time usually, and even more to bring extra in off planned leave time. Funny how there is usually a flurry of people booking time off the day they announce the date of their next release...), and they will usually end up being a day or two late anyway.Then there are a few more who will decide a build has a low enough number of critical and majors, and just drop it off any old time. Final common group are like those who drop builds any old time, except they don't always push them through us for testing before they do so. Then they get shocked and surprised over some random new critical bug users report or that we turn up a few days after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Logic' says you're just jinxing yourself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borzwazie Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I would like to point out that the 17th is my birthday. Clearly, this release was Squad's birthday present to me. I'm happy to share, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythbusters844 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Let me timewarp... wait where's the > button? Oh wait... I have a massive school assignment due on the same day, so it will be a nice break too. Of course, if I finish the brochure that's due the day after and don't procrastinate o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
