That's right. Lar NEVER changed the name of a game under the pressure of the publisher.

It was the publisher who did it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Ah the name! Who cares about the name? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

If it's going on in that way seen in the screenshots it will be probably well.
Seems to have a nice atmosphere in well known environment.

I'm getting nervous and can't hardly wait to visit Aleroth again, see the cute reed covered houses and the hobbling rabbits inside the lovely herb garden, nibbling the cabbage and carrots ... till they enrich my menu. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

apparentely Larian Studios is on some kind of annual vacation so that's prolly why not a lot of replies come from them.

If you look at a certain topic in the chat (anything) section you can guess why parts of us are in holiday now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

So how long does it take to actualy make a game??

I mean if you have got the ideas and drawings of a potential game...how long will it take to make the graphics corrosponding to the drawings and impart all those ideas into the game?

Well according to my course in Software engineering.

Rational unified process: Is an cycle that when completed gives a new version(testing,alpha, bèta.. )

one cycle consists of 4 stages

the inception phase (research, financial, risk's, scope, (10-20% of the use case))
elaboration phase (mile wide inch deep design, researching and solving the technical risks, 80% of the use case diagram completed) this gives you an idea if the goals are feasible
construction fase (construction and integration of the project)
transition phase (phase where they see if they have reached theire goals and get feedback)

(I refer you to pm me or the internet for more information about these phases)

In a long and complicated project the time frame is as followed:

5-20% of the time in the inception phase
24-33% of the time in the elboration fase
60-40% of the time in the construction fase
8-7% of the time in the transition phase


Now since they have had a test level we can assume they completed this cycle 1 or 2 times. I think they are now in the 3rd cycle at elboration (HDR lighning) or construction.

So if we take in account that they still have 3-4 cycles to go it could take a while (altough the last cycles are the fastest). My guess is that they are at 60% (that would mean release Q3-Q4 2006).

that is if they are useing the RUP model, thay also could be using Prototyping (highly unlikely in such a big project) or extreme programming. Well there ar many models they could uses.

But I have always liked the phrase

It's done when it is done

Ok thanks Morbo.

The reason i ask...and i know people might think im mad but i have a few ideas for my own video game. When i mean ideas,i mean the main plot,story,quests,abilities,scenery,cinemtatics,statistics of heros/moneters and i plan to make drawings and my own music.(I have to learn how to draw..lol)

The problem..well the most glaring one is that i have no idea how to transfer all this onto the computer screen...to use lay-mans terms, but your explantion seems like the computer stuff is the most hardest work of the all.

I makes me appriciate all the good work that larian do.
