You realize that its January now and there are still no new updates on the orcs. T_T I could have sworn that Steven said we would be getting updates on them towards the end of the year, but I cannot for the life of me find the quote. I know we got a description and some pictures a few months ago but that was not what he was talking about afaik.

    Looked myself, found nothing. Sounds familiar.

    Maybe we are both from the same alternate reality where he said that...

    If I had more time, I would write a shorter post.

    I say skip the Cannon fodder and bring on the Tulnar.
    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    It was when he was discussing the dwarves, he was saying something about having them both come out at the same time.

    I also think I heard Steven say something about Ren'kai before the end of the year. I'm not sure I fancy listening to ~7-8 months worth of livestreams to find out.
    Possible outcomes:
    1) exact quote of a broken promise. [I would be disappointed both in Steven and for Steven]
    2) Ren'kai were stated as "should" by the end of the year, or otherwise caveat-ed. [I would be 'meh']
    3) I lose 10? hours of my life and learn nothing. [I would be depressed]
    None of the above tell me any details about the Ren'kai.
    For me, it's something to look forward to during the long wait for A2.

    I'm willing for you to make that sacrifice for us all.

    I am actually watching all the videos on the Ashes youtube in chronological order. I started last fall. I've just gotten to the first Dev Diary in march 2019. I'll let you know in a few months if I find anything in the more recent videos. :D

    Pretty sure it's the September live stream with the node simulation that he says it in. Could be wrong

    As others have said, Steven and dates aren't the best combo. We were also supposed to see "a lot" of the archetypes before the end of last year but it didn't happen because they're still working on the combat system.

    So, they are transparent and show what they've worked on, and they are very careful to be up-front about how animation is very unpolished and needs more passes. They even specifically talk about ways they will improve it, having more impactful combat animations, adding the feeling of weight, toning down the flashy effects away from the defaults that came from the engine. And then people watch those videos and gripe about the things that they specifically say they're going to change.

    So yeah, Intrepid Studios, if you feel you're not ready to show the systems that aren't fully realized yet, DON'T. Don't give the savages more chum to put them in a frenzy. If you need to take your time to get it right, do that.

    Show; not tell.

    It's OK.

    They will show when Steven is ready.
