So.. how long is it estimated that BoA will be done?

I heard something about september 2003 last year.. but you know how they change :)

Edit: Just noticed.. "end of the year".. but any more accurate dates? Months?

I doubt very much that there is or ever will be a specific release date for BoA. A bug could be discovered 2 days before the intended release that requires a major recoding, delaying BoA around a week and getting the community all riled at Jeff. So, no concrete release dates.

Late 2003-early 2004 (December 2003-March? 2004).

xxo is most certainly correct. We have answered this same question a million times...

I'm sure you have.. I just couldn't find the answer around.

Thanks anyway

Ps. Any possibilities of a pre-order? ;)

I understand... sorry if that sounded mean. I didn't mean it that way.

And we did discuss the possiblity of a pre-order a while ago, and Jeff gave a sort of jokingly-"we'll see". We might want to let him know now if we want it. Though, the point is near useless. There is absolutly no chance of copies running out, as he makes them himself.

There's no chance of copies running out because you will almost certainly be able to download BoA. Bandwidth may become a problem, though, so pre-order your spot in the downloading queue today!

—Alorael, who could see the advantage of pre-orders if Jeff had no idea how many copies would be needed. But after 9 games, not including those not programmed by Jeff, he'd better know how many customers he has!

Pre-order download spot... [chuckle]

And yes, I would bet Jeff has a rough estimate on how many users he has. It seems that mostly the same people that bought the original games are the ones still buying the games.

And pardon my ignorance to downloads... while I do download the shareware, I also usually by a backup version on disk.
