Hey everyone:

If you haven't seen the story, check it out. We will be posting more info on the game very shortly, including new screenshots and designer notes, as well as some other cool stuff to help pass the time until the game comes out.

Also, the counter is indeed pointing to the time the demo will appear on this website, so keep an eye on it. When it hits zero, the demo of SMAC will have landed!

Yay! Info! Yay! (repeat for next hour!)

Okay, so the counter does point to the demo, but I still worry about a modification to the target date, making it run slower. Note that he didn't say when it will reach zero. I think that its going to slow way down when Saratov tests the engines in the story. Hey, wait! Did Mike say that the new episode is up?

Damn. I was right. :(
Oh well, who wants to play with their clock settings to find out the new target?

I do, I'll have the calculations soon, hopefully.

Thanks Mike, but did you know that New World Computing is moving Heroes of Might and Magic III to January too? If you're out to avoid competition, it's not gonna happen.

I'd like to thank Firaxis for the classy way they handled the news. While we are dissapointed, we realize the importance of the mission and while we have little faith in Captain Garland, we have absolute faith in Firaxis.

I calculated the new ETA for the demo to be around the 15th of November. At least we now have some certainty on when when the demo comes out.
Cheers.

Thank you, MIKE!

I think I will play the game over X'mas.
