It sucks, because I definitely would have backed this game on kickstarter when I saw it. Unfortunately I only found out about it after the greenlight release and now I am doomed to pleb status for all eternity.

Ahh, well we're still early-access players. That's technically alpha/beta testing, right? We're not as pleb as those post-release players.

Huh... there's more update info on Madoc's Beam page:

Latest beta patch link: dl.baremettle.com/Exanima_U_0.6.4.1c.exe (requires 0.6.3.8)
Exanima 0.6.4.1 release notes:
- New shield skill: Endure
- New shield skill: Mobility
- Shields now have stats
- Changes to various shield mechanics
- NPC shield builds
- Shield wielding master combatants
- Adept tier ogre matches (weapons need updating)
- Many new items
- Numerous bug fixes

So there's still too far for the open beta update... but let stay positive 'bout what will we have after just few weeks... maybe...

There is literally a beta within this beta that was limited time access only.

True beta is reserved for the 1%!
I say we riot!
:^)

Seriously though, this is depressing.

Same here. Only bought this yesterday but know I'm hooked already, the torment of missing out will be long.

Oh and hi all

Yeah, I bought it 11 months ago. Being perpetually 3 updates behind (regardless of stability) doesn't feel too nice.

There are some that keep saying "should be done by the end of the month", "should be ready any day now", etc.. I just keep coming home every day still expecting to see something... but knowing that I never really will.

This is true for a lot of things tbh. Work, love and even taking out the trash

EDIT: I'm all for the riot, I don't have any pitchforks but I can bring some rope.

Roryn · Sep 2, 2016

Well this time I thought maybe they'd give us a first-day-of-the-month surprise. Nup

MegaFarinato · Sep 2, 2016

why not a 3rd or 4th day of the month surprise?

Roryn · Sep 2, 2016

I'd be pretty happy with that too. Shall we hope?

MegaFarinato · Sep 3, 2016

Why shan't we?

Torxe · Sep 3, 2016

Not a single developer likes a friday or weekend release that's all I have to say about this.

MegaFarinato · Sep 3, 2016

why not?

Hedgehog-of-Fog · Sep 3, 2016

Hmmm...
That's on Madoc's Beam page

Because if what you released has a bug, you can't fix it until Monday, or you'll have to go to work during the weekend to fix it. So, either customers will remain unsatisfied for the entire weekend, or you'll relinquish your rest. It isn't worth the risk.

Releasing on friday, means that if things go wrong, they go wrong during the weekend. And you either have to work during the weekend to solve it or go from hero to zero in less then 2 days.

I'm a developer myself (only web applications though, nothing gaming related), I speak from experience.

MegaFarinato · Sep 3, 2016

Live has many surprises!

Madoc works 7 days a week so it doesn't matter if it's a weekend or not. BTW, new patch is up on Steam for everyone and soon it'll be added to GoG and the BM account page as well
