OOTP 10 to be released first week of June, preorder period about to end!

Markus Heinsohn · 05-22-2009, 09:41 AM

Hey friends,

the game is almost ready, but we won't be able to release it in May without rushing it. So, we have decided to release it during the first week of June. Also, the pre-order period will end in a few days, so in case you have not preordered yet, this is your last chance to save $10 and get the game two days prior to the official launch!

The complete news can be seen here, along with a few new screenshots:
OOTP Developments Newsletter - Preorder period of OOTP 10 about to end!

Enjoy!
Markus

PS: I know that I mentioned a May release all the time, but I'd rather spend an additional week testing and fine-tuning. The game is already in great shape, still I want this anniversary release to be as flawless as possible!

Thank you for the update.

Thanks for the update Markus!

EDIT: Btw, I am really impressed by the improved fictional logos.

Nice to see some info. Even it annoys a few people.

kcroyalgm · 05-22-2009, 09:46 AM

Won't please everyone, of course.
But fine with me.
Better it be finished properly than rushed.
Thanks for update and all your good work.

One thing:

Presumably the individual pitch ratings are out of 250? But shouldn't that be made clear (like it is above the "Other Offensive Ratings" box)?

Assos · 05-22-2009, 09:59 AM

Looks very nice, alomost like a merging of many ideas from 6.5 and the newer versions. I shall be pleased.

jtb · 05-22-2009, 10:04 AM

Thanks for the update Markus!

The new screenshots look outstanding!

AirmenSmith · 05-22-2009, 10:05 AM

Thanks for the update. Take your time there is no rush, test everything you need to and release it when its rdy.

BMD · 05-22-2009, 10:08 AM

Shhhhh. If you listen very closely you can actually hear the sound of dozens of panties becoming unbunched.

Thanks for the heads up, Markus

Broth32 · 05-22-2009, 10:16 AM

That's all I was looking for - an update and a release week! kewl

senorcoo · 05-22-2009, 10:22 AM

Funny, I got the message and my trousers became engorged.

Lol.

This is great news. So great, in fact, that this thread should be stickied.

thbroman · 05-22-2009, 10:47 AM

Ok, so I guess this means that I can stop checking the hotmail account every 15 minutes to see if the installation key has arrived?

Thanks for the news. It's helpful to know this and to know you've given yourself an extra window for final polishing.

It'll certainly reduce the frequency of the high pitched whine around here recently.

philthepat · 05-22-2009, 11:08 AM

Excellent news! Roll on the first week in June!

RobWarwick · 05-22-2009, 11:14 AM

Thank you. I appreciate the update.

I'm still not thrilled with how this whole thing went down, but, at least you've finally nailed down an actual time frame we can sink our teeth into.

Hmmmm..First week in June for the release. This falls under the original promise of SPRING. No surprises here on the release. I think I may have to pre-order and save the $10 soon.

TavesSoul · 05-22-2009, 12:03 PM

Thanks for the update! Glad to have a solid timeframe of when I can expect the game.
