Any news would be good news

[Traker]

Hi
I have been following this for a while now and was wondering if there is any news good or bad to be had about the state of this game.

Thanks for any info given.

With regards to "When will the game be ready?". With a little luck the game could be ready before the end of 2012. This is not an announcement just my best estimate for now.

I am happy to report that everything is going as planned and my earlier estimate is on target (as in the above quote). We are making heady progress and I expect to make a formal announcement with more details this summer.

If you haven't already you can sign-up to our mailing listand/or keep checking.

And thank you for your interest in Horizon!

[Traker]

Thanks for the reply. I will keep checking back as well as I am looking forward to this as it is looking good.

Still lurking around every now and then just to see if anything"s happened.

A quick update:

Overall things are progressing very well.

We've been busy updating the graphics system, cutscenes and implementing the remaining gameplay features from the original design. We are very close to feature complete (end of the alpha stage).

But we're not done yet. There are still several months of work ahead of us. Gameplay and audio enhancements and lots of testing to bring the game you've all been waiting for.

To end this report: G'Kar's (Babylon 5) words come to my mind: "Stay together! Just a little further to the gate."

[Zaimat]

Ran across this on a random search on Bing. Looks pretty good. Even if I never visit this site again, please keep up the good work. As a fellow game designer I know how tough it is to keep up with a project especially of this magnitude. I'm impressed and I hope you all finish all your goals. =)

Hello again, back to see how things are progressing and how far away are we from seeing something.

[Zaimat]

Hello Traker, things are coming along very nicely. We're still on track and the game is getting better with every build.

Horizon is a true sandbox game but it also has rich in lore races and a story, that's one of the things we are working on right now. So when you explore the galaxy these elements are revealed and (if you so choose to pursue) allow you to interact and make choices that can affect your relations with the other races and have some impact on how the game unfolds.

We are also working on completing the audio/music. Besides the in-game sfx/music our sound designer is also busy sound editing the 50 videos (10 cutscenes and 40 smaller clips).

I'll soon be updating/adding the screenshots section.

[Anguille]

Excellent news!

Look forward to see some new screenshots...

Cheers

[Traker]

Great to hear. Looking forward to some gameplay video

[Martok]

Outstanding news. Can't wait to see what you guys are coming up with.

Will it be ready by Christmas?

[Zaimat]

Horizon is coming along nicely but we still need to do proper beta testing which will take some time and push things into next year. We are also talking with publishers which all takes time.

In the meantime though we want to get more of Horizon revealed as we progress and get your feedback which is very helpful to us so we know we're on the right track.
