Garrulous Glaahk Painted Lady Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Does anyone know when Jeff will start the first rounds of testing for Avadon 3? I'm just curious about where he is in the development cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Jeff is going to start the first round of beta testing in a few weeks with the truly insane returning testers. I guess in a few months he will be requesting new volunteers. Jeff tweeted that he's completed about half the game. Blxz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish DanNeely Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 So ETA for general availability is probably going to be mid/late summer then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 4 to 5 months is the usual time frame depending upon whether Jeff decides to start Windows version testing, how long third party merchants like Apple and Steam hold it before certifying it's ready, and Jeff's health. Jeff's health may be the biggest delay since he's getting older and occasionally ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slarti Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Randomizer, you are like the opposite of a PR person. According to what you've written recently, Jeff is aging, frail, alcoholic, and lazy Blxz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Did I miss something? Unlike W. C. Fields, he does like kids, since he has two. But he is getting older, occasionally ill, according to his blog he did mention drinking his way through Great Britain, and it is taking longer between games. It hasn't gotten as bad as some other independent companies, but I want to game and not look at my taxes or worse the current election campaign here.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Haha. Anti PR indeed. I'll have to check out the blog wherever it is. sounds like thats how you guys keep abreast of events. His twitter is the most regularly updated way to hear from him. He also has a blog, but it hasn't updated in a few months and when it does update he links to it on his twitter anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Istara Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I believe Jeff is about the same age as I am. Clearly it's time for me to start researching retirement homes and invite some undertakers to measure me up for my coffin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I know that I am within one year of Jeff's age. That is old enough to be aware of one's mortality and also old enough to easily be anywhere on the spectrum from healthy to unhealthy based on a combination of genetics, attitude, personal health history and life style choices. I seem to remember Jeff referring to some major health problems in his past. As to attitude and life style choices, I will leave it to Slartibus and Randomizer to debate that one: Randomizer, you are like the opposite of a PR person.

Kyshakk Koan Istara Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 anywhere on the spectrum from healthy to unhealthy based on a combination of genetics, attitude, personal health history and life style choices. And sheer luck. I can think of any number of healthy people from healthy families struck down by the Big C. As well as overweight smokers with no apparent longevity in their genes making it well into their eighties and beyond. Either way, I hope Jeff lives well into his hundreds and keeps making games. Because let's face it, no one makes games like Jeff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
