ntsheep - the rule is we say "soon" all the time but we never give an ETA

I must say that for a very small crew like this, giving an ETA is really doing a disservice to the product. Though there are people that work *better* under a deadline, giving an ETA prevents possible bug fixing and testing before release. Alpha tests are usually bug-laden as it is, its part of the deal Why add to it and place more pressure on the dev team than is necessary? No reason to turn a 'career' into a 'job'.

A good policy, and one I live by for the most part.

Yeeeehaw! Very excited, TA2 has been a dream of mine. Can we ask one small thing, from the screenshots it looks like your sprites are up to a HoS level of detail which is super, duper awesome. Any plan for cosmetic customization of out troops? You mentioned that we will be able to select portraits for our characters so I was thinking it might be possible to anticipate some kind of armor coloring/squad flag creation/etc.

Per Templar Knight, you'll be able to mix and match portrait and armor coloration from a list we provide in game. We can't provide a full "color picker" for the armor or anything, but we will provide a solid list of options, promise. Also, avoiding a "color picker" design means we can go past just colors and actually roll out armors that are different in their design and trimmings.

Every time you and Cory post something new about a game in development, I drool while reading the post! Now I gotta clean my computer!

So you are saying fallen that "soon" it will end but this isn't an "eta" of the fact that it's going to end.
