Creation of version 0.7 has been started

Phishfinder · December 07, 2008, 20:00:32

How much longer until the release?? Can't wait!! :-D

Mikko_-Procyon- · December 08, 2008, 16:22:13

Janne was creating new menus and said "hell of a job". Dunno exactly, what he still needs to create, but we'll see.. I think there is small delay in the release, but IF I HAVE some time after Finnish Championships, I try to create one more new lake (and also got my computer working with editors.. new one coming with vista 64bit and I dont know are these editors compatible at all). So, more lakes to compensate the waiting? Not so bad deal? :D

cant you guys upload an beta version?

Phishfinder · December 08, 2008, 23:07:29

Just realized why "Mikko Happo" kicks my arse every time I play on diffifcult.... and Janne too. Had no idea you guys programmed yourselves in.... now that's funny!

Any chance of you guys ever releasing a lake editor/customizer into the public domain?

Anyways, your product absolutely rocks! Nothing like it on the market and believe me, I'll be busy in the off season!

So, Mikko.... what's you're favourite lure?? :roll: :roll: :-D

Mikko_-Procyon- · December 09, 2008, 00:36:17

Lake editors will not be published. It will ruin interest of the game.. Thats why it is better to keep it in private use only.

Lure.. uhh... In game I use that "red pystypilkki" or "kultasiipi" usually, but sometimes... hmm.. quite many possibilities.

Mikko, please do not make this game dependingl on Vista... Better of Linux:)

Kre · December 11, 2008, 14:01:29

Yes it would be terrible if I needed ms vista to run Propilkki 2 before I can run it on linux! :-( But if it will run on linux, then I don't really care anymore! :evil:

Mikko_-Procyon- · December 11, 2008, 14:18:07

I have heard, that if using Wine, this pp2 version works fine in linux. Have you tried it?

Kre · December 11, 2008, 15:06:38

wine alone doesn't solve the problem - running it just under wine the result is 1 frame per second. Still need to get directX running as well, but that's more of a problem in linux. Because linux doesn't support directx out of the box. If Propilkki 2 had OpenGL support then there wouldn't be any problems running it. And then there is still the port forwarding - threre are some progs on linux to handle that (as wine simulates windows environment, a program is needed to bridge the ports form wine to linux and to the net) , but don't know how well it works, as I haven't managed to get directX working properly..

Team Procyon started now the "last beta-tests" of 0.7 version. Beta-team will be activated also soon. After this short and effective period the game is ready for releasing. Estimated time schedule (without serious problems) is about 1-2 weeks.,

Dahlis · January 12, 2009, 20:24:07

come on gimme 0.7!!! cant wait anylonger..

Mikko_-Procyon- · January 13, 2009, 10:51:44

Beta-tests were "clear", only few bugs detected. The game will be released very soon! :D

Crom · January 13, 2009, 15:04:09

:-D jippi, good news at last 8-)

Mikko_-Procyon- · January 13, 2009, 22:10:49

Version 0.7 is now ready. It needs to get mirrored for several hosts now. Thereafter, our homepage needs to be updated and then the game is officially released!

The most probable release date is thursday, but if we have luck, then it is available at wednesday-thursday night.

Mikko_-Procyon- · January 15, 2009, 08:18:12

...everything is ready for the release...

...but our admin says he is not, and "worst timing ever, too busy to do anything". So what we can do is wait, wait, wait, wait.

He said that "it might be impossible to update your page today, and even tomorrow is not clear".

You just can guess my feelings now! I am not very happy here to say, that this will take some more time.

Maris · January 15, 2009, 09:57:31

Mikko, have you told your admin, that the mental state of approximately 200 000 PP2 addicts across the world depends entirely on him? :-D

Mikko_-Procyon- · January 15, 2009, 15:30:23

Estimated release is today LATE night. Admin promised to do it, when he arrives to home.

los(nor) · January 16, 2009, 02:04:53

Thanks for this great new release to Mikko and Janne. I think everybody in Norway is very satisfied with it. :-)
Keep up your great work,and i hope others dont have forgotten the possibility to donate :-D

Thank You Mikko and the team for the new version! Really nice! The new rod is fantastic! And 2 of the new lakes might become personal favorites :)

Nightfall · January 19, 2009, 17:35:14

Congratulations ! just downloaded and i am about to try it.I';m sure however that it will be awesome !

Zuks · January 26, 2009, 18:20:11

Hi, Mikko! Could You be so kind and answer to one question which, I guess, is interesting not only for me. How big (or average) fish is possible to catch by old one rod and how big (or average) fish is possible to catch by new one rod? I understand that even small pike can snap the line, but how about other fish?

Maris · July 11, 2009, 08:48:50

Hi!
Nice to hear some news about v.0.75 :) I have one question though. What does "possibility to drill to the bottom of the lake" mean, and what will the consequences be? ""

Mikko_-Procyon- · July 13, 2009, 10:48:38

When you hit the bottom with your drill, it will become blunt one. The creating of a new hole will take more time. E.g. after 5 bottom hits it takes 30 seconds to drill a new one.

Maris · July 13, 2009, 21:03:20

Thanks, that's just what i thought. That, once again, makes the game become more realistic. Will there eventually be some kind of depth map with numbers (meters)?

Kre · September 09, 2009, 12:14:08

Hi Mikko!

Can you guess the aproximate release date of v.0.75 jet? :-) I heard that it's coming in september, but as september goes on, many grow impatient of waiting! :wink:

Mikko_-Procyon- · September 09, 2009, 12:31:48

We have only one bug to hunt for now.. There are few reports about record-reseting during installation of the latest version. We do not know when/how/why this occurs. We are trying to resolve it as soon as possible and then the version is ready to be released.

Kre · September 09, 2009, 13:35:46

That's great news! If you can't find the bugs, maybe you can just advice to backup the static folder before the installation of the new version! :evil:
