I guess you mean multithreading? Any game can profit from multiple cores, if you run an adequate OS like Vista or Win7.

Not true. Many programs force the use of one core.
IL2 appears to use two of my four cores when I graph it.

Publisher aims for a release in Spring?? Which publisher would that be then? Theres no chance of a spring release, I would say we would be very lucky if we got it by next September.

The Game Publishers issued the games in April or October i think...
Soo, April is to close..

As I said. Christmas next year...

Easy - You aim for Christmas, once you realize you can't make it you go for spring instead.
Better than delaying till following x-mas...

You know what really sux?
Check out the 1c games section and take a closer look at the announced games.
There are games announced for Q4/2011 - nowhere a word about Sow though.
Considering SoW is an inhouse development...

This really scares the crap out of me.


Edit: Maybe s.o. should edit the wiki entry about vaporware and add another title to the list.

I know mate, all that xxxxx about thousands playing before October must have been aimed at potential publishers, this game is a long long way off.

In software, it is very difficult to say when a final product can be released. However, it's very easy to look at the backlog of work remaining and estimate the number of weeks it could take to complete this work. Looking at this, you can say with absolute certainty that the product will not be released before that time has passed.

This planning information is never made public, but it would be revealing to know how many weeks are currently in the development team's backlog. 2? 6? 16? If we new that, we could say for sure that SoW will not be released or even out of validation before 4 months.

Somehow, that would be more gratifying to know than.... nothing!
