Hmm, perhaps we should move this to the debate club. From now on, it's 7DAS back on topic again.

The reason for wich we are changing the point in question to dinosaurs, Bill hicks, reasons to kill Gobbler, etc. it's because it's been more than three months since Trilby's notes was released. What we've got since then? A suspiscious screenshot, a abbreviation and very vague information.
I was expecting the next game to be released in halloween, as a marketing hit. But no, it's not there. When is he going to release it? In Xmas, when no one is intersted in violent stuff? Or maybe in the Revellion, when everyone is answering their "Happy New Year" emails?
David, I know you like surprises, but listen to my situation. I am the one who is updating the "Next game" topic in the brazilan Orkut community of Trilby's notes. Right now, I have nothing to tell them, and the community is dying. Last month there were 9 guys associated to the TN community, now there are only 8. In the 5DAS community, there were 16 guys in the last month, now there are only 15. Maybe he was the same guy, I don't know and I don't care, but I consider this a major problem.
Yahtzee, could you at least tell us the name of the next game, please?

Wha... huh? Where'd that come from? Did I sleep over and miss a meeting?

Well, let me put it this way: Did Yahtzee explicitly say he was working on the game at the moment? No. All he said was that he had the title of the game, and the suspicious screenshot may not even have been cut out from it, if you recall, it was some of the forumers who decided so. I know not what the very vague info you mentioned could be. It's not as if Yahtzee is obliged to make the game for us in the very near future, and if (heaven forfend) he decides to cancel the whole thing because he gets sick of it, you'll have to understand even that. I'm pretty sure all of us have had to put up with worse disappointments in our lives.

Yeah right, as if you psychos would need a reason for that.

Personally I learned on the spot what happen when you wait too much (5 years I waited for AGDI to release Quest for Glory 2 VGA, 4 years I waited for Gaspop to release whatever they're working on, and I don't list everything), and I just stay constantly busy to have something else to do other than being impatient.
But if I never learned, and if I was waiting non stop for The Next Game, considering GFW was released on summer 2005, 1213 on winter 2006 and TN on summer 2006, I'd realistically wouldn't expect anything until the next winter or the end of January just to not create any false hopes and useless deception. As for teaser, it will probably be like 1213 or TN, nothing until a few days before the release.

1- Yahtzee also has a job and a girlfriend. So, i doubt he would slow down his job or his relationship with his girl just to make the game faster. (I wouldn't)
2- He draws on MSpaint..... if that's not slow i don't know what it is. I'm not criticizing his drawings, they're great.
3- I tried AGS programming. It's a great program, but some things are pretty complicated. Even RPG maker being the simplest of all game making programs i've seen so far it takes a good time to make decent new systems on it (new battle system, new menu,etc)
4- He doesn't get money for them.
5- And in my opinion the main reason: The story. Yahtzee is probably tryng to make the plot even better and with more surprises than TN. That's not impossible for him, but it is not easy. And on top of that he probably will reveal to us most mysteries of the plot, maybe not all because he likes to let us asking questions. Programming,drawing and finding good sound effects and music is easy. Creating the story.......well..........
