"We would like to announce that the release date of Dungeon Lords has been postponed to mid-May 2005. We apologize for the delay and would inform you of a precise release date shortly."

A delay? why? Anyway it's just another month wait.

I hope it's so they can make sure they're coming in with a killer game... :D

They didn't say but judging from the demo released only last month - they have some tweaking still to do!

I think this is good news. Let's hope the extra time is well used...

Hope it's to make it work on Intel integrated display adapters! [img]smile.gif[/img]

For Immediate Release

How can it go "Gold" when it hasn't been released?? Preorders??

IIRC, 'going gold' is when the developer's nominated release candidate is accepted by the publisher. I.e., all parties involved agree that this is the final release version. Different from 'going gold' in the good ol' music industry ;)

Ardsbardkins! I'm heading out to Virginia tonight... perhaps I can pick up a copy out there tomorrow (or before I get back on Friday).

In any case, I may have something to do at my hotel at night... :D
