Is there a dev diary this week? Anyone knows the time for that?

[AlexNightingale]

By the way during the PDXCON stream, quill asked the dev about hoi4 release date and the dev replied the ideal release date is Q2, but it could be delay if the development does not make it in time. (Does this means the dev was hinting that development progress is not meeting expectation right now?)


I'm kind of worry as the game is still in alpha stage, hope paradox is not pulling too much resources working on other titles. If it gets delay again we may have to see it on 2016.

Podcat said, that he will write something after PXcon, so maybe this week.

From what he said, I expect game to slip into Q3, but no later than August.

 

[adam_grif]

I was originally planning to be playing this game with my friends in Q1, an additional delay to Q3 may result in my death from anticipation.

 

[Demonsul]

On the stream they were still pretty solid on Q2 so I don't think we'll be seeing it slip into Q3 just yet.

 

[ariansandstrom]

It will however be late Q2.

 

[Caesar15]

Q3 is just taking too many steps back IMO, I think they'll hold for Q2 though.

 

[Victor Cortez]

I assumed the streaming was the devdiary.

Don't give them any ideas...

 

[Kikaider]

I assumed the streaming was the devdiary.

Podcat said the next one would be on supply and/or how you raise divisions on the map; and that they would try to write something up after PDXCON.

And while I expect them to still hit a late Q2 target (June 22 perhaps, to coincide with Barbarossa's anniversary), I think Paradox has learned not to rush unfinished games out the door, so if they need to delay it, they will

Well HOI4 is their Biggest project by far so they need alot of time to make it one of the greatest game ever.

For DD probably about training as it was the new stuff shown in the stream.

 

[SGTHunteR]

HoI 4 Early Access!!!!!!

Just kidding. Take the time you need to make the greatest game ever!!!!!!
Wooooooooo Paradox!!!!!!!

If they're going to take the extra time, they may as well include all the things they're getting strong feedback for on the forums:
Chain of Command
Brigade/Corps/Army/Army Group HQs
Detailed/Historical OOBs
Corps Level Assets
Supply Vehicles and Misc Equipment
Naval/Air HQs

I'm sorry, but the quality of commentary on these has not been "strong". It has been peevish and centred around keeping things which were actually far from popular (the ridiculously over-complex OOB that had you shepherding HQ units most of the time) just for the sake of keeping them. Just like the silliness over transport aircraft and counters, it seemed unbalanced.

Transports still made some sense and they were not useless. But HQ units? No, thank you.

Yeah, having some sort of OOB/CoC is widely wanted, but the rest of it is far from strongly requested. I'd say that even the push to split infrastructure into roads and rails was much stronger than any support for any sort of HQs or supply vehicles.

The first and third for me for sure. I want to know how the heck the game will be organized and how leaders will be allocated.

We need still a DD upon the strategic part of naval warfare - we only saw the tactical part, when ships are fighting each other.

DD on training on friday
