The is there going to be a dev diary senate session

[IsaacCAT]

It's Monday but this thread isn't floating? What sorcery is this?

It seems the expectation for DD is less because everything exciting is already said.

After next week patch notes, are we going to live without Monday’s DD for long time?!

What are we going to do on Mondays?

I think we'll see patch notes today. Next week it's the launch, possibly a beta branch.

The release is thuesday, so I'm expecting the patch notes next monday and a last dev diary today. My money would be on the great wonders designer for today, since this probably changed a lot since we last saw it and it's part of the paid DLC.

I do not think so, @Arheo said that it was warm code, that may mean they are still tweaking things.

Next week would be the same as today except for a few extra lines of beta features.

However warm it is you'd still try to freeze a version 1 week prior to release. All extra changes may be released as Beta including a few hotfixes.

At least that's the release strategy they have used in Stellaris.

Yes you may be right on this one.

But I do not recall having the patch notes this early, I think they will use today's DD to show off wonders, come on, you have to give that they haven't said much after first time and is one of the main selling points for all the plebes in Steam.

Usually the second last DD is one with a collection of other smaller odds and ends gotting treatment. Though the last two DDs before the release announcement one already went a bit into that direction, I'm still leaning towards this today. 2.0 is massive and even if the big changes are concentrated on a few parts of the game, they probably "radiate" enough to the rest of the game to warrant smaller tweaks on many other aspects.

That wouldn't be exclusive to a wonders dev diary, since they would probably mark the differences to their introduction. If there is a dev diary today they will very likely talk about all small changes not yet mentioned, even if the main focus is wonders.

But I also could be completely wrong.

And I so want it to release this Saturday. Sunday is a lock-down day for practicing social distancing.

Depends on the country. In Germany we are in (soft) lockdown since november. I can wait another week.

There are so many things you can play with the actual version:

What do I have to do before 1.5.3 goes away?

With only 12 days left, and the menace of thousand of new players coming to I:R, what is unique to 1.5.3? Is there something that I have to experience now before it is too late?

They may still decide that the game is not ready (levies not using manpower anyone?!) and delay the launch one month more.

Read the date of Sunday. You'll understand why it's a day for lockdown.

We do not celebrate that thing in all the World

We choose our release dates carefully, and it's not something we can easily just change. Particularly not to release it ahead of time.

Just be patient, heng tai. Wait for a few days won't kill you as like I wait for saving up for PS4 for the last 4 years and now I will wait for PS5 for the next three years.

Now where's the DD?

PS: I never brought the PS4.

So it begins...the great battle of our week.

It was supposed to be humour.
