I REALLY hope it releases tomorrow because I KNOW it won't release on a Friday.

I doupt tomorrow (hopefully im wrong) most likely it's going to be released on Tuesday.

Yes but it's a different story when you have a passion for modding and your own personal projects vs paying someone to do it for you. Besides this is all pure speculation. I'd bet my money that the CK is and has been for a while deemed ready for release. The holdbacks now are likely integration with steam and associated maintenance, again - speculation.

On another note, I've actually wondered about the beta testers last week and before - if you personally were beta testing and experienced say 10 issues ( everything from misspelled words to desired features) would you post them knowing full well that it would delay the kit for the rest of us? To clarify what I mean is that if the beta kit was functional and could do 95% of what the typical modder would require of it to make a mod, would you try to get them to include this and that if it meant delaying it for another week?

Still worth a try. For all we know he will read it tomorrow morning when he comes into work, read to the devs, and the CK is out by lunch. Of course, that's a super crazy best case scenario, but it's got a higher chance of happening then if I don't write him anything...

So how much more powerful is the new CK in comparison the the old Oblivion CS?

Will this simply make the process of making mods much easier or will it actually provide tools that modders do not have access to? Other than the standard stuff like scripts.

I'm pretty sure if it did show up at lunch time it would have been a decision someone higher up already made. There's not a lot of call for spur of the moment decision making at a major company.

So nobody read the quote in the OP I'm guessing, and that's why I'm getting all this?

Gstaff said tomorrow was a possibility and if it pushed over it would go to next week. That's very much so a statement of 'it depends on how fast we work' not a 'it depends on what big brother says'. I'm simply trying to make them less likely to go "Ehhhh, lets wait till next week." This isnt a "I'm blatantly trying to make them release it out of the blue." kind of thing...

You're about to make me cry. Don't make a pony cry =(

I noticed no donate button.

I was looking forward to be able to support the bigger mods with steamwallet support.

more likely it's a statement of "it depends on when Steam pushes it to their content servers"

SO I guess we won't get the CK not even today?

Personally, I wouldn't count on it.

Edit: Just had a peek in tools and it's not there yet.

We'll let you know when it comes out.

SO I guess we won't get the CK not even today?

I take it that gamesas Fridays are Nerf Gun Tournament Fridays?

It's just a guess, but I think they might have weekends off. So they don't want to release something and then not be there for the two days after if support is needed.

I'd report them, but realize that they're not going to be fixed. Look at the 1.4 patch, it had a public beta and some issues that were reported went through anyway.
