Notice the dock for the flying ships to the right. Speaking of flying ships, technically, what we have is not a flying ship but a flying fortress.
Schedule
So, we released 16 locations out of 22 so far. Our plan is to work on Ganezzar, Al-Akia, and the Hangar in June (visuals & writing) and July (scripting), start the beta test at the end of July, test for 4 weeks and release. It seems realistic. Testing Maadoran took 8 weeks, but we had 7 locations there and substantial system and combat changes.
The remaining 3 locations (aka the Endgame content) will be released at the end of September. At that point the content of the game will be done and all that will be left is to tweak and polish, which shouldn't take longer than a month. Either way by that time the game will be fully playable from start to finish and available to the Early Access crowd whose support has been invaluable.
So, that means the new estimated release date for Age of Decadence is October. Check out the full update for more information about the evolution of the flying fortress concept, and for a dialog sample with Athanasius, one of Ganezzar's ambitious inhabitants.
