Announcement

At the time I'm writing this, it's been way over a year since any meaningful content was posted to this forum. Also, the last and final version of I Hate Mountains was released almost three years ago. Which is why I believe it is time to definitely pull the plug on this forum which is going to remain in a readonly format from now on.

A warm 'thank you' to everyone that contributed to this project in a way or another! If you really need to contact the team, feel free to shoot us an email, our contact information is right here : http://www.ihatemountains.com/contact-us/

Re: Is there any official release date set?

Well, we didn't knew about it last tonight.
I'm pretty sure we'll know about it tonight though!
It should be Friday in fact, but we keep pushing the limits forward and I don't know if we're gonna make it. So I just can't confirm.

Re: Is there any official release date set?

I think it's very professional that you're team hasn't committed to a release date you're not sure you can promise. It would be impossible to count the times game Fans see exactly thedisappointing opposite...

As many are beginning to regard what they've seen of I Hate Mountains as the real spiritual successor to L4D, I think most of us are happy to wait and are fine with 'when it's ready'.

Heh. The Black Mesa team just get yelled at all the time for not setting a release date. I do agree with you though.

...like with the Valve Time? lol



Actually, there were a couple of semi-bold statements(represented by the "aaalmost done" in the trailer, at which I laughed hard BTW smile):

May 27, 2009: Flat period...

Nicolas wrote:

We don't have any release date for the moment(...)But this will definitely be somewhere this summer (most likely july).


Nov 2, 2009: Advertising and notifying

Nicolas wrote:

our maps are finished


Dec 24, 2009: Clarification, campaign overview, screenshots and merry Christmas!

Nicolas wrote:

Basically, it's finished.


Mar 4, 2010: The light at the end of the tunnel

Marc wrote:

The work is nearly over (I know we're always saying that)(...)Unfortunately, we still can't give any release date yet

May 18, 2010: It's gonna be legen— wait for it —dary!

Marc wrote:

yes the campaign is finished.

What he said. I'm sure the campaign will bring some life back to the original Left 4 Dead, so it's worth waiting for it. "Crash Course"? Sorry, but from what I've seen so far, I Hate Mountains is going to be much bigger and way better than the official DLC; sorry, Valve.
Actually it's good you guys make us wait, working on the quality of the campaign, so that when it's released, it's done right. Plus, on the way here you probably had hundreds of reasons to give up on it, but you didn't. Also, being a fan of your previous creation, Portal: Prelude, there's no way I could lose interest, I'm not going anywhere.

Re: Is there any official release date set?

That quote collection is awesome, but also very true. The campaign has always been finished since late November. We wasted 6 months fixing bugs, working around engine issues, tweaking gameplay and adapting it for versus.
