Doom,

Games never arrive at a constant speed.
I do have high hopes JtRH arrives before Duke Nukem Forever though.

But if it is not going to do anything before March, then I might be able to slip in another hold before that happens (or five, if I remember properly on my lessons of "project planning for dummies". O:-)

Doom, I remember there was once with -12.5%. Are you cheating?

I remember it too. Hmm... Was it in this thread? I seem to have missed it. I may update the picture if I find it.

Here's the updated version of the progress graph from 50% to 87%

edit: Graph moved to page 10 of this thread.

That graph (excluding the experimental error of -12,5%) looks interestingly a bit like a parabola.

Does this mean that the progress bar will peak somewhere around 85-90%, and then fall again?

Actually I was thinking it might finish up around 2006, assuming it continues to rise.

Great idea! For posterity's sake, the bar started right at 50%. IIRC, that was a week before this thread was started.

If it continues its upward turn, it'll end in the year 200!

Clearly the curve is of the type f(t) = 1-(1/t), where t is time elapsed. Therefore, as t tends to infinity, f(t) converges upon 1 (or 100%), but never reaching it.

Sorry, false alarm. It seems we have some tweaker on the loose. From now on, although it's been amusing, there will be no more tweaking. (And, to set the record straight...that -12.5% was tweaked too. It should probably be removed from the progress chart.)

I've just realised something - it can never reach 100%.

If it did, then there would be nothing more to do to it, and it would stay the same forever, devolving into mediocrity.

So I think it's good that there is still a bit left to go.

Wait, didn't anyone tell you? The bar goes to %101, to allow for constant improvements to the game.

Graph update! Scroll page 8 up and you'll find it.

Removed the -12,5. It just didn't look good. Keep up the good work!

That's an interesting graph.
Optimistically, I'm seeing 100% at the end of January, but I'm not holding out much hope.

An analysis:

Assuming TDT had kept the updates workin fast as always and the rate from 50% to the big slow-down had been constant, the bar would have hit 100% at... October 10th.

With the Slow-Down, it would have been finished 8 vertical lines past next January 16th. That's a lot of time.

We can only hope that this upward-turning trend is due to an actual, long-term increase in speed and not because of A: random fluctuations in the beta-testing and code production or B: some kind of sick and twisted joke.

Further analysis: If the increase in rate stays constant (IE increases accelerate) then we'll have JtRH by the 5th of December.

If the update rate stays constant, we've got JtRG expected at somewhere about between the 19th of December for the optimists and 2 vertical lines past the edge of the graph for the pessimistic optimists.

Watch Caravel release it somewhere not mentioned and joker's predictions be shattered like shattery stuff struck by a large, hard and fast-moving object akin to a mack-truck full of engines.

They just love the destruction of optimism don't they?

In all seriousness I know the dev team is trying like crazy to get JtRH out and still lead a semblance of a normal life(most of them, anyway). I'm extremely thankful for that and for the fact that the gag order has been lifted. I'm also glad for regular progress and semi-regular EXTRA progress.

so w00t for the .4% we got!
