And it looks like we've got a new (or rather, refurbished) bar for TSS!

Exciting!

No bar game yet, or new click messages though.

Wow, it's uncanny how well the last Star Wars movie title in the queue lines up with DROD 5.0 being the "last adventure of Beethro" so to say.

In any case, I guess now it's time to take bets on how many posts or clicks will take place during DROD 5.0 development as opposed to the other whole-numbered DROD installments.

Actually, I think you're thinking of something else. The last Star Wars title is "Revenge of the Sith". None of them have "Wrath" or "Last" in the title. You may be thinking of Star Trek II.

But I am looking forward to getting my brain twisted once more trying to figure out one more riddle with no hints and no suggestion of what they're looking for. Good times.

Nope. It's "The Return of the Jedi".
"Revenge of the Sith" is number 3 - it just happened to be released last.

Hmm...would it be accurate to say that TSS is a sequel to a prequel to a sequel to an upgrade to a remake?

Only if we're going to remake TSS, upgrade TSS, then make another game in the same plot line. I only see a reasonable chance of the latter two.

"The Final Click"

Does this mean that there is no possibility of DROD games after TSS? While I understand the desires of the developement team to have lives apart from DROD, I'm not sure I'm ready for there to be an end of DROD.

As far as I heard in public, TSS is only supposed to be the end of the Beethro saga. Nothing stops further development.

It seems that the Bar has been cleaned up! Now it’s truly the TSS bar.

Doesn’t seem to be clickable yet, though.

"Made last" = "last". When it doesn't, specify.

Wait, so TSS happens after GatEB and before KDD, not after TCB? Because I'm pretty sure if it came after TCB it would just be a sequel to an upgrade of a remake.

TSS (DROD 5) is a sequel to GatEB (DROD 4), which is a prequel to JtRH, which is a sequel to KDD, which is an upgrade of AE, which is a remake of Webfoot DROD.

There. All clear!

15%!

Presumably, once this larval bar reaches a certain %, it will transformed into a Bar-fly. And become clickable.

It took the Bar 15 days (from 3 August 2012 to 18 August 2012) to advance by 1.5% (from 13.5% to 15%). At this rate, it will reach 100% in 850 more days, i.e. on 16 December 2014.

I hope it’s going to go faster.

Assuming it wasn’t 15.5% yesterday…

It took the Bar 35 days (from 3 August 2012 to 7 September 2012) to advance by 2% (from 13.5% to 15.5%). At this rate, it will reach 100% in approximately 1479 more days, i.e. on 25 September 2016.

(It’s definitely going slower: the last 0.5% were done in twenty days, while it used to take only five days.)

The dev team is still moving TSS forward, but I've been swamped by life and not able to move that bar forward for a few weeks. Also been involved in other distribution deals and Greenlight. Once I'm able to catch up on what's been happening for TSS, the bar will start moving forward again.

The bar always moves. If you get enough magnification, you will see it moving slowly, at a subpixel level. Upgrade your monitor if needed.

I surely didn’t! Here goes…

It took the Bar 109 days (from 3 August 2012 to 20 November 2012) to advance by 2.5% (from 13.5% to 16%). At this rate, it will reach 100% in approximately 3662 more days, i.e. on 30 November 2022.

But on average how long after it reaches 100% does the game come out?

We seem to have new bar doings. Perhaps a riddle, perhaps just silliness. I clicked it and got, instead of a conventional number, a depiction using Tim's Circular Lines system of depicting natural numbers.
