Well I have said it before. Pushing the date back further and further just to add those finishing touches doesn't always mean the game will improve, I'll use my drawing analogy once again, have you ever drawn a picture you thought looked fantastic and you kept adding more details to it after the picture was finished? After adding all of those extra things you realize that your picture looks horrible and over done? Polishing something can only go so far until you ruin what was an already good finished product. Yes I'm patient for the game but I'd love to know where it's at in terms of being finished.

However, if you know what you are doing, you can control the quality of the work to keep the polishing to affect the work negatively.

Regarding the recent Jack the Ripper discussion, I wanted to mention that Dan had said in a past interview that there may be historical figures appearing in the game in some way. The Hanbury Street screenshots would seem to suggest that Saucy Jack is one of them.

Out of interest here are a few real-life pictures of Hanbury Street from the late 19th century and early 20th century:

It is impossible to make any game 100% perfect, and while I did not mind the first two delays, I feel as if my head will explode if they delay it again. Mostly because I am unemployed, and will be buying this from saved up birthday and Christmas money, and I am so freaking bored because I only have so little games I own that I've been playing to pass the time.

Last night I had my fourth dream about this game and when I woke up, I felt so sad.

Hoping that the game is about set on release, with those screenshots out and the change on the main webpage with the poem. *crosses fingers*

Awesome find, man! Seems they've done their homework (not that i doubted they would) and done research

Honestly, how much fucking effort does it take to spell "Q2" correctly?
My god...

I like this one!

On one of the interviews it definitely wasn't a typo, they typed Q3(july-september) so it was pretty obvious they meant Q3. Although I'm not sure if that means anything since the release date hasn't been officially changed, as far as I know.

How the hell did they know? FG always tell us if it's delayed again, unless FG and TCR decided to shut up about this.
