Baring any unexpected last minute problems, yes. Art team has taken the extra time and added a bunch of stuff. Programming team has fixed every major problem. It's just polishing everything right now.

Well, sometime in the next 20 hours. We're going by Pacific time, so we got a few hours left in the day. The programmers are compiling everything and testing it out. I can't give a more definitive answer than that

Just an update: Looks like the programming guys are caught up in some real work at the moment. Apparently they expect to also have a life and a job outside the game. After that it's implementing some last minute Yehat and Pkunk stuff. We're still on track....
I'm anticipating the game as much as you, so I'd be upset if it didn't come out soon too. I was hoping to see something in time for lunch. I'm viewing statistics via Google Analytics real time beta test. I can tell the guys on the art team keeps hitting the refresh button on the site to see if there's any updates. So we're all excited...
The 'releasing the Kraken' thing reminds me I had planned on making a picture of the Kraken. The 1980s Clash of the Titans version. I even thought about making a crossover pic with Kratos from God of War. It will be nice to actually draw something not related to Star Control. It's been a while since I've done that.
As far as story, there's not too much new, but there's a bunch of new content. The main reason is we just wanted to test that stuff out and sort out any bugs before the full game. So what will later be optional parts may be part of the download of the demo. This will make the download large. And by "large" I mean, the game will probably fit on a CD. But the size of the download goes from about 40 MB to about 600 MB. Not quite as bad as 10 Gig installs of modern games, but if you need to clean out your hard drive, now is the time to do it.
If I had to take a stab at recommended system requirements for the demo, I'd say: 1 GB of free space. 512 MB RAM. 1 GHz processor.

That's a perfect size for a torrent.

Release the Kraken on us. It appears we're going to miss that deadline. D'oh. Problems with a programmer's home internet connection. They were up until 5am working on it. I told them no need to kill themselves, destroy their job, or rip apart their family to get this out. It's just a game, and we're not Electronic Arts here
.....I then proceeded to beat them up just to teach them a lesson.
Have some wallpaper of our lovely bird to tide yeh over. Click the pic, it should have links to download a 1900x1200 size version.
