Agreed. This is easily my most anticipated game of the year.

Looks like fun...

It's got to be pretty far up there for me as well.

Any word how he was able to get on Steam without going through the Greenlight rigamarole?

Good question. I bet the many devs/publishers stuck in Greenlight hell would like to know, too.

I thought Greenlight was for people that wanted on Steam as Alpha's or in other stages of development, it seems like his barrier to entry with a completed, highly polished product would be significantly lower.

According to the last update Banished will probably miss it's "end of 2013" date by a bit.

A bit disappointing (was hoping to get some serious time in with this over some vacation time), but not unexpected.

While disappointing, in the midst of PRE/alpha/beta release craze, I'm quite looking forward to something that is more or less finished. I'd rather he got it right. Plus there will be plenty to play over the vacation time

My thoughts exactly. Obviously I want the game to be free of bugs (or at least a minimum of them), so if the dev needs more time to fix bugs, that's fine. I was just hoping to really dive into the game over my long holiday break from work, since, as I've stated before, this is (was) my most anticipated game of 2013.

There's an AMA going on with Luke Hodorowicz the developer of Banished.

The biggest bits of news are that he's hoping for a January 2014 release date and the game will cost around 20 bones.

Looks like you're building a town in Skyrim.

Can't wait. Actually, that's a lie, I have plenty to be getting on with without adding yet another game, but I am really looking forward to it.

Winter is coming!

OH! I was kinda hoping for an 'It's out!' message, but this will have to suffice. At least this will give me a chance to get through my January pile games.

EDIT: No way to preorder it yet, either..

Oh, cool! I wish it was 'now', but I do have a backlog.

Quiet you, and get back to that Gnomoria game.

Great to finally have a release date.

Counting down the days. If this shapes up the way it seems like it will based on his blogs, then I think I'll be extremely happy with the game. The basic idea is pretty much what I've been looking for from the Anno series, but never quite found.

Agreed. I really hope it turns out the way it has been portrayed. He seems pretty happy with it. THe Dev blogs have been honest and informative I thought, and I enjoyed following it through. Also quite please that this didn't end up on Kickstarter or the likes. Just over a month 'til we find out

Edit: Also, just found this (but may be an oldie). One-hour video of Banished gameplay:

Can't wait, simply must have this now.

Hope that it will be good.

Very excited about this myself. It seems Shining Rock has sent out some preview copies. This is a nice series of quick sessions that's giving a good feel for the game.
