The plan from here is straightforward. We will be releasing a closed test imminently, during which approximately 500-1000 people will assist in ensuring our architecture is correctly functioning. This closed test will be focused purely on architecture, not the game design. Once we have confirmed fixes for issues arising from the closed test, we will then reschedule an internal date for our public release.

No standalone today...

When is it releasing?
We don’t know. We’re going to take our time. I feel fantastic about the situation, more than ever I feel like we’re doing something really interesting with this development. Now is not the time to rush things, but we do need to ensure our pace is kept up. Our development blog and getting players in and testing as soon as possible will be key in ensuring we succeed in making this a great game.

A few interesting things were talked about in the interview.

-defecating (will need to decide where to prevent disease issues)
-sickness outbreaks
-disinfectant - will need to wash clothes, boil water
-water supplies could be contaminated.

Wow, they're really going all out with the realism for the stand alone.

Might get really boring.

Might get really boring.

When this comes out, I may get this just to form a Monkey Squad (trademark pending).
