That well may be the average, but Notty is a helpful dev and has written it slowly, for those who can't read that fast.

There won't be a hard date. No more deadlines.
My estimate (which is worth nothing, mind ya) is early October as the scale of the remaster grows. If Notty can make it earlier, great, if not, great as well, because that's what it will be regardless.
It really depends on the preferences. I would recommend it immediately to anyone who cares the most about the quality of the story, writing, characters, humour, choice based gameplay...etc. This is a gem not to be missed.
But to those for whom render quality or lewd content are priority, I would advise to wait. First impression matters and with the remaster it is sure to be better.
As for the charm of the old renders? I don't think that is much of a factor for a new player, if there are only two or three weeks (for example) left until the remaster. I've been here for over eight months, you for two months (if I'm not mistaken). We've had time to grow attached to it so to speak.

Just everybody make sure to keep a copy of the current version, and mark it "Collectors' Edition". Newbs won't easily get to see these awesome vintage original Heavy Five renders!

I guess that is what I was hinting at when I asked if there was a "hard date" for the new ver.... I suspected it was in the "you will get it when I am good and ready" column, which is why I chose to respectfully disagree, and would encourage anyone to play it now, and play it later.
That way we can legitimately get in on the "I was a fan before the re-master" Merch.

Only problem: it doesn't come with an official physical sleeve. But, I think I got that covered.
Just cut a CD sleeve from a Jaffa Cakes package, insert a CD-ROM with the Heavy Five Original zip file, close the edges with tape, and write nothing but the version number on it with a black waterproof marker. Should look legit.
Notty totes won't be reading this, and won't consider the idea as a "highest tier" reward, but the newbs won't know that.

Actually played chapter 1 and 2 the day they were released here, just took me till chapter 3 to really fall for the game. The potential was there already before though so it was on my to watch list.There won't be a hard date. No more deadlines.

Is it a civilian base? The exploration is military, it is all military assets, it is supplied by military and it was rejected as colony. I always saw it as a military research base manned with civilian specialists. Why would a Military Ensign be assigned to a civilian base to run comms?
EDIT Marcus was annoyed that military cut off certain research paths and threatened Chris with a negative report if she didn't complete her mission ASAP.
Damn it cool kids get all the attention AGAIN *sulks in corner*

Hey guys,
Will do my best to run through and answer posts as best as I can tomorrow. As you can imagine hugely busy at the mo
But look....

As the well as the obvious better composition and dustcloud from kicking the engines on (not bad, eh? ), the landing pad has had a makeover with the rescaling done much better (ever wondered why the rails were so high? It was because the asset was too small and I was crap at faffing with them...). Also redid the surface so it won't look so bad in closeup and dirtied it up for wear and tear. Oh, and better lighting for shine and shadows and Vanny loses her missiles for common sense purposes on re-entry (again, I didn't know how to knock stuff off assets before)
Remastering the shit out of it. Well, as best as I can on an etch-a-sketch

Gosh, this is like the difference between a student movie (albeit a very good one) and a Hollywood production! The girls were one thing, but this landing shot is phenottymenal!!Hey guys,

Is it Mike?
I hope she is not TOO petty, I would hate to get thrown out an airlock in my sleep or something...
So catching Mike and Chris together won't balance out us and Annie?
Are saying she is the pits? How dare you?!?!?! ;p
My reading is ssssslllllllloooooooowwwwwww.....Almost all right except for the timings... I recently played through just one route (to test an android version) and it took me close to four hours. Of course, depending on your reading times and how much you investigate, your timings might be different. But unless you skip through loads of text or mash the space bar (really not recommended) it's way more time than an hour (Notty mentioned around three hours for the first three chapters) just to get through once without rolling back and trying a different route.
PS I would recommend waiting for the remaster though, it's not far off and based on some of the shiny we've already been shown, it'll be well worth the wait!
I believe that was the plan, but again, nothing is set in stone, but she won't make you guys wait too long.
Average being the key word, being dyslexic, that would take me at least 6 times that.
I keep every version...
That is a really smooth crash landing. XDHey guys,

Not to be that guy but is the door supposed to be wide open? Or is that some sort of hellish F-15 air brake? Is that part of the problem they were having in Chap 1?

It is indeed the airbrakes being kicked on at the last minute
and yep, the fact Vanny had started to open one for her own bizarre reasons prior to re-entry was one of the problems they had.
