I dunno, I feel like they've got to announce something sooner rather than later.

It does feel like, to me, that tinto talks has slowed down a bit. Like they're running out of things to talk about (there hasn't been a proper, meaty, new, mechanical dev diary since the weather system one (#52) over a month ago)

While I don't want that to be the case, if this forum dries up a bit and they still don't announce anything, I feel like the hype that's been built will fizzle out to an extent. To the detriment of everyone

But please, this is purely just based on my own observation and I appreciate I could be wildly off in a number of ways.
This game has already well surpassed the dev diary count of previous games before release. Every day I've been waking up expecting an announcement.

But we still have the international organization diaries. Those are pretty big. So once those are out, were getting the announcement dev diary for a September release (please)

As per TT53:
Now we have gone through the core mechanics we have for Project Caesar. The next few weeks we will go through all the changes that have happened during this year, thanks both to your great feedback and from internal and external testing. After that it's time to go through the mechanics of the different religions, the different situations and the different international organizations we have!
So, while those "proper, meaty, new, mechanical" TTs are indeed over, we still have quite a lot of content to go through with situations, IOs and religions.

Tomorrow, there will be a special tinto talk April fools version. What will it be about?

Given some unforeseen problems, they have decided to cancel production of PC. To placate the eagerly awaiting fans, they're releasing what they got as freeware. HW requirement 150 or more qubits.

How often does one come up? I signed up a couple weeks ago, I'm curious about my chances.
in the last year (since may 2024), I got 4 mini polls (what do you play, how long, how many hours in total), resulting in 2 invites and 2 rejections. The year before, I had 2 and 2 rejections. It is not that often.

I hope they dont drag it out going through every single religion. Just the few with meaty mechanical content.

More on that in the Tinto Talks for Eastern Christianism and Protestantism (there will be one for each).

I assume Catholicism gets one, so it seems Christianity alone gets at least three. Can be double digits for all religions.

Yeah I assume we will get to see main christian branches, sunni, shiia, and probably China's and Japan's.

Human sacrifices have been occasionally mentioned, so would not be surprising to have one for Nahuatl. Could be some for other New World religions or African religions. Perhaps even one for European Paganism. I don't think there will be one for Norse, they'll leave some mystery around that. Given that there has been quite a bit of interest for Judaism, would not be too surprising if it gets its own TT.

If it has mechanics they'll show it, otherwise they won't. I doubt they will have mechanics for something its not even playable i dont think? Like judaism. I'd be surprised.

Johan did mention that all religions have different bonuses however if they do not have own mechanics so he might do a post mentioning all the smaller "major" religion that do not have mechanics to show their bonuses but to be honest I'd leave that as a surprise. No feedback needed its something that can be changed quickly after release.
 
The only thing I expect is that @Old_Sealand will be waiting tomorrow at 14:00 to post "Wow" on the imminent announcement thread
Consider the previous request/warning/'Make it Stop!' to still be current.

No idea, sorry.
Wonder if moderators would find out about an upcoming announcement from a private message, or a message on their own forum: "All right guys, I expect all of you present and sharp at x o'clock on x th of x month! Something big will happen then. You know I can't tell you what and you know you can't guess. All I can say is that you must be prepared to ban tons of wowers!"
