The Calendar

Has anyone looked at the Calendar. It looks as if the days Glitch was open fell under "spork". We are now in "Bruise" where it appears to be a brutal process of working out the kinks. Hopefully "Candy", as sweet as the name sounds, is a long period in which the game is open. I could be wrong. But the month names really do sound like they could be linked to the Alpha process, but then again I'm just speculating.

  • That's possible, however game days are a lot shorter than days in real life, but then again a long test is planned between Christmas and New Year

  • I don't think the calendar has anything to do with the test cycle, since it's run 12 times they exact same way already...and from talking to devs.

  • :/ i guess, the I have a habit of always asking myself. "why was this done the way it was?". I constantly find myself trying to make sense of things, like the way the calendar is laid out. It was a hypothesis, and evidently it was proven false.

  • Still could be; however, I imagine there was some obscure reasoning behind the calendar having nothing to do with testing dates.

  • Yea game days are 4 hours, I've heard. So that would put the Candy month ten days from now approximately. That wouldn't be a weekend. Interesting theory though.

  • The calendar has been mildy tweaked btw (orange box on the day, added another month - Recurse?): alpha.glitch.com/calendar/

  • The calendar will get some love soon, and holidays will be added (many of which will mean changes to game rules/bonuses, etc., specific to the holiday). It doesn't correspond at all to testing times, though that is a good & interesting guess :)

  • Pure speculation.

  • Anyone notice that at the beginning of "Candy" that Glitch was open?

  • Bringing the calendar back up. I only yesterday checked it out. We are in early Remember. Zille-o-ween is 4 "game" weeks away.

    And Doom follows that.


    Eeep!
