Age of Decadence Release Date Likely not Until 2009

Iron Tower Studios has been wary of making a lot of comments on the likely release date of Age of Decadence, but posts on their forum point to a 2008 release being very unlikely.
I'm not promising anything here. We'll take as much time as we need, but I can't estimate it due to the part-time nature of the project. Can AoD be released in 2008? Yes. IF everything goes smoothly. If everyone is able to spend at least 4-5 hours a day for the next 4 months. If these are quality, uninterrupted hours (vs "I'm tired and can't think straight" hours"). If everything works as intended and doesn't require adjustments. If we don't have spend time changing things. Females look much better now, thanks to you guys, but that was 10 days of work.

Again, keep in mind that it's a part-time project. I'm not making excuses here, just explaining that our development year is at best 4-5 months of a full-time year.

I'm not making any "release date" comments or promises. Current status: "in development". That's all I can tell you. We'll do our best to entertain you on our forums while you're waiting.
So while not confirming any possible release date, this seems to indicate 2008 is out of the question.

Let's all hope Q1 2009 isn't.
