[DaftPunk]

Yeah i’m interested,do it!!

[Aerothorn]

Thanks for all your work!

[Fumarole]

Perhaps putting these into a spreadsheet would be easier on you?

[LTK]

I found previous year’s list very useful, it’d be great if you could do another one. I got one for the list already, the long-awaited Rain World, slated for ‘2017’.

[BadManiac]

Definitely keep going with these Dreamlord. It’s hugely appreciated.

[alms]

Thanks for your work! feel free to let me, or any other mod, whenever you would like 2017 to take the place of 2016.

If I may advance a suggestion, the thread could perhaps be made a little more cooperative by including a link to the relevant RPS tag: that would allow any reader to quickly spot whether a game status has updated but not yet reflected in the sticky, and post a heads up.

Also, if you find yourself running out of room, copying your posts, as suggested by Grizzly, could help and make link shortening redundant, perhaps save you some time?

[TheDreamlord]

Thanks everyone, glad people find it helpful. I’ll move all the unreleased games from the 2016 list to this one soon and then I’ll update it when RPS make their post (or soon after, it takes a while).

Thank you Alms, the tag link is a good suggestion, I’ll implement it. I am sure five posts is enough, we’ll see!

[TheDreamlord]

Happy new year everyone. Looks like the RPS 2017 list is up already, so I am aiming to have it all up on this thread in the next couple of days. As usual, I will do my best to update it and keep track of all the interesting releases of the year. Your help and contributions are always welcome and appreciated!

[TheDreamlord]

Done. This is a fairly small list compared to the previous two years, but I will try to add all new worthwhile releases as they appear.

[Tritagonist]

Nice, thanks for doing this!

There wasn’t anything on my radar, so to speak, but seeing Syberia 3 and Aquanox Deep Descent proves there is plenty to look forward to already.

[rafaelquerido1]

WOW! This post post is awesome!

Thanks for sharing all this stuff. Cant wait Ultimate for Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Outlast 2.

[LTK]

Rakuen is coming out Q1 2017. It’s a puzzle adventure game made by Laura Shigihara, who made the Plants vs. Zombies soundtrack and contributed to the soundtracks for Super Meat Boy and To The Moon.

[Fumarole]

Battle Brothers is currently in Early Access, due to be released this year. The linked webpage doesn’t give a more specific time, but the developer updates on Steam mention it will be released in the Spring.

[TheDreamlord]

Thank you, both added to the list. I decided to do without the “Currently in Early Access” list and instead tag games in EA with the EARLY ACCESS tag in their respective location in the list. There was little, if anything, that was in EA last two years that actually got released the given year and it was hard to maintain.

[JakeStrand]

Seems like 2017 will be another good year for games. Thanks for your work!

[EPICTHEFAIL]

Star Citizen (Perpetual Money Printing Machine, Space)

chuckles

Also, Scalebound has been cancelled, might as well cross that off the list.

[TheDreamlord]

Was wondering when you’ll notice that!

[Aerothorn]

Here’s some additions, via me doing a “where are my Kickstarters at/what is their current estimated release date” check today.

Q4 2017:
System Shock (original release date - won’t be surprised if it slips, but no evidence of that so far)

TBD 2017:

Ira - Act 1: Pilgrimage
Meriwether: An American Epic (in late beta at this point, so 2017 release seems certain)
A Place for the Unwilling
Potions: A Curious Tale
The St. Christopher’s School Lockdown (latest KS update says they intend for a 2017 release)
Starr Mazer (2017, via dev post in KS comments)
Underworld: Ascendant (missed 2016 target date, but development looks on track - I’m guessing late 2017 release)

[Aerothorn]

Also via a just-released KS update for Overload (the new 6DOF shooter from the Descent devs):

“We’re working hard on Overload and the game is looking great, but as sometimes happens, it’s taking longer than expected. Our current best guess is that the single-player game will be ready in Fall 2017, with the multiplayer version to follow 4-6 months afterwards.”
