20 basic tutorial videos have been included in 1.12.
These videos will be re-recorded at a future date, but the current ones should help out any noobs to the game! 
Advance video tutorials, all audio tutorials, and the manual have not been completed in time. I underestimated the time it takes to write a user manual. It has to be the boring-est thing I've ever done on the game! 
Anyway, I have a little more stuff to clean up in the tutorial GUI, then I'll start knocking off bugs until the weekend.

Reading those damned things are already boring enough, I don't envy you at all having to WRITE one of them

You could always bring it into your new job on a flash drive and play at work!

Shuffled around the intro song, replaced game over music.
Starting my final play through, unless any major breaking bugs are apparent then 1.12 is finished.

Think I'll play a video game or something while my computer is chugging along.

Video player doesn't like windows directory spaces...
20 lines of code changed, another 2 hours of compiling...
If you hop on IRC, you might be able to snag a patch before it's released to the public... (Key word: "Might" not sure how fast I can upload it...)

Very top, third button from the left is the "Chat" button. That'll work on IRC unless you have a port blocking firewall 
It should be out in 14 hours... Assuming pre-release tester's computers don't catch on fire.

Ive also linked the forum IRC in my signature as well. It just works in your browser, so there is no program required.
There have been some pretty good discussion on there with other forum users and its a lot easier to talk through small issues there, so id recommend it

Im not sure if Eric wants the link posted on the forums here, but he handed it out on IRC, so i assume its still all-right to share it there.
By the time you get back, Eric may be back and have already uploaded the new version to the normal areas.
When he left for sleep im pretty sure he said he wasnt far of a release through the normal channels.

A couple of computers caught on fire, one house exploded, and the video tutorials are not working...
So we have to post-pone the 1.12 release until I can figure out why the video tutorials are not working on some people's computers...

No no, that was a joke! The videos were not working due to environmental variables.
I have really bad upload speeds otherwise the game would of been out that Saturday instead of delayed a day (The time it takes to upload all the files...)
