Re: Switch -- we haven't forgotten about it, we just don't have anything definite to share re: release dates for TALES on Switch. When we have certainty around the date, we'll share more info.

To clarify a point above -- the delays in this case are not due to anything on the Nintendo side (well, apart from making a console that's more challenging to get content on 😅). When we have news to share, we'll post it either along with a Dev Diary or in its own stand-alone communication.

Hello Raphael, what is your timeline for an updated GOG version?

Apologies I misread the Citric Acid, though it is not only in Citrus Fruit, it is also, for example the primary acid found in Rose Hips... it would almost certainly have been added to the Tomato SOup too?

but you did suggest Vitamin C wasn't in Birch Bark?
 

Honestly, I don't think it matter what IRL items contain vitamin C and which ones don't.  HL is very likely going to designate which items in the game contain Vitamin C and are, therefore, going to have to be eaten at a designated frequency to avoid getting the scurvy affliction.

Oh I completely agree, I was just pointing out clarifying some points being made, Birch Bark does have Vit C and you can find Citric Acid in things other than Citrus fruit... may as well get these things correct IRL, in the game, I don't mind, I am sure it will be fun!

Well if they are in forsaken then I'll have to sit and wait for aurora nights to go and get them .. that road feels so long lol...😁

I play on Pilgrim or Custom. I enjoy FA, but yes that is a long road, especially in a glimmer fog. It's so easy to get turned around. 

Also whoop that tomorrow is December. Not too much longer now right?  Hopefully the finishing touches are being added to the trailer.  As much fun as the Raft and Green Hell are, I really want to play the new region.  I should open the game tonight and do some prep/weight management for when it comes time to travel to ZoC.

The glimmer fog is why I can only go during aurora,but that's risky too..

I know,an early Christmas present lol..   

I'm still playing both runs but I do play house flipper,when it doesn't crash on me..  RAFT looks a pretty good game.though.

I haven't looted the caches in FA yet, so that will help me navigate somewhat in the Fog. Figured I will wait for the update first.

I haven't played House Flipper in ages, and Raft is a really nice game. A mix of story and survival mode.  But it also requires a lot of resources and lucky rng rolls to get the story progression.

The ones with the yellow signal you mean?  I haven't done them there either..  

I just bought the farm dlc ,but I haven't managed to do much of it.. plenty of new content..theyre pretty quick with bug fixes though..

I was thinking of another game ..I've seen Neebs gaming play raft,looks fun ..I love the llamas 😁

They said early december so I popped in here just to be sure it wasn't released on a friday. I have furniture to put together tomorrow and was looking for a reasonable excuse to not do it, like say, a new awesome Tales drop. Guess I'll get my tools then... 

Funny how everybody is busy discussing the poisoned wolves or the concentration of citric acid in the modern food industry, while I'm just sitting here in a corner very excited for the insulated flask🤓. It will be a game changer for me depending on how much  it extends the warm status and how many cups of drink it holds.

Well, theoretically it could still drop today as they are in Pacific timezone and it's not even 9AM there yet (usually their region launches are 10AM), but as said before it's unlikely to happen today anyway

I'm assuming they'll drop an announcement / video before releasing... would be great to have that today, been getting antsy here 😅

Sometimes they drop video before release, sometimes simultaneously to release

[Elnur]

December has already begun, where is the update?))

[Mistral]

Next week, probably

Yeah they didn't give a specific date but they likely want to put it out and still have time to deal with any gamebreaking bugs before going on holiday.

[Dan_]

Yep, seems like it. In all fairness, up until the 15th is still technically early december.

Oh I am 100% excited for the Insulated Flask. Hopefully there is more than 1 in the world *fingers crossed*  One for stews, one for tea, one for coffee.

Likely the announcement trailer will come out next week and then a week after that it launches.  I was trying to remember what they did for the previous updates

I came to check because I wanted it to be a surprise, even knowing everywhere I've ever worked hated releasing anything on a Friday. Because if there were problems, and there were always problems, it meant working over the weekend. Nobody likes working over the weekend.

[hozz1235]

Woke up to about 3 inches of fresh snow and it continued through the day...man, was I longing to jump back into TLD!

[Smellyfries]

Random thought I had about the respirator that'll come in the next update, maybe it will also protect us from the poisonous gas in the Blackrock mines, so you won't have to rush through, after dropping all of your items at the front entrance in order to not suffocate. 

[Kranium]

Around here, early [month] = thirds: early, mid, late.

 

Otherwise it's by week, half, or date. Personally & speaking from experience, I'm not big on announcing hard release dates for any software.

[xanna]

@Admin I hope we will get an update whenever you decide to release it as most convenient for you

Citrus acid is found, naturally, only in citrus fruits like lemons, oranges and grapes. 

Not at all.
Citric acid occurs "in a variety of fruits and vegetables"
Grapes aren't citrus fruit. Maybe you meant grapefruits, which are citrus and very different from grapes.

I'm really looking most forward to a Camera, Cougar, and a new region to explore.

I imagine you'll have to wait a year longer in that case.
