At this point in life, it seems like i've reached a point where checking through this thread is part of my monthly routine in life. Whenever that primal and perverse thought creeps in i'd find myself here again, reading through the same replies that are pretty much 'paraphrased' when compared to years of being here. Hope you guys are doing well in life, peace :)

I don't know if this is new info but V3 will (probably) double the content from V2. Just an estimate checking the amount of folders MD got currently. He's currently in the "writing house" in the woods, so don't expect streams for a while. That's not a joke, he's actually there.
Let's leave fanfares and all for when he will release it, news are very good, but over-hyping it will deal more damage to it, since a lot of time have passed between updates. I bet some won't be satisfied with any amount of content we will receive. I just hope it will be this year.

I'm just relaying information as usual. This ain't fanfare.

you are guessing the amount of content based on... folders. you have no clue how much is in each folder, or whenever all of them will be in V3. you are causing more damage than good because now folk will vaguely recall 'v3 will have double content!' and if it comes out and doesn't have it, they will be disappointed.

if you want to share info, at least do it accurately such as a screenshot of folders, or their amount with a clear disclaimer you have no idea how much content it has.

current vs v3 database, v3 file count is without pictures

There's also this folder.

I've been debating whether I should post these or not since I don't know what information is exclusive knowledge for the inner circle, and what is okay to share. I can't ask him about it right now, and I could have forgot about sharing anything if I wait until he comes back.
I did say "probably" when I posted here. If you take our estimates as a fact after reading that, then I don't know what to tell you.
This is the last time I'm doing this. Next time I'm hesitant about it, I will not post at all.

Well thanks for sharing, isn't the next release, if it does happen, going to be in a different engine anyways? Kinda makes file size moot when it's in a different engine and likely different format. Since Flash/Air was Vector, and whatever hes using now is very very likely Raster, which is pre-rendered vs rendered images.

V3 is basically a whole new game since he had to remake it in Unity.
It's not the file size we used for the estimates but the folder count. Our estimate is about 50 new characters so far, counting ferals, environmental characters, and actual characters. V2 has 60 if you haven't checked.
There was also a new name I haven't seen before but that doesn't matter much.

Folder count can also be misleading, since different formats require more folders for the same number of files even. Now if you've looked over all the entries for characters and counted those and say 50, and with all the art streams for "game art" I'm willing to believe about 50 new ones exist since last release. Likely a lot of them won't be added.

It's still going to be pictures and txt files to make modding easier iirc. 50 is a big number, but it becomes smaller when you understand that both Taulsol and Taulsol's house are characters. The main menu is a character now too.
Stream art is only loosely related to the game.

Neat, however if I recall the Flash/Air version actually used Vector Maps, not images.
