Time for an honest update on a release scedule.

in Lounge
first off I love this product,or at least the thought of this product. But with all the focus being on the seed investments with no information or update on a release timeliness it's starting to feel like a Con. I know quality takes time but you could at least keep us better informed.

Q2 2016 starts at the beginning of April, so my guess is that they will increase production of pre-order Omni's after they finish the kickstarter Omni's.
Canceling orders, pulling money out of seed-invest and bitching on the forum will not make this go any faster.
@Singularity Kickstater backer #9 here, I'm a patient man but man.... the wait is killing me (not to mention all my friends are convinced I just got scammed lol)
Altho the response from this Dev is concerning: "Great news !! but i'd like to have some news about shipping date too.... it seems you forgot a lot of your backers are dev, and what is a product without games to fully support it ?
Oculus/vive as already a lot of games for launch date, and it seems the only good experience we'll have on Omni at launch will be TraVR... ( i speak about decoupled locomotion games).
Btw, will TraVR will be released with Vive support at launch ?
Please forgive my impatience, but i've really think we would have receive our omni ealier..."

As for concerns that VR developers are not making Active VR type experiences - don't worry; if you were a developer and only had a mouse to work with, would you make a FPS or a point and click adventure? As soon as they get hold of an Omni, they'll see that it's more fun for them to play their own games this way than teleporting from one point to another.
Commercial release isn't the same thing as a preorder release. If you look at Oculus, it's taking care of preorders first, and then moving on to a commercial release in April where you can just order them. There are a lot of orders to get through before they can come through with the commercial release I imagine. Anybody have any thoughts? Maybe I'm just being naive?
I'd say there is still a reason to think Q2 might have some pre-orders receiving their product.

@gleamingsands. Anything I say will be just speculation so it would really be better if there's an official confirmation. I will say this though: now that Virtuix is a semi-public company (through the mini-IPO) they will have not only us customers they have to communicate to, but also public shareholders as well (not just institutional investor). That will bring certain legal obligations and as well as additional pressure on their end to deliver a successful product to the market. They're also being injected with additional capital from the IPO so hopefully that will speed things along as well. My spidey sense is telling me the possibility of a buyout as well
