Dyad Delayed on PC, But It’s Coming Out This Week

Dyad is coming to the PC. This much has been confirmed. However, the game was delayed by a month. According to its creator Sean McGrath, the game was originally promised for a March release date. It's now April and the game appears to be nowhere in sight.

McGrath posted an update on his blog to explain why the game isn't out yet—and why it now shows an April 24 release date on Steam, GOG, and the game's own website. McGrath's reason for the delay is simple: he has kids, and dealing with the birth of an infant isn't as easy as one might think.

"I know that's not March. I know that the days in April are not the same as the days in March. I know I said I'd do it in March—I lied," said McGrath, who got sidetracked for a moment to deal with crud on his lip.

"Basically what happened was, I had a kid. And they're a lot of work. Who knew, right? Did you know that they like suck 24 hours out of every 24 hours of you for the first few weeks that they're alive?" he asked rhetorically. "This is how worthless we as a species are. If you take a baby and a put them beside a pillow, they die, because they put their face into the pillow and their pathetic weak little necks can't lift their head out of it, and they die of suffocating by close proximity to pillow. This is what we're dealing with here."

"That means that I was busy, and that I couldn't get the work done to release a video game. But I finished it now."

The PC version of the game will have everything contained in its PlayStation 3 counterpart with the exception of the Platinum trophy. That's good enough for me.
