I looked up Shift. There was about an 18-month gap between Shift and Shift 2, so given that they are on their own, no publisher, and taking on a bigger project, I'd guess at about two+ years from when they started.

Does anyone know the inception date?

Seems like it started taking off mid  2011. I'm only going off Devs join date  Too much searching for me. Last I read October 2013 but they wont confirm

I believe the idea was born in Ian Bell's head in late 2010 or early 2011.  He first brought the idea to the public over at NoGrip Racing forums around April 2011.

So that means, at the bare minimum, April 2013.
Won't happen.

They are going to need a reasonable amount of time to either find a publisher who will take the project on, or publish it themselves, which eats resources, mainly money for promotion. A year from now looks more reasonable.

Are you sure? I heard it was during an induced mushroom coma. The ancient elders told him "if you build it they will come" that was June 5st 2011

Reading their forums is like watching any new group of people trying to feel their way around in the dark with no flashlights.

Some people are confident and willing to work with others, set up races, maybe organised a series, etc.

Others have little confidence, pussyfoot around problems, don't know how to handle problems, don't have a comfortable controller, so they flop around a track, etc.

Some don't want passworded rooms because they are the downfall of civilization, some refuse to recognise the benefits of responsibly using VoIP during racing.

With fewer host controls, some don't know how to deal with crashers and bashers, who they call griefers.

History repeating itself.
