when is the game 'Gravity' supposed to be out again? i forgot the date.

found this on ION forums:

Gravity status report
Ionomy

Team ION initially announced an internal target to release a beta of Gravity by the end of June. At the time it seemed like an aggressive target, but one we thought we could meet. Since were developing a new business model one which requires linking the ION economy to the game weve had to proceed with care for the wellbeing of the coin, the game, and the business. There are several reasons that the game wont be ready for a beta release by June 30th. The best of these reasons is security.
Our first game has to be secure. It has to prove our business model. And it has to be fun.
Until recently, we havent been satisfied with the security of the API. (We think weve just turned a corner on security, by the way!) We simply cant release a game with an API that can be hacked. Theres too much at stake. The entire ionomy is at risk if we put out an API with holes. (We will not go down the road of the DAO.)
The team has also spent more time to make the game complex and, really, more fun than we had initially planned. We know that our first game doesnt have to be perfect. It doesnt have to be a homerun. But it cant be a miss.
To get it all done, and done right, weve hired an additional gaming developer to accelerate Gravity to beta. The Gravity game API is almost complete. We will release our games as soon as they are secure and complete.
Security is our top priority. Fun is a close second.
We know we got your hopes up about the game and that some of you will be disappointed. We understand. We wish Gravity were ready for release, too.
We have heard that you want to be kept up-to-date about our progress. We agree that you deserve to have realistic expectations about ionomy. To maintain the flow of information, ionomy has also committed to stepping up our communications. Youll be hearing from us.
As you know, weve been a little quieter lately, mainly because were focused on building a game. But were not just building a multi-platform mobile game.
Were optimizing the code base for ION.
Were improving the wallets.
Were building an increasingly capable and secure online platform.
Were building an economy.
Were building the ionomy.
Were pretty excited about all that, and more.
