Mysterious Song is now released

[Arkhan Asylum]

Jewel cases have gotten cheaper in general.

Brand new CDs from the store sometimes have the same cases.   They are noticeably weaker.   It's basically a toss-up.

[SMF]

Just ordered my copy, Its nice when you finally have money in paypal lol. Can't wait to play it. Thanks again.

[DesmondThe3rd]

New copy of Mysterious Song: 40 bucks. Used copy of Magical Chase: $3206.99! Sadly I bid on that recent ebay MC auction too with no luck.

[Joe Redifer]

As I posted in the other thread about recent purchases, my copy came yesterday.  The front part of the case had the hinge broken off.  The back part of the case had a large crack.  The inside black plastic CD holder had several tabs broken off, but was still holding the disc firmly in place (unlike EU Dreamcast cases where the disc flops around the second any of the tabs come off).  The disc itself was fine.  I just swapped it out with one of the many spare CD cases I have on hand.  Obviously the damage happened during shipping.  But the disc was fine so I didn't get worked up about it.

Yikes! Sorry to hear about the shipping, thankfully I'm all out of those loose poly bubble mailers. In any event you do want a new original case, I'll gladly send you one free of charge. The hinges seem to be particularly vulnerable, that's where I've noticed the most broken pieces of plastic from the bulk that was shipped to me. One case had a hinge that was jammed and wouldn't even open.

Ok, from here on out, we will be encassing them in Jello!!

[kiketonto]

I just ordered my copy right now! I don't bother if I am one of that 100 selected ( I suppose not), but at least...I can play the game!
Congratulations for the release!

My vote is Carbonite....

[Keranu]

I've been encasing the game in bubble wrap and then shoving it inside a padded USPS envelope. Feels much better, it doesn't move around and has lots of protective cushioning -- the package looks like a pillow!

Better sleep on it overnight just to make sure.

[SuperPlay]

My copy has arrived. Looking forward to playing this :-) Thanks

[RegalSin]

Oh the manity.

[Arjak]

Any news on those bonus discs? I am SO ready to play this!

Ditto!

[ParanoiaDragon]

IIRC, they're almost ready, though that's Nod's call, as I think he's the one handling them.

[_Paul]

After all this time, I'm VERY patient.

[OldRover]

If all goes according to my diabolical plan... err... as long as there are no mishaps, this should wrap up around Thursday and I should be able to have them shipped to Keranu on Friday.

I will be ejaculating soon enough!  Thanks for the update.

Yes, thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to listening to the tunes, first and foremost

So...did it all go according to plan?

[OldRover]

Nothing ever does.

[Arjak]

All right, could you guys please just send my copy of the game now, and send the bonus items when they're ready? I'm starting to get a little impatient. I'm sorry if that's a problem, I'm just really excited to play this.

[OldRover]

Yeah, just PM Keranu with your order name and/or email address used to order and he'll put you in the "ship now" list.

[Mishran]

Who'll be then next to give into temptation?

[JapanTokei]

I got my order superfast when I BINed it on Ebay 3 weeks ago.    Thanks Keranu for the fast shipping!  it was gem minty and I just brought it back to Singapore today

[TurboXray]

I have a whole week off, the first week of October. I'm gonna have to reserve it for playing this

[esteban]

Who'll be then next to give into temptation?

Hahhaha. Someone posted earlier about the irony (namely, many folks who signed up earliest, like me, are choosing to wait for the bonus item, which means we will be the last to receive the item).

Personally, this is the sweetest aspect of the experience. DELAYING GRATIFICATION.

I gotta make sure my girlfriend doesn't sign up on this site...  I always tell her it is better if I don't wait.

And...today mine's arrive! I got my copy!

[OldRover]

Just a quick update on the status of the bonus stuff: one of my drives died and I was unable to continue the process. I've ordered a replacement drive which will be here in a few days so I can finish it up. 44 discs remain to complete. I'm going to go ahead and mail the first 50 to Keranu so he can get them out to people... the rest will come as soon as the replacement drive arrives and I can finish the remaining discs.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Lol, fuck yeah LIGHTSCRIBBLE.

Those drives are so fuckin fioasdjifoijfgdhsfogijhaodigfhsftgoijd sdfgsdfgoasdgadgf


I had the power go out midburn on one, and it half did the disc.   I tried guessing about where to stick it to restart so it'd not waste the disc


Went poorly.

[Arjak]

I received my copy today and I'm really digging it. I have noticed something weird, though. The loading times are very erratic. Whenever I enter a battle, the load times vary between two seconds all the way up to nearly half a minute. I've never seen this before, not even in beta testing.

Even so, I'm really enjoying the game and I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store! Thank you so much for putting in all those years of effort!

[allyourblood]

I haven't received mine yet, but I'm taking that as a good sign. I remember being one of the last few to get in on the bonus so I'm guessing that's why mine hasn't arrived yet. Yay!

Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this project! I still won't be able to play the darn game until I get my Duo repaired, but it was a real treat to be able to support such a cool project from some really great folks.

(and for anyone who still remembers me, I apologize for not frequenting the forums much at all in the last year. I'm just now caught up on a bunch of stuff and hope to be able to participate much more in the near future.)

allyourblood: You are qualified for the bonus item (you're order #73). Unfortunately that means you have to wait until the second batch of bonus discs are ready

You're #93, so you can either wait for the second batch of bonus items to arrive or choose to have just the game shipped now. Let me know which you'd prefer!

[sirhcman]

Thanks Keranu

[allyourblood]

Yes, thank you Keranu! I can't wait to play this! Heck, I can't wait just to open it and check it out.

[Keranu]

You're all welcome . Thanks for ordering!

Mine received but not with bonus disc. May I have my copy layer?

Sorry, you weren't one of the first 100 orders eligible for the bonus item. (You were order #192) We do plan on producing more bonus items in the future, so you can try again then.

Ah! It's ok! I suppose there I was not one of that CHOSENS, but...I have to try!
Thanks anyway! And congratulations for the game. I'm playing right now with Ryanna on level 13. Now I have Fire, Ice & Thunder! Hahaha!

[Keranu]

Wait until you get X-Fire, Ice & Thunder!

[RegalSin]

You're #93,

It's the DMV all over again.

You're order #42, qualified for the bonus item! Yours should be getting shipped soon, hopefully this week, but it will take a couple weeks to reach New Zealand.

[Mishran]

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a list of all the members and their order # so they can just look and not have to pester ya about it?

Everyone will also know where they stand on the bonus items situation. Just a thought.

[Keranu]

I don't have the actual usernames listed in the order log and I don't suppose customers would be too thrilled about having their full names or email addresses listed publically . Oh well, doesn't bother me so if anyone wants to know their order # just PM me or post here.
