If Keranu says he got 1000 copies of Insanity, someone will die. Promise.

From what I understand, the printing is finished. What was delayed was the disc itself. And if I see one pixel out of place there will be more phone calls...

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: MSR *WILL* be finished, come hell or high water... hell more likely.]

I'm not surprised. If that check disc wasn't in your hands today like I was told, they would have gotten another lovely phone call tomorrow. They are safe....for now...

What was that about "too many chefs"? 

Anyways, the techies called me after I chewed little Bryan boy a new one. I don't mess around.

18 minutes, we've still got a few spots left! Step right up and test your might! 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song closed beta testing signup is here!]

There are still some spots left on the beta team. At midnight EST June 30th, we will accept no more applications.

You've been warned!

me three!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Poll]

I contacted them for info.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Poll]

nodt has, "It came from the desert". I though the extra blank bullets were hilarious. I mean, did they forget the games or didn't have anymore to list?

Haha, yeah I've seen another game or two that did this as well and thought it was funny.

A Working Designs style instruction manuel like Equuskia mentioned would be cool ideed with showing our next two games on the back of the booklet with a small screenshot. However I think we ultimately have to stick with the "Have you tried..." since it's a classic !

Complete with extra empty bullets? 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song development log (aka sleepless ranting)]

There's no confusing me, I'm the only Equuskia in existance. 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song development log (aka sleepless ranting)]

I always thought "Seldane" was cool. fm-77 sounds like a radio station.

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Poll]

haha, nice to see the "have you tried..." is making it's way onto the manual.
Good way to announce the 'secret' project.

I flipepd through my manuals, to see if any other games had 2 reccomendations. It looks like the only other game with 2 reccomendations is World Court Tennis.

Another unique manual I noticed is, It Came From The Desert. It has extra bullets with the reccomendations!

nodt has, "It came from the desert". I though the extra blank bullets were hilarious. I mean, did they forget the games or didn't have anymore to list?

For the back cover, I was thinking of doing it "Exile" style, with two recommendations as two columns with a screenshot of the games Parasol and Cadash.

Here it is:

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending]

give me the actual images and I'll make you a great shirt 

I sent you the pictures, where's me shirt

Nodt's gonna make you your shirt because I couldn't upload one of the images to the site I was using. But I have not forgotten! 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song development log (aka sleepless ranting)]

Wow, i didn't know people would like the new logo so much! I'm flattered 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Poll]

I voted "No" because obviously, I don't have to actually purchase a copy...who would the money go to, anyways?

me. DUH! 

And i hope everyone who voted will not purchase are FU members, or there will be hell to pay!

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Poll]

perhaps we could ship them the case + game first and instructions later when it finally arrives.

I don't think that this would be necessary, as the manuals could be printed and signed long before the disc is pressed (saving double postage).

I could do this, but usually the manuals and discs are done at the same time at the pressing house I'm going to. However, now that you mention it, I will ask if the manuals and tray insert can be done first. Thank you for the idea.

After countless bouts of frustration with mappy, my wife convinced me (mainly to stop my incessant bitching and moaning) to write a new general editor for PCE mapping.

And you wouldn't believe how well it stopped the bitching and moaning. 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song Poll]

I will purchase one copy, unsigned. $30.00 sounds good for a game such as this.

My suggestions would be:

- Please print actual CD's. Not every machine can read CD-R's. While it's nice to have a homebrew game on CD-R, not being able to play it sucks.

Mr. Fulci:
These cds will be shrinkwrapped in a clear jewelcase, with an 8 page full color stapled booklet, a full color double sided cd tray card that will be individually numbered on the back, with a professionally pressed and printed game cd inside. We will thoroughly test the pressed game on actually hardware before finishing the press to ensure it will work.

- You can always print a, "Have you tried these other games" on the manual, and list Neutopia 3, and other games you are working on. haha

That's pretty funny. I totally dig that idea!

- Put together an actual site for information on this game. Create a section on Frozen Utopia with information on the game, screenshots, etc, etc, That way the game has a home presence, where others can go to read about it. Put that together, then others can pass around a link when sharing the news of this game with others.

http://frozenutopia.com/projects.html
It's not worked on a whole lot because it takes time away from actual coding, especially now that we have a deadline. After the deadline though, I will remind Nodt.

- A newsletter would be nice. Setup a mailing list where folks can be updated to 2 important dates. Preorders, and the actual day of release.

Once the deadline has passed, I will remind him of this too. I think it's time to do a "to do" list. 

or put points on the back of the manual like those super cds, haha.

lol

Is this what you had in mind ParanoiaDragon? 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending]

I came here because Nodt told me that people were mature and wouldn't ask me for pics and here you are asking me if I'm hot! 

Nod was sorely mistaken.  Maturity is something of a bad word on this forum, and I'm going to ask for pictures..... of Mysterious Song, Neutopia III, screen shots from any secret projects F.U. is working on, and pics of Nod chained to his computer and working on M.S. (this one is probably the most important). 

Another vote here for some promo gear - especially a poster.  I guess that I'm geeky like Keranu, but not as hard core.

I feel misled now. I'm going to have to settle that one with him later 

As for pics of him chained to his computer, that would make an awesome poster. Nod, only illuminated by the bright glow of his monitor, working tiredlessly on MS. That would just kick ass.

As for the secret project, it's  . No screenies from me. 

I do like the idea of a poster or tshirt with the FUers. Keranu already has his cartoon! 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending]

I like black tshirts too. And don't worry, we'll have a M for you. 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending]

Hi, I'm Nodtveidt's financial advisor (and wife ).

Hey, a girl! Are you hot? 

I'd buy at least one t-shirt and one hat should they be made available. Possibly more than one hat, I'm a hat guy.

I came here because Nodt told me that people were mature and wouldn't ask me for pics and here you are asking me if I'm hot! 

The answer is yes btw! 

I had thought of hats and shirts. I also thought of posters for the truly geeky, like Keranu. 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Mysterious Song Poll]

This poll is pretty self explanatory!  If you are interested in buying the game, vote, and if you are interested in a signed copy, please state so. If you're not interested in buying, please state why. Note that the games will sell for $30 each, and will include a handsigned (by Nodtveidt) certificate of authenticity as well as being individually numbered. Autographed copies will obvious be much more expensive as the cd has to be sent to everyone to sign. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears! Thanks! 

[Localizations, Games, Apps, Docs / Re: Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending]

Hi, I'm Nodtveidt's financial advisor (and wife ). I'm glad you all are expressing an interest in this game, as I have been driven nuts over the past year with it!  I will be posting a poll here in order to get a feel for how many people are interested in MSR, as well as how many copies they would be interested in purchasing. If you all would help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it, as it will help me make some calculations over on my side. Also, if anyone is interested in Frozen Utopia or MSR promotional merchadise (tshirts, caps, etc), please let me know as well. Thanks everyone!
