From now on, all orders are going to be handled by me personally, which includes the first 100. Keranu is going to ship me most of the remaining stock of discs as well as the bonus materials. I shipped four orders earlier today and still have six current orders in the queue, plus sirhcman's disc. Local pickup from Crete will still be available to anyone who lives nearby though, as Keranu will retain a couple of boxes for conventions and such. I received confirmation that the replacement discs have arrived at the distribution center in San Juan, so we should have them tomorrow. It will take about 2 days to get the replacements ready, since the next few days are pretty busy here. But by the end of the week, the first batch of the preorders should start to go out.

Has anyone made any maps yet? The EX Game's exclusive dungeon in space is driving me nuts.

OldMan

QuoteHas anyone made any maps yet?
Yes, actually. I have it completely mapped out, on 16 pages of graph paper. EVERY single square.
Sorry, it's too big to scan and/or take a picture of, though.

It's not that long of a walk if you go straight to the exit.
Finding out how to do that is a different thing, though.

I don't mind the wait so much, I've got so much stuff to play between PC games, PS3 and MMOs that I probably won't get to MS right away. It'll just be a pleasant surprise one day when it shows up in the mail.

I've been working on them with screenshots, but was going to wait a while before releasing them. If I find the time to finish off the EX maps, I'll post everything on my site.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

Heh heh, I did it and managed to complete the EX Game last night. Now I'm going to review the game.

OK, now that I finished the game here's my opinion on it:

lol that was a pretty awesome review :)

Still eagerly awaiting mine, but happy to wait.

Don't be upset if I don't do an actual review in PC Engine Gamer, although I will do a thing on the game. I'm too linked to the PCE Homebrew stuff to be impartial so I'd rather just promote it in a feature without major scoring bias. I'll be doing the same with all PCE homebrew releases, not just MSR.

I think this is a noble way to handle things, :pcgs:. Promote the game openly (and proudly).

Thanks, I still hate those dragons and the long dungeons but in the end the game was just awesome.

Nah, it'll be this week. Keranu shipped the discs last week, and the USPS website says it's Cataño's distribution center, which means it'll arrive tomorrow. However, the rest of it was shipped today, but it should be here by Thursday. I'll have the first batch of orders sent out Friday at the soonest... will try to get as many done as possible this week. :) If you confirm your address with me via PM, I'll mark your order as "high priority" and make sure you're part of the first wave of shipments.

Just wanted to check in on the status of the shipping. No particular rush on my part, but just want to make sure that if I'm expecting something I'll actually check the mail.

At this point I hope shipping is delayed so I receive the item on December 24th.  How awesome would that be!

The bonus items are scheduled to start shipping on Tuesday. We can finally put this mess behind us and never look back.

The nightmare is over. The first 100 are in the process of being shipped out the door. MSR is now officially a completely closed project. Time to move on to the next big thing. Many lessons learned here, and many mistakes made... some of which will probably be repeated anyway. :lol:

We are releasing 50 additional copies of the bonus DVD as independent sales on eBay. There are several reasons for this:

-Lots of people have been asking for it to become available like this
-Seeing it for sale like this on eBay will have the same anti-gouging effect as with the initial game release
-All sales will benefit the American Red Cross

Another 50 are available from our website directly, but we can only ship to US locations there... all international sales have to be through the eBay listing.

So have the first 100 orders all officially shipped yet?  Truth be told I'm only interested in one in particular.
Gypsies did it.

Not all have been shipped yet... ran into a snag... out of packing materials again. More on the way. Shipping will resume in a few days. I have just two more orders to send right now, but of course, the post office is closed tomorrow so even that will wait till Friday. Slowly but surely, however, they're all being sent out. Which one in particular are you interested in? :lol:

No worries I was just curious.  I get nervous about my packages being in post office limbo.  I believe the order that I cared the most about was #57, but I can wait another week or two before the real crying begins. :lol:

I can't remember my order number...  #13 seems to ring a bell in my head - or maybe that was Insanity, but anyway...  I'm assuming that would've shipped by now then?

Can you let me know when mine goes out. I know overseas can be crappy slow but there's extra chance the postman will lose it.

Save mine for last, as I'll be more than happy to wait cause I know I'll get it eventually. I'm not worried. :wink:

Hell, I don't even know what number I am. :P  I just occasional look up my paypal notification for it in my "waiting for orders" e-mail folder and say: "Soon... Soon!". :P

Yes, everyone will get their order. Once all the orders are processed, I'll post it on every forum out there just in case we missed anyone.

*Hopes in time for Christmas*

hizaygizirlz

Christmas miracle my game has been received.

I'll admit up to this point I thought the whole thing was fake.  The screenshots, the packaging, the website, the thread, etc.

I thought all of it was an elaborate scheme, involving dozens of people, with the goal to swindle me and a few others out of $40.

I am proud to admit that I was wrong.  The game does in fact exist and will shortly enter my Duo.

Once again just wanted to thank you guys for the hard work.

Excited.

Thankfully, cuz I really didn't want to have to divert from whatever music I was working on at the time(probably JB) to come up with a new tune.
