Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending

[nat]

Let me know if you want another tester.

[esteban]

Alright everyone, LISTEN UP! To repost what nodtveidt has announced on the Frozen Utopia forums, the deadline for Mysterious Song will be November 9th, 2007. We are very close to completition and have a relation with a pressing company, so it's possible we could get it out before then, but it won't go beyond that date.

Even if it comes out in 2009, I'll be delighted.

I'm marking my calendar and holding you to that.

I have close ties with some folks you don't want to meet.

I've met them, they're not so tough

An update on the deadline:

The deadline for the final binary build has been set for June 30th, after which the game goes into beta status and hitches a ride on the beta testers' machines. Beta testing will take place during July and August. The game goes to pressing in September and will take approximately 23 days to complete. 1000 official copies will be pressed and the game is tentatively priced to sell for $30 each. Of course, our financial advisor has suggested a few bonus items if anyone would be interested, namely T-shirts, baseball caps, full-sized posters, and of course, agreeing with the idea of autographed versions of the game. Also, each game will be individually numbered on the inlay card, so you'll know which copy you got, and each will come with a hand-signed official Certificate Of Authenticity.

There are still a few beta testing positions available to the right people. An official sign-up form will be available in a few days to apply for the position. Also, our financial advisor has suggested a pre-order system as well. The pre-order form will not require any money, it will be there mainly to gauge interest in the purchase of the game.

This is it folks...the home stretch.

Please get these forms to me ASAP via first-class-priority-express e-mail.

[Monster Bonce]

I'd be no use to you as a beta tester but I would be happy to pre-order. Is there somewhere I can go to sign up?

[termis]

Let us all know once you get that pre-order form somewhere.  I'd for sure put one in.

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!

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. 

[Seldane]

A t-shirt would be cool. I like t-shirts. Black t-shirts.

Not size XXL though, which seems to be the only size in the world when you want to buy t-shirts with some print on them. M please.

[Equuskia]

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

[OldRover]

A new screenshot for y'all...



Thanks to Bonknuts's new image tool, the battle backgrounds have become much nicer. This particular image uses 50 unique colors. This also features Keranu's updated enemy sprites.

Your husband lied to you. Maturity is completely absent on these here forums.

To be honest, I'd probably buy at least one of every piece of promo stuff you guys decided to do. And here's another vote for some sizes smaller than XXL for the shirts.

Looking good, man. I can't wait.

[Turbo D]

ya, its seriously looking good. I'd definitely buy a shirt or hat to support frozen neutopia 

[OldRover]

Well, Equuskia really outdid herself this time. She even found teddy bears in t-shirts with the Frozen Utopia logo printed on the shirt.



A second prototype burn was made this evening to test new changes to the game code and graphics. Much improvement over the first prototype burn, but there's also a few problems lingering that haven't been addressed yet. But fear not...all will be fixed by the time the game goes to beta.

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.

[ParanoiaDragon]

We should have shirts featuring the Frozen Utopians!  You can get one that has all of us.........or, you can get ones that feature one member, so people can sport a picture of their favorite Frozen Utopian!  Ha!  OR maybe characiture's(sp?) of us on shirts or hats, or mugs, or calculators!

[MrFulci]

Nice to read this will receive release soon!

In terms of other Frozen Utopia "Stuff", the only items I can envision myself purchasing would be a pen, and possibly a mug.

A pen can be pretty cheap to produce, with only a logo or some text.

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! 

[Equuskia]

Is this what you had in mind ParanoiaDragon? 

[Seldane]

We can make Frozen Utopia action figures. Nod, Keranu, PD and Seldane fighting for love, dreams and justice...Sailor Moon!!

[Turbo D]

I would buy an action figure, you guys can get down with my ninja turtles action figures 

[TurboXray]

Is this what you had in mind ParanoiaDragon? 

Keranu + Guy Kazama? Why does he have that leg roll from the eighties?

[Keranu]

Haha, this thread is totally awesome! Thanks for the t-shirt preview, Nod's wife! 

Bonknuts, that drawing of me (designed by me personally years ago) is from the staff page on my site ;) . It makes for a pretty damn good teeeee shirt!

[ParanoiaDragon]

That's awesome, here's my picture btw

parafc1.jpg / parafc1.th.jpg

And here's my logo
pd5fq3.jpg / pd5fq3.th.jpg

Try those on for size   I have a dragon mode of me as well, somewhere around here, but, couldn't find it.  A guy over at the Allspark drew that up, & some friends of his colored it.

[Equuskia]

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

[esteban]

Put me on record: I'll buy two copies. Of course, I'm much more excited about Neutopia III. I'll buy 4 copies that that (3 gifts to Neutopia fans)!

[ParanoiaDragon]

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! 

[Equuskia]

Here it is:

[ParanoiaDragon]

Nice!   Although, I think I personally prefer the logo in the back & a little smaller, & my robot mode in front, but, either way, gives me a good idea what it'd look like!  Which reminds me, my friend is still working on my Transformer outfit, for when we go see the movie, so I'll take pictures ofcoarse!  Though, we won't be able to make it a transforming outfit in time for the movie, but, it'll be more show accurate this way(G1 Soundwave).
