Mysterious Song: Release Is Pending

[ParanoiaDragon]

Believe me, we're going to make every attempt possible to make real pressed cd's of all our games....well, probably not any remakes we do, but, original games yeah.  Release, not sure.  I think we're still waiting on some tilesets, & I think some palettes for the cinemas.

[nodtveidt]

Yeah, lc is still plugging away at the tilesets, and so far they kick ass. The first cinema is completed, and the next three are designed but unfinished (missing animations). I don't know if he's started on the final cinema or not (it's REALLY long) but so far so good...the first cinema looks pretty good and the second one will turn out nicely too.

I used to tap my Turbo/PCE CD systems when they got lost, but now I just open the CD door, wait for the disc to stop spinning and then close the door.

Works every time.

[Joe Redifer]

But that takes longer.

[Black Tiger]

But that takes longer.

Yeah, but I don't like the idea of my CD bouncing as it spins.

So you're saying I shouldn't use the sledgehammer?

So you're saying I shouldn't use the sledgehammer?

Most definitely not!  Immediately switch to a dead blow rubber mallet - you don't want to risk scratching the case.

What is the current status of this release?

[Keranu]

Tiles are still coming together, cinemas are finilazing, and some more programming. The game is so close to completition, but it just hasn't reached that final step yet and I have no idea when that step could be. The good news is that I think once one game is finally out, it won't be much long for the other games to get released.

I sooooo can't wait.

All my work on the project is frozen right now and has been for a few days. My monitor died a few days ago and so I've not been able to do any work (been using my wife's computer). Once I get a new monitor, I'll be back to work on my part of the project so we can get it out there.

I love projects that are "almost done" for months or even years.  It seems everyone (myself included) severely underestimates the amount of time required to finish that last 5%.  I'm not bitching though; this grasshopper has patience.  Mysterious Song will be released when it's released, and not a moment sooner.

Ain't that the truth! The first 90% of a game can be made in less time than the last 10% takes!

[ParanoiaDragon]

I think that last 10% of a project, should be considered truthfully more like 70%, so basically, 30% of the game is done!

[Keranu]

Good point!
