Well, I didn't make it into the chat last night, but I gotta chance to download the demo and tinker with it for a couple minutes (until my computer started acting up, unfortunately).  Awesome stuff--makes me really excited about the game--waiting is even more frustrating now than before!

Anyway, one comment.  Was it just me or was "Valanice" pronounced "Valiance" in it?  I guess it's subtle, but it sort of grated on my ears a little as I am quite used to the established Valanice.  I hate to sound like a critic in the wake of such progress--I really am extremely excited about this project, but I just wondered about that.  Did I hear correctly, was it intentional, etc.

But seriously, awesome job--can't wait to see what the full game brings!

Hehe, actually even Amy herself (the Narrator) noticed this back in November after we sent it in to Vivendi:

"   3. The narrator says, "Valiance" - HELLO!!! Doesn't she know it's pronounced "Val-a-niece"!!!  DUH!      ;) 

    Otherwise, I have to say a job well done by everyone.  Your hard work and effort should not go unrewarded.  The art work and programming are fantastic.  You guys are the real stars of this.  Cesar's script has really come to life thanks to you and the help of a few good actors.  EXCEPT FOR THAT #$@% NARRATOR !!!  "

Another thing I noticed (Maybe I'm just a geek ;)) But Overon (I think thats his name) Pronounced Titania Tit-an-ia I think Its pronounced Tie-Tane-ia (Or at least I think thats how it was pronouced in the 7th KQ.) Well Maybe It's just Because I am a INSANE Person but that kinda irritated me (lol) ;D

Yeah... I wrote myself a scathing review and sent it to the guys.  I didn't think anyone got my sense of humor about it, because I didn't get a reply.  Good to know someone got it. 

I just figured you all thought I was nuts... Which I am.  Things don't read as well in emails as they do when you're actually saying them.  Tone and sarcasm don't come through.

Lol!  I once heard a GPS pronounce "bridge" as "bradge."  Can you believe it?  XB

Hahaha, I got the joke, but as Cez said, our brains were a bit too fried at the time to really relax. :P

Keep in mind that we had no idea if VU would like this game or not, so hearing of yet another bug wasn't exactly something we wanted to hear. ;)

There was another thing that was pronounced differently but I couldn't remember it.

Once you find it, be sure to let us know. :)
