Episode 3 Release Date Pushed Back (but here's why)

[dark-daventry]

Hm. That sounds interesting. It will most certainly be a test, but I know the entire team will rise to the challenge, and conquer it!

[Blackthorne]

Everyone here has been so supportive about you missing the deadline.


Me?  Not so much.

You give me the game on Jan. 29th, as promised, or I swear I will rain down hellfire the likes of which you've NEVER SEEN!  I will be forced to rant and rave on internet chat forums about what a bunch of inconsiderate liars and monkey-loving snarks you all are!  GIVE ME THE GAME!

In summary, I'd like to say good luck finishing it by Jan 29th so you can appease me.

Blackthorne, have I ever mentioned that I get a kick out of reading your posts?

[Haids1987]

Oh, thank goodness! I'm actually really relieved that it's being pushed back--like I said earlier, I have a 1:15 appointment to give blood that day, and I'd be missing the pre-release hype!

Take your time, guys and dolls.  We've waited this long, what's a few more weeks?

[Enchantermon]

I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, but I completely understand, especially since this is all being done in your spare time. Take all the time you need, and I'll be here patiently waiting.

And let me just say that I'm absolutely thrilled that you guys have decided to expand the ending; that's awesome! And adding another playable character? Sweet!

Awesome rendering of the Crystal Tower, by the way.

Oh, and...

[Haids1987]

Oh, and...

Graham could totally be the new Old Spice guy!

[Enchantermon]

I completely agree. Graham is all that is man.

[writerlove]

Graham is a beast!

And more material? Squeeeeeeee! Ah I'm very excited to play this.

"Hello, ladies, how are you?  Fantastic.  Does your man give you tiaras, brooches, necklaces, and rings the first time he meets you?  No!  Should he use Old Spice body wash?  I don't know!  Do you like the smell of adventure?  Do you want a man to smell like he can lure a goat to a troll's toll bridge and rescue you from quartz towers?  Of course you do!  Now I'm on a horse."

[writerlove]

Hailey, you have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now. That's great!

OMG Haids! That's awesome!

Hello, maidens. Look at your king. Now back to me. Now back at your king. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. But if he stopped using maiden-scented body wash and switched to Ye Olde Spice he could smell like he's me. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're on a The Green Isles' ferry with the king your king could smell like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's an oyster with a golden key inside that unlocks a door leading to the thing you love. Look again. The key is now a diamond-encrusted tiara. Anything is possible when your king smells like Ye Olde Spice and not a maiden. I'm on a horse.

Wow! Another gem!

There's a reason I love this community!

Lol. Thanks!

I just wanted to throw my hat in the ring and my two cents into whatever the relevant metaphor is and say that I'm glad you're taking as much time as you need over it. After all, you only get to release each episode once so you should make sure they're top quality!

Also, I'm loving the idea of new content added in Episode 5. It's really reassuring to know that fan feedback can not only change technical or gameplay things like switching long narration off or letting Graham run, but can actually improve the story. I mean, that's just fantastic in every way.

Well, being a fan-based company, we'd be hypocritical if we didn't take in fan feedback. I mean, I don't think EA would change their games based on fan feedback much (with the exception of The Sims. That entire franchise is based around the fans). We truly do value the opinions of our fans, and it's always inspiring and insightful to see what they can come up with. The fact of the matter is that we simply wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. If the community hadn't believed in not only us, but our project, then we wouldn't be where we are today. We owe it to you to give you a top notch product. It's our way of saying "thank you" for all the support you've given us over the years. Now, we're giving back. It's like Christmas, only it isn't!  We're working hard to make this game as good as it can possibly be.

And, technically, we could release each episode multiple times. We could release it, realize it has a major bug, revoke it, fix it, release it again, realize there's another huge bug, revoke it again, release again etc etc. Just nitpicking

[LightWarrior]

Don't worry guys I got my bases covered! We'll be coming....
