Phoenix Online is having a party, and you're all invited!
To celebrate the upcoming release—and to reveal some HUGE news—we're having a live pre-release chat party next weekend! As The Silver Lining builds to its dramatic climax and the Phoenix Online team turns our attention to the future, we wanted to put together something extra special for the fans who have supported us during this long, exciting journey.
So mark your calendars for October 29th at 2:00 PM Eastern. You'll see the Episode 4 trailer, hear new details about the episode (including the exact date of the early November release date--it's so close we can taste it!), and be one of the very first people to hear about the commercial game we'll be announcing on Halloween! That's right, we'll be spilling the beans to you—the fans—at the party, before we send out the press release!
Even better: Jane Jensen herself will be there!
We'll also have special guests Fable Foundry to talk about Art of Sierra and some other great new projects, and Romano Molenaar, comic artist with prominent work on X-Men, Tomb Raider, and The Darkness --find out at the party how he's involved with us!
We hope you'll set aside some time for this once-in-a-lifetime event and join us at the Pre-Release Party, October 29th, 11:00 AM PDT / 2:00 PM EDT/ 8:00 PM GMT/ 8:00 CEST on Ustream! (http://www.postudios.com/ustream.html) We hope we see you there!

Unfortunately, that party is happening at 2:00 *am* my time, and if I tried to stay up that late I would be too delirious to enjoy the party.
Is it, by any chance, going to be recorded?
EDIT: And how long is it going to last? If it goes on to 5pm EST, then I might be able to make it to the tail end (5am is about the earliest I can wake up and be coherent).
I should be there... but it will depend on the bus schedule from Limerick to Galway... and next weekend will be the first time I'll be making that trip... Deloria! Take notes plzkthx. *nods* :yes: ;P
Glottal: good question! We'll look into recording it for those who cannot make it.
So excited!! ;D
Woooo *does happy dance* This will be so much fun :)

Naps.
Do 'em.
o.o
We're planning for it to go until about 5 PM EST.
So cool! !!!
:D :D !!!
This is going to be a long week :P
Why do I have to work next weekend? I'll see what I can do, it sounds cool!
I'll be stall bunnying while this happens. :/ That's annoying. I'd like to be around for it.
Awww....I really thought it was still gonna be released in October when you guys announced it. But I will be happy for early November to play it, as I know you guys will take the extra time to make this episode really nice! I can make the live chat though as that is only 1 pm my time!
I'll be there for sure. Wouldn't want to miss this! Will try to record it too ;D

Naps.
Do 'em.
Except I have to work on Sundays, which means that I can't mess up my sleep schedule on that day (I get Mondays off, so I don't mind working on Sunday).
You are going to be competing against some AAA titles like Zelda and Skyrim. Good luck, hope you get lots of downloads ;)

I'm going to a convention where I'll be behind a stall which is not my own. I'm dressing up to promote a website. That'll be over the Saturday and Sunday.

I think they will be releasing Ep. 4 before those games come out as they said early November (very early as they've been hinting). And remember, TSL is FREEEEEEEEE ;D and those other two games are like $50 or more a piece!
Until the day of the party (fixed typo), in Europe there's the CEST in use (Central European Summer Time), so it will be at: 08:00 PM, aka 20:00.
In UK it should start at: 07:00 PM (BST, British Summer Time), aka 19:00.
Other major countries are included in the CEST time zone.
Thank you Silver Ball! I take it that means we should change the "CET" time in the post? (Just want to confirm this before I run around the internet editing posts!)

Yes, I meant the date of the party.
Or celebrate it the day after (kidding ;) )
GMT and CET at the moment are not in use, BST and CEST until the night between October 29th and October 30th.

Thank you.
P.S.: don't forget the PM, or type 20:00.
;D
Best wishes for episode 4!
@Hbech
Very true!! I'll be playing the silver lining regardless as i am extremely invested at this point (an amazing game very true to KQ for free) I'm just slightly dissapointed its delayed, but hopefully it will be very polished once released.
What's going to be the general format of the party? Is there any schedule for the ~3 hours it's planned to run? I might have to work my schedule a bit but want to be involved as much as I can.
Jane Jensen . . . a true master at her craft. What an honor!
We do indeed have a schedule we'll be running on--it's not a three hour free-for-all ;) I'd tell you when to show up for the most exciting news, but...honestly, it's all pretty exciting!
Grr, I won't be able to make it. I have work pretty much right when it's supposed to happen. :-\ I REALLY hope someone records it; I'd hate to miss this entirely!
Yeah...we're not going to be around :( We canceled plans last weekend and want to try to do those plans this weekend. But who knows, maybe we'll get back to hit the end of it :)
Tomorrow! This happens tomorrow! Eeee!! ;D ;D
Ok so I tried the converter thing and I'm still stumped. That's pretty sad, eh? Ok can someone PLEASE tell me what time this shindig starts in U.S. Central time? I'd really like to see it all go down if 'ol Jack Daniels hasn't kicked my butt too badly lol
Haha, well, we hope you can join us at 1 PM Central, cowboy!
At what time(s) will the raffles take place?
The raffles will be happening throughout the chat.
Today's the day! I'm so excited!
Submit any questions you have for us or for our guests, please submit them at questions@postudios.com to be entered into our raffles.
Previous Chamber question raffles were generally very silly. :P Can these be?
Hello. I just sent some question for you but got a "mail delivery failed" message????

I just got an e-mail from Adrieen saying my questions went through.
All is good then.
Chief/Jepe
I wish I could join y'all. My mom is coming to visit so i'll be hanging out with her. Have fun :) And I hope this can be recorded.
We are working on a why to record it :)

If you have a question submit it. We are looking for ones we can ask Jane, TSL development team, and our other guests, but I guess so. There is no rule saying they can't be silly.
You can submit questions during the chat session as well to be added too.
Has it already started? I'm getting "There was an error connecting to the chat server, please try again later!"
Recorded it all: Jane Jensen, Were Pups, Nightstreet Gloves, Art of Sierra, Silver Lining,... Should be posted tomorrow for those who missed it.
Awesome, I missed parts and would love to hear them.
Here's one part already: Jane Jensen live. I'll set up a page on the Chest about the entire pre-prelease party.

Awesome! Thank you Rudy :) Will take a listen now.
Thanks, Rudy! I missed some of the Fable Foundry stuff because I had to take Benjamin potty. :P Also, I had to leave around the time they started talking about TSL.
Here you go, the whole event ;)

Same here; thanks Rudy!
Is this the whole event Rudy? I think I logged off a wee bit after the audio abruptly cuts off in the last file, though it sounded like they were planning to stay on a while answering questions.
I recorded around 3 hours of the event. They were still having random chat at the end, but all guests and main topics were done, and my PC was getting issues due to the length of the recording.
When will that Q/A be online and will it be uploaded onto Youtube.
It won't be on Youtube because there was no video of the event but the audio has been uploaded. Rudy recorded it all:
