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

[tessspoon]

Looks/sounds amazing! After five years another few weeks won't make much difference.

And new episode 5 with another char? Woot!

[KatieHal]

Enchantermon, you so completely win for that!  

Yes, a second playable character! I look forward to seeing who people think it will be....

[writerlove]

Yay it's our old friend the suffer! He's never going to go away, is he?

And for the record, my vote for the playable character is Valanice or Alexander!

[Haids1987]

You guys!  Have you not been paying attention?  It's CEDRIC!  *Mumbles* Jeez.  I have to explain everything around here...

[Enchantermon]

Well, being a fan-based company, we'd be hypocritical if we didn't take in fan feedback.

This is true, but also realize that at this point, none of us were expecting the game to be expanded, especially since you had to cut it down so much in order to fit a reasonable release schedule and produce a complete story. So to have not only a whole new episode (essentially) but also the re-inclusion of a second playable character is amazing and above and beyond what any of us were expecting, even from a dev team that is as awesome at taking feedback and running with it as you guys are.

Enchantermon, you so completely win for that!  

Thanks!

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Edgar. I don't think it'll be one of the twins or Valanice since they all seem to be incredibly affected by everything that's going on. So I'm thinking it'll either be him or possibly Cassima, though with Cassima's involvement with Mordack and Alhazred I wouldn't be surprised if everything that's going on ends up affecting her, too. Either of them would be awesome, though, since they weren't playable in any other game.

Hah! It would be hilarious if it really was!

Oh well I can wait a bit longer. The new pictures are fantastic. Episode 4 and 5 being combined to make episode 4 is awesome. And being able to play another character in episode 5 is brilliant.
I think that the character will be Rosella.

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.

^_^

This would make a really great commercial.  Maybe if the animators and voice actor had enough time... *plotting ensues*

Oh man, I'd be going ape if it was Cassima.  I love the girl, more than Rosella! She's my favorite girl in the series. I'm pumped that we actually get to have a heart-to-heart with her in Episode 3, hopefully like when we did so with Edgar.

Incredible, maybe in some way after making that Special Episode 5 and like you guys once said where you will Release All Episodes as 1 Game that maybe you guys can Strech Episode 1 into a Longer Level.  

You Guys have New Animators and Almost made Episode 5 Squashed Into Ep4 so this would be a Perfect Oppertunity to Stretch Ep1 Halfway to the size of Ep2  

I wouldent be surprised if Ep1 was squashed Into Ep2 to make Both Eps Longer, then we would still have 4 Episodes (New Ep5 as Ep4)

Take as much time as you guys need, since i see theres a KQ3 from AGDI on the way and then the Next Chapter of Back to the Future.

I see the poor Horse has a Life Bar, it would be cool but sad if he is Killed.

Perhaps it isn't a life bar? Maybe it's a speed bar.

Indeed. I wonder if there are any rocks with buttons inside holes in the Green Isles.....

No, silly! It's Suffer! You have to run around a maze eating dots while trying to avoid Shadrack's minions.

I've known about the new Episode 5 thing for a while (at one time, it was the super-secret Episode 6), but I still know very little of what will be in it. I'm as excited to see it as the rest of you!

Me too actually. I just didn't want to say anything on the forums. We've been planning pretty far ahead...

As for who the playable character is... Isn't it obvious? It's CONNOR! I mean, considering the original third part (before the game got put into episodes) was called Eternities, and Yonkey even said that events of Mask play a huge part in the game... So now it's official... You play as Connor. In his birthday suit no less! If you don't believe that, then you play as Cez. I mean, come on. Can't you just see it happening?

soooooooooo 3 years per ep now?

[dark-daventry]

soooooooooo 3 years per ep now?

Not at all. In fact, ep 3 is slated for next month. If we do get to three years per ep, it means we're adding a lot of cool new features. We are adding cool new features, but not nearly enough to make development last three years. Though, the final product would be pretty amazing I gotta admit...

[Haids1987]

soooooooooo 3 years per ep now?

  Where'd you get that?

Didn't you hear? It's NEW math! Math for the 21st century! Who needs 20th century math from a bunch of dead magicians? Wait, it's pronounced mathmaticians? That can't be right... DARN YOU, ENGLISH! (and math)
