I'm not worried about it one bit. The game is done, or very nearly done, as far as they have announced. They just had a setback with production, that's all. The issue is getting it out there in the hands of the consumer. They have done that beautifully with amazing packaging since their first release. If they can make Sacred Line look like a real game, I'm sure they'll work wonders with this one.
<~~~Still patiently awaiting.
Yeah I'm not concerned, the game will be released, eventually...
Thank's for the update.
Buyer: "In your estimation, when will this game be finally released?"
Game dev: "Who knows. Maybe sometime next year. Maybe not"
Buyer: "Awesome news! I'll hold you to that!"
:p
Maybe we should piece together Fonzie's last interviews and find clues in them that he has been kidnapped and is asking for help using codes, then we'll call the police and everything'll be fine! :)
People payed real money to play "Find the Treasure" with a ghost man.... sounds like a good plot for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. :rofl:
Maybe the whole Paprium campaign is the start of it? He's in a dungeon somewhere with a phone or tablet he secreted at some point and concocted this whole thing as the code. Social media would have been too obvious and got him caught you see.Quote:

Anyone knows how much it costs to make a professional commercial with color grading & effects AND a professional dedicated java driven website? a LOT.
I assume our pre-order money is long gone.
Fonz wrote the website (I did the previous sites prior to magical game factory). The video I've no idea but I imagine it didn't cost much...Quote:

If that was the case you'd be left with a ROM :)Quote:

Part of me wants this to happen, just so we can get some damn answers. Then again, what if we all just got bamboozled, and this game is simply not happening? If a website found that out, I would actually be kinda sad. I just want this game/saga to be over, but then what? All we would have to talk about is how smaller, less financially established indi-devs can make games in fractions of the time with great transparency. I know that the quality of game, packaging, etc. is different, but I'm just sayin'.
I mean, somehow, in all this time, WM produced/packaged/shipped/published 2 Genesis games with zero build up/crowdsourcing money, but were unable to secure publishing/packaging for a game they totally got paid for? C'mon... This needs a web-series investigation piece by Vice Media.
We're 5 years into this thread FFS...
Some nights I.. I wake up screaming of yet another nightmare where Fonzie breaks into my house demanding GEMS!Quote:

Sometimes I pee all over myself and then I can't sleep anymore and I lay there sobbing ;_;
And the sad news is that I invested years of my life to this, used my credibility and experience ...and all this miss communication and drama is making me have a sour taste the more time goes by. I really hope to get some news soon, being in a big part responsible for this game and being left in the dark since the release trailer is really pushing it.Quote:

This is a really infuriating aspect of this. Even the people that dedicated their time to the project are left somewhat in the dark. It seems to be the same case with the team that did the audio.Quote:

I don't even have to know where the game is at, or if you feel it's close to done. Just the most basic of all, have you simply played the game on an actual Genesis?
