FIRST!! HAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeletei knew it... -_-
Deletelol
Even if one didn't donate for the cards, is it possible to donate now for them? That nude deck sounds tempting
ReplyDeleteYes, you will be able to buy these decks, but not right now. Maybe in a few months :)
DeleteHey Victor, can you ask Slime Girl Black if she can be my gf?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry young padawan, after I have finished to train her for her sex scene, I lend her to you :D
DeleteArigatou!! :D
DeleteThe map is nice :)
ReplyDeletethanks!
Deletebtw, the card games are already being shipped. I guess the estimated time was quite off! Everyone who gave us their details should have their card games delivered next week or so.
That's great, thank you for your hard work :)
Deleteyou guys should totally do a raffle/giveaway
ReplyDeleteHow do you propose we do that? We got a lot in our plates to even think about something like this... because it sounds like an event! ^^;
DeletePlease just let them focus on the game...If you forever bombard them with fluff stuff I won't see this game released till i'm 30 years old.
ReplyDeleteTheir not machines... their not going to work on the project 24/7 until it's done. The project will be done when it's done.
DeleteAnd your probably 29 turning 30 in a month or so
Deletelol it's fine...
Deletebelieve me, if we could finish the game sooner rather than later we would do so, so that we can make more games like this one! But things take time and good things take more time... that's the sheer fact of making something as big as this project.
Personally I can't wait to finish the forest levels and move on to the city levels!
(more raped hostages!) xD
yay :D can't wait for new hostage rape (wait for iron girl one ^^)
DeleteThen the next MoGi-rape will be Iron! xD
Deletethat's for later though!
I love you Slime Girl Black
DeleteShe will come in time :) here we talk about hostage rape (and if I wait for iron, it's because I pledged for her rape scene so after seeing how good neko is, I'm looking forward to see iron ^^)
DeleteWho is available in the Beta to battle? Pumpkin Girl obviously....what else thus far, can anyone update me?
ReplyDeleteIf you are asking for the enemies, then Pumpkin, Neko and Amanita are released so far. The 1st boss will be added soon.
DeleteMany Thanks. Great Game.
Deletea question about the donations here,
ReplyDeleteare you using the money for Beta Access and the Digital Mega Pack for at more stuff in the game (like the stretch goals on offbeat) or just keep it for yourself?
just asking 30-120$ isn't cheap.
If we get the money, you get the service.
DeleteWe're not counting any money we received after the pledging period towards stretch goals.
i see that means no more mogi girls no matter how much money you get from these beta, digital or any other donations, to bad
Delete(i would donate for squril,iron,gold and cactus)
wasn't squirrel gonna be added to the game. as hostage or one you can fight
DeleteShe's in as both. Iron's in as a hostage. Gold and cactus are not.
DeleteYou can check which mogi will appear in the game on the downloads page.
As much as we wanted to add all the MoGi in the game, this was a decision we had to make. We do add a few extra things if we can but we can't have these MoGi pledges open for several reasons. The most important of them are the following:
Delete1) Game balance. We had to pre-design every MoGi attack and behavior. if more MoGi are added then that balance will be gone and their gameplay design needs to be re-designed. For example, originally Neko was to run around like a cat, but since Squirrel made it to the game, Neko was changed to have an electric attack and Squirrel will be running around instead. We had to adapt the game to fit the pledged MoGi which was quite a challenge. Each MoGi needs to be unique in their behavior.
2) Deadline: We need to pre-plan as much as we can without any surprises. Imagine if we are a day away from finishing the game and someone pledges for a new MoGi. That would change a lot of variables and the game's development can virtually go on indefinitely. So we had to draw the line somewhere.
Thank you for supporting Gold and Cactus, they would have been interesting enemies :)
The modding community will add them
Deletewhen the game comes out will it be available @ places such as dlsite
ReplyDeleteYes.
Deletei guess your gonna charge a butt load then cause dlsite takes a huge cut out of your profit
DeleteThere will be multiple purchasing methods and we'll try to keep the price reasonable on all fronts.
DeleteHello excuse me I cant play the demo anymore, I don't know if it is cause I have windows 8.1 now, but I was just wondering because I played it normally when it came out and with no problems, so thx :)
ReplyDeleteI also have windows 8.1 and I just ran the demo fine. Did you extract the files before running the game.
Deleteyeah and I downloaded it like 5 times just to be sure, i'd post a video or a screen capture of my problem but I don't know how, well maybe it's just my troll computer thanks anyway :)
DeleteYay !!! I just received my game cards, thank you very much Veins and Titan :D
ReplyDeleteHaha awesome! The site sent it to you last, and since you live further than the others, I assume that everyone got their card games by now. I really hope you like them!
DeleteIs there any chance of getting a save file with Neko's rape scene? I unlocked the hostage one but I still haven't managed to even FIND the actual Neko enemy still.
ReplyDeleteMy only real gripe with the game is there are so MANY MoGi everywhere, and there's absolutely no benefit to trying to fight them. At least in Metroid games or Megaman or something, they drop energy and ammo so you have an incentive. The only reason to fight the MoGis is so they don't rape you - which is easier said then done, because there's so many and they respawn everytime you switch screens.
It's gotten to the point it's kind of frustrating to be honest, particularly as the save points are so spread out. I mean the rape animations are nice, but I kind of now wish it would just loop or have a post-defeat rape scene so I feel like I've gotten something out of losing beyond "Well time to go lose 10-20 minutes of being lost..."
The only place to find Nekos is in marker 7 on the map, in the caves under the house. There's a riddle to solve to get there. We plan to make these first levels easier once we add the Forest and the City levels done.
DeleteHonestly I think if the MoGi dropped like health pick ups occasionally, it'd make fighting at least not entirely pointless. As it stands now, you probably are better off just finding a way to avoid them, since fighting them yields you nothing and you just risk taking damage.
DeleteNow to find out how to reach marker 7 let's see... I Know I found some multi-story house with a save point so that's... somewhere... found the key once before then lost...
I think figuring out which fights you can avoid without taking damage and which fights are better to take on up front is part of the gameplay.
DeleteAlso, the minigame isn't all that difficult. Most people can get knocked down at least 4 times before they start having trouble with it.
Yes. The multi-story house with the savepoint is your destination. Specifically, a closed window on the outside roof of it. Also, the key is straight to the right on top of the water silos. A girl there gives it to you.
Yeah around 3 or 4 times is about when it gets hard. It's just the MoGi hurt quite a bit, and since you don't full heal and all, it doesn't take too long to get knocked down again sometimes.
DeleteIt's just mainly bugging me that fighting has zero benefit to you. It'd be nice if they at least could drop health once in a while, so you had some reason to fight beyond not wanting to get raped.
Well you fight to progress and see new monsters... this is the beginning. We don't want to force you into encounters so if you think you can run then run. Through gameplay you'll be expressing Vom's character too.
DeleteOnly in games with RPG systems does fighting really benefit you. We chose not to have RPG systems in order to better control the combat and difficulty.
I'm not so sure about that. I mean, if we look at say games like Metroid or (older) Castlevanias, or even Legend of Zelda, while there is no leveling up, there's still a benefit to fighting - to collect power-ups and stuff.
DeleteAnd while running is a viable option, you can't just jump over every MoGi's head sometimes. And you can't just run through them either. If you want to make fighting dangerous and pointless (aside from getting the rape scenes), then that's fine.
I just think there needs to be either far fewer MoGi in each area, more health drops/save points, or make the MoGi drop health or such. I mean, if we had gangbang/group rape scenes, the number of MoGi would sure make that a lot easier...
Will the next update have some sort of obscure hidden area, a bit of ground that looks like regular ground, but when you push down and jump you fall down a level into a secret area, but like there's no prompts telling you that there's a secret there? Or say perhaps a door that upon talking to once it simply says "I don't have the security clearance to access this area", but if you talk to it THREE times, it says something and then opens up to a secret area? Its just that at the moment the game lacks those really obscure secrets that Doom and Fez had, and you had such a tingly feeling in your spine when you discovered them
ReplyDeleteNo I dont think we will have such obscure secrets. Due to the semi-realistic nature of the game, every secret should have a solution that makes sense, such as the locations of the MoGi-rapes and the Erogi Magazines, platform and door secrets like the ones you saw already and other elements that will be introduced later.
DeleteWhat you describe reminds me of "WonderBoy in Monster World", but we aim more towards "Zelda" direction here, regarding the secrets.
I apologize for rushing you guys a month ago. You need to take your time to do something you'll be satisfied with.
ReplyDeleteUpdate tomorrow, I'm calling it, lol
ReplyDeleteToo bad they already released Pumpkin Girl, this would be a most appropriate time for her debut.
DeleteActually we wanted to release a new Beta yesterday but we didn't mee the deadline. Perhaps next week.... We are preparing a really nice update, with 2 MoGi if possible and several new screens.
DeleteAnd yeah, we talked about having a black PumpkinGirl for a Halloween event but we dropped it so that we can focus on the game.
No don't update next weeeek
ReplyDeleteupdate the week after.
ReplyDeleteUpdate whenever you can :)
ReplyDeletewe dont really have another choice :P
DeleteNever update again!
ReplyDeletei hope finishing this won't take years
ReplyDeleteI actually don't mind if it takes a year, as long they produce a quality game that isn't rushed, I'd rather it take a year and have a memorable game than a rushed job which people demand their money back for lol
DeleteI do think it will end as a really high end game but I definitely think it'll take a couple years to finish.
DeleteVeins/Titan, will there be event occurrences happening at some point In time, like something Christmassy at Xmas, or just something special in game to commemorate a milestone? Or a secret area that only opens up at xmas time?
ReplyDeleteWe don't have any plans for something like that. Interesting idea though.
DeleteMaybe i'm the odd man out, but i'd certainly appreciate an update. :P
ReplyDeleteStill working on the bossfight.
DeleteNext update is a bit large. Trying to up our pace and all.
I think I speak for all of us when i say, we really appreciate how much effort you're all putting into this game!
DeletePlease take your time! No Rush! We are Patient!
ReplyDeletestop brown nosing
DeleteStop being impatience!
DeleteJust wanted to let you guys know that no matter how many people tell us to go faster or to take our time, we'll always be working at the same pace.
ReplyDeleteWe have financial incentives to get this out the door as fast as possible and as highest quality as possible.
As the week reaches it's end, the suspense for the update is palpable. Unless by the "next week" you said Saturday, you meant Nov 8 to 15.
ReplyDeleteBro you're touching yourself, that's why its palpable. Take your hand off of that.
ReplyDeleteGranted this an eroge game and so commentary about the hot stuff is common while we wait for the mini-updates (Great job by the way!). That said, mind not making comments about your masturbating and such? Maybe I'm being a bit too sensitive, but it just doesn't sit well for some reason.
ReplyDeleteTrolls tend to exist everywhere
ReplyDeleteTrue, and careful observation of the big-foot confirms it is a brown bear if ya catch my drift.
Delete................................................................
ReplyDeleteIs there a reason the Ulmf thread was taken down?
ReplyDeletesharing beta links maybe?
Deletethe real question is who uploaded the beta?
Deleteand why?
i mean nobody can blame a porn game forum for sharing free downloadable porn games,
Very true Anonymous, nobody can.
ReplyDeleteYeah, whoever uploaded the beta deserves a good kick to the groin. The creators put their trust in us and specifically asked us not to "advertise like that". Heck the beta isn't expensive and it is not an issue of national accessibility. I just hope the rest of us dont get punished for that louse.
DeleteSomeone got bored or possibly tired of waiting and decided to take their anger out by posting the beta to a public forum in protest
ReplyDeleteany breast smother o forced titsuck rape/hostage in the future? :c
ReplyDeletethat is part of the surprise :P
DeleteMost rapes have to do with actual sex though.
But you actually gave me a good idea, thanks! XD
*evil laugh*
oh god i can´t wait *-*
DeleteNot much breast smothering but SG Orange's hostage scene is based on your comment.. since most hostages are kinda actually raped (with the exception of one other MoGi.)
Deleteyea uploading the beta is messed up.
ReplyDeletei wonder what TitanAnteus and Victor going to do about it,
ReplyDeletebut i guess they won't break the game up right?
(hope not that would be really bad shit for everyone who pays for this)
anyway it's been over a month since last progress report is there anything new?
Me and Titan are talking about it but we won't comment on this at this point. Personally I refuse to be affected. I pretend that nothing has happened so that I can do my job as a professional.
DeleteAs far as updates go, we are working on the first Boss. While Titan programs that boss, I'm finishing a new MoGi and a new MoGi rape. Also several new screens are completed. You just need to wait a bit longer ^^;
I suppose if you guys were determined to discover the leak(s), you could program some meaningless number into the game, making some number of copies of the mogi folder where the only difference is that number.
ReplyDeleteThen distribute links to those different versions to the different email addresses. When you discover which link was the leak, separate the people who received that link even further.
Personally, I would be pissed if my own work was already being shared by one of the few people that was in the beta. And probably would spend at least an extra day or two worth of effort to find out who was sharing the link, then discontinue sending it to them.
Its probably to hard for them to figure out who it is with the current delivery method. Also its not exactly only a few people who have the beta... at least 150ish from offbeatr and then whoever bought it later on.
DeleteIt's a good idea; sadly it would mean extra work for them and the louse could still change names and "buy" the game again and re-post it. Plus, they might also have to change the sharing forum that they use. Dunno what they will do, that said, it might be good to find the site of the upload and ask the admins to take it down. Still vying for a groin kick though.
DeleteCan't wait till the Squirrel is added, would have voted for her on Offbeatr, but didn't had paypal, but i guess i lucked out when she got both the rape scene and became an Enemy.
ReplyDeleteI never thought that squirrel would be so popular :P
DeleteI wish all the Mogi's made it in with some new Mogi like HorseGirl.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's a bit early to share this, but Leshy and Orange might make it in the game. But no, no Horsegirl, for the love of ponies!
DeleteLeshy and Orange? Who are they?! I haven't seen images of them.
ReplyDeleteNo horsegirl?! =(
Somewhere around here we had an image of all the MoGi.
DeleteOr simply check here: http://www.ucogi.com/MoGi.html
You should know your way around by now :P
No horsegirl.
DeleteThe downloads page has the MoGi. Just scroll down a bit and you can see the ones that are supposed to be in the game.
OHHH, how could I forget! My mind is too focused on SlimeGirl Black. The more MoGi the better! :)
DeleteI was only suggesting HorseGirl for the second MoGi game. :)
That's if your making a second one.
DeleteSexy squirrel run animation
DeleteVeins, since you got more mogis in, what about the shape-shifting mogi?
DeleteSuccubus the "shape shifting MoGi", most likely will appear in the game.
DeleteAlso, PG Leshy and SG Orange are confirmed, I just designed both of them =)
We decided to add them because they help the game and because everyone wanted more MoGi to appear in the game!
I must agree young padawn, squirrel is sexy, I'm impressed she is able to run with sure big tits :)
DeleteI'm glad that Orange and Leshy are confirmed, but I remember you saying you wanted a snake girl like Lamia. But heck, two more MoGi's is better than one.
DeleteWe added these mogi because we needed them, they serve a purpose in the game. We havent finished important mogi such as SG BLACK! So, adding new mogi when they are not needed is a luxury. Treat this special addition as an exception.
DeleteNOOO! I LOVE SLIME GIRL BLACK!! I understand though, the game needs it. :>
Deletethanks veins! will she really transform in ucogi and alice?
DeleteAt the moment me and Titan have agreed to that, but if is a bit early to confirm it. It will be a challenge to make it happen, so we will cross that bridge when we get there.
DeleteAnd what about ... you know ... my alternate skin ? I though the shape-shafting was fairy, but since it's succub should I have the alternate skin on another mogi ?
DeleteWas that the $400 pledge? If so, then that's only for your copy. The idea behind it was that instead of Amanita or Neko, you could have... let's say Batgirl as sprite art. Of course we dont have license for that character but it would work as a fan-art commission for your copy only.
DeleteNow that I think of it, it sucks to swap a MoGi for another character because then, your copy of the game wont have that MoGi! But I'm sure we can work something out, so I'm open to suggestions. Use the contact form to message me an we will see what we can do ;)
Hmm... checking Offbeatr, it says that the skin was supposed to be unlockable, so yeah someone would get the alt skin as a bonus. Best let's talk this in private.
Deleteit was the 600$ one, the one unlocked for everyone ^^ but yeah, let's talk more in private :)
DeleteOh crap, that includes the sex scene and I have to do 3 of those! I forgot about that! Right now I'm not sure how that would work in the game... I would have to talk to Titan and figure out when and how this skin unlocking works.
DeleteWhat we had in mind was that perhaps after you finish the game, you can play against re-skinned enemies. Super Mario World had something similar, when you finish Star Road, all the coopas turn into Mario heads.
So, we actually have 3 new Monstergirls which they can be anything at all (except licensed characters) but with the movements of the existing MoGi. So, if you want a HorseGirl for example, you need to tell us which of the existing MoGi should be re-skinned. Amanita for example wouldn't be a good fit, but Squirrel might suit better.
If the 3 pledged MoGi fit with the theme, we might consider having some of them in the normal game as well, even as original MoGi, but I have to talk to Titan about this.
Well sent a pm with that idea, tell me what you think :)
DeleteWow, that will be great Veins! I am happy to see you both agreed with the ucogi/alice transformation idea, we are looking forward to it. Thats so exciting!
Deletethe wait for the next update is killing me x_x
ReplyDeletePerhaps this Monday... if everything goes well. I need to make 2 fairly complex sex scenes before I'm done. Titan still programs/tests the Boss fight and a few new screens we designed.
Deletethis boss you are talking about is oak tree girl?
Deleteyup! and her boobs jiggle!
DeleteHer boobs jiggle ? oh, yeah, christmas is near, let's sing together, jiggle boobs, jiggle boobs, jiggle all the way ... :D (the most funny thing here is she's a tree so we can put chrismas decoration on her :D)
DeleteIt's been a while since I came here, I see some good news (new mogis) and some bad news (the leak) well I try to stay optimist and hope that some might want to come support the game after having playing it, but it's sure to be sad to see it leaked like this, anyway, I'm looking forward for the next update that seem very huge, keep the good work Titan and Veins, you have all my support :)
ReplyDeleteWe are so awesome, we got leaked! XD
DeletePiracy can't be avoided... Music and Movie companies have the same problem. Music bands however, make their living from live performances and Movies get paid largely by the theater viewings (cam leaks suck!). This game has only it self to depend on and such actions can really ruin a project, especially if it's in the middle of it's production.
But like I said before, I refuse to be affected negatively. Hoping and wishing is kind of meaningless, so I will do what I know how to do best, keep on working on the game to the best of my abilities. If the leak stops, that would be helpful to our project. If it doesn't stop, then maybe some people out there will appreciate our work and effort and support us anyways.
MoGi Origins is my full time job and it is the best thing that happened to me. The sheer fact is that if this game can support me and Titan, we will make even more games.
Let me finish this reply by kindly ask everyone to stop leaking the Beta. Not a lot of damage has been done. So yeah, if you respect this project, our effort, any of our future games and of course your fellow H-game fans... do the right thing.
I'm not talking to you Dorago! :P
lol
When I first saw the beta leaked I was like WTF! I immediately reported to the devs. I had the chance to get the beta, but then I saw Slime Girl Black appear on my monitor telling me to do the right thing. I obeyed and closed the site, never going to it again.
DeleteIs that what you saw? lol
Deletehttp://picpaste.com/pics/SG_Black-v6aBN6LU.1415820307.jpg
(expires in 7 days)
LOL that's funny, but I'm sure even anakin skywalker would have chosen the right path if it was SG black that said that :)
DeleteIndeed. It was best the best thing that ever happened to me.
DeleteJoin the BLACK side! xD
DeleteOnce you go SG BLACK you never come back :D
DeleteLOL
DeleteAbout Orange and Leshy, they'll just be enemies with no h-scene?
ReplyDeleteOrange = non-adult (yet revealing) hostage
DeleteLeshy = surprise!
=D
DeleteThanks for adding more stuff to the game. :)
DeleteYeah, it's nice of you to add more content :)
DeleteNobody left me any comments about the card games they received.... I hope you guys like them. "No news, good news" they say.
ReplyDeleteAlso there are still a few guys who never game us their details. 3 or 4 games remain to be shipped. Let us know if you are one of those guys.
Well, I told you I received them, and they are cool, yet I haven't had the time to test the MoGi card game, need to find a friend that have the time for that ^^
Deleteand a friend who wont think you are weird
Deletewell, since I was able to convince him to buy MoGi, I doubt he think I'm weird ^^
Deletehaha! the card game is not that weird actually...
Deletenot the card game but the cards
DeleteTo be fair, the art on the cards of MoGi Cardfight had a few people comment on them. Like how every monster is a girl? Why most of them have big boobs? I even had a friend who didn't like the girls with the horns since that friend is religious.
DeleteThe art however is not too adult, it's ecchi (softcore) at best. It doesnt show nudity, not even nipples. I played this game with girls even. Their only problem was that it is a bit heavy on strategy for their taste. But this is what my male friends loved about it.
So, after the first few comments, when you start playing the game and use their abilities, the MoGi really start to have character, much like Pokemon I would guess. That's just my opinion and I can't really be objective since I was the creator of that game and I may be biased, but I laid down the facts as much as I could.
What's up with ucogi forums? A site called hostgator comes up saying it's down.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure but I contacted Calico and hopefully he is trying to fix it.
Deleteare you going to make a post about the "leak"
ReplyDeleteno. if we dont mention it, it might get away, get buried and get lost in the internet. right now, any mention of it... hurts us big time.
DeleteDo you still think you'll update on Monday?
ReplyDeleteNo.. I'm not doe with the sex scenes yet and Titan is a bit behind schedule as well.
Delete(That's why I should keep my mouth shut) T_T
We will update as soon as we can but we will need a few more days.
Woohoo! New update! .... Soon :p
DeleteMy body is ready for the new update, I'm looking forward to be in few days :)
Deletegross...
DeleteMe too
DeleteThere are a few glitches to be fixed before the next release. The boss fight is good but it needs a few improvements as well.
Deletelooking forward to that boss fight, I'm interested to see the mechanics, and of cours the jiggling boobs :D
DeleteAny time prediction at all for update? Not trying to rush you but I'm just so exited!!
ReplyDeleteWe are very close. Titan is fixing the final glitches and tests the boss fight as I make the last sex animation for this update. As a developer I cant promise any solid dates because anything can go wrong and new issues may rise... but I hope we can release the new beta in 2 days.
Delete*Start praying the hentai god so everything goes fine*
Delete-Prays to the monster hentai goddess-
Delete-Prays at the Ucogi Church-
Deleteyou should enter again
ReplyDeleteI am equally anxious and disappointed - like waiting for a heated bus in a snowstorm where the weather network called for warm weather. Although I’m waiting for an erotic game... so it’s slightly weirder than that.
ReplyDeleteI guess we should have split this update into 2 parts.... I'm so stressed, like chasing a rainbow. When I think I'm done, there are 2 more things that surface. Right now... sound effects.. ghhh!
Deletethere will be a lot of play to do, that will be great, but yeah, I guess it's better to go step by step :)
DeleteGood metaphor. I like the idea of thinking about it as date night with a hot partner who keeps things interesting by being spontaneous and teasing the hell out of ya. Good things come to those who enjoy the process and not the outcome. :-)
DeleteThink you'll be able to update today?
ReplyDeleteNot today. I dont know Titans current progress to speak about him but I have some stuff to finish myself and then give them to Titan to add them.. it's a bit of a nightmare.
DeleteI always say to myself "never announce a release date" but then someone comes and asks about a date, I give an estimation and everyone treats that date like a gospel. If you must know, since that announcement we decided to add 2 more MoGi rapes and revamp the menus.
The leak has impact us in a negative way but we try to stay true to our cause. Titan told me the other day not to overwork myself... I refused!
I'm mumbling right arent i?
I dunno about you Victor, but working on the same project so soon after its integrity got violated would be stress-incarnate for most.
DeleteMaybe us eager fans should wait till Monday before posting the next "when is the update question" again, if we are pleasantly surprised awesome, if not, no biggy.
Hey Victor, I don't know how much my words will help, but I'm going to put it this way. Look at the leak in a positive light as influencing more sales. I know it's a pretty crap move that someone uploaded something you've worked hard on, but many people are incredibly hesitant to pay for a working beta. The leak only gives you more exposure. Sure it might temporarily reduce revenue income and isn't entirely fair, I will admit that. I can't fathom what it would be like to have something you pour blood, sweat and tears and hours of labor into stolen in such a manner.
ReplyDeleteOn the flip side, I have seen many comments that have said they intend to fully purchase the game when it is complete, so in this instance, it did make some sales. I know that may not be very much comfort, but I do hope it at least somewhat helps. It is by no means any less of a crap move.
As for you being stress and such over the game, Shigeru from Nintendo said it best, "A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever." This is still true today and will always remain true. The people here, the majority of them, paid for the beta and are anxiously, albeit it, impatiently waiting. They will only be temporarily disappointed because you missed an estimated date, but on the flip side they will be grateful that you did not release a beta update that is constantly crashing and unplayable.
Bobby McFerrin said it best, "Don't worry. Be happy." I know I myself intend to purchase the game when it's fully released. I am patiently waiting for that day. Godspeed, you two and be well. Remember, "Don't worry. Be happy." [whistles as he walks off.]
Leak? What leak? There's no such thing! It's all lies! But if there were a leak... yes it could be a good thing in theory because it may advertise the game... but only if the supposed leak doesn't continue during our next releases.
DeleteThank you for the positive words. :)
hate to say but it might continue still
Delete
