i'm sure there will be steam sales :)

Hehe, yes Templarfreak ;) Sorry, I couldn't resist making a side blow at what kept the internets up today. So much fuzz about a badly shot photo...

Facebook.com

yes the release will definitely be a big update to the early access people. all the little fixes and especially the complete voice over will be in the release update pack! so it's good to wait if you could hold off for so long already :) play it in its full glory!

Hehe ;) Imagine when I first saw that animation glitch ;)

Hehe, thank you so much Sph!nx :)

They were. But it was totally worth it. I just finished a first good mix of all the sounds, music and voice-over and I played the latest nightly build today to see how everything plays together. It's such a great atmosphere and the world came so much more alive with voice-over than it did before. It was a joy to play and had a great atmosphere. We can't wait to release Son of Nor once we finished all the final polishing tasks.

It was totally worth it! I hope we convince critics and that we make a decent amount of profit so we could fund our next game with equal high quality standards! Let's keep our fingers crossed :)

thanks :) yes, +/- a month until the game is done from our end. i don't know if it gets released by our distribution partner right away digitally or if they want to wait until they also produced the packaging and boxes. we will see. let's hope digital release is asap :) from our end it will be ready then. we keep you posted

sure! glad it wokred! :)

PayPal backers should also be in our own backer tool. Have you tried recently? We moved our tool (because we needed to switch domain providers).

No limit yet. Current limit are the areas where there actually IS sand. We'll test the update with players and see what they think. It might be OP and maybe we need to reduce it or make it harder. This was requested so many times that we just had to try. Let's see what comes of it :) Thanks for the comment, I'll have it mentioned in our daily meetings.

Haha :) That's almost touching. Thanks!

THANKS! :) We're all pretty busy with updating pages, sites, replying to email. After the launch is before the launch I guess. Thanks for the wishes. I think so far it's been quite good!

thank you! yeah multiplayer is very cool. technically very demanding syncing all the game actions you can do. but it's a lot of fun!

hehe, sorry. yes, with all the excitement that builds up it's hard to wait but i think if you can manage it, it'll be worth the wait!

Thank you :) I'll pass it to the whole team!

Yes, I think you hear the iterations here. The first example was actually the one that was produced last. We tried first to roughly think of how the character would be, trying different accents if they would fit. But then we realised it sounded very strange as the environment the scene plays in is very loud (very loud wind). So we changed the voice to fit the environment more. It sounds more natural. We're continue to develop it as our goal is to provide an external voice actor with a character description to work with. Describing something on paper is one thing but providing good voice samples I think is a good thing. We'll see :) We have no idea how work with voice actors is going to go down. It's all experimental.

Thanks guys! We're getting close to beta and it's really intense. But we're still thrilled about everything and positive hehe. And we really like the positive energy and vibes we get from our community! Thanks for being awesome and so friendly! ^^

I think he will, at least that's the latest info I got :)

Somehow yes, it would be very funny. On the other hand, this takes you a little out of the game as these statues sometimes really look broken :( We'll see. Hidden Easter Egg mode maybe? :) :)

Thanks shakespub!

Thanks Piemanlives :)

Hehe, yes, guess so. Bigger version jumps are always super buggy with Unity :-S

Hehe, well we wanted to make this totally over the top :) After all, it's not that far fetched. Wasn't Dungeon Keeper for mobile by EA such a time drain? Several hours to cut out a small area and you had to pay to make it go away instantly? ^^ So we were not that far off.

Hehe, yes, a small little detail we added. Austria / Australia so easily overread.

Haha, nice. Yes I carefully thought about wording. Going from
- totally believable to
- lifting eyebrows to
- hae? no. really? to
- IMPOSSIBLE!

It's not easy but it seems to have been a nice one this year :) Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. We're always hard at work for the gamers around the world!

Yep, confirmed in today's meeting. These house boxes are just placeholders for now. Expect something better looking :)

This scene is still pretty early in dev, I think a lot of stuff is still off, but I'll forward your comment to the team Monday. Just to be on the safe side, thanks!

Lol. You're doing a cool Ricardo :)

I think I got it now :) Will try to show it once again when it's my turn to do the dev diary :)
