Personally I'm glad you came up with MOTA, though of course I'd have preferred that it not come with all the trouble it brought you LOL.

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi Tom. Well your situation was not merely a preorder problem, but an issue with the hole game, and while certainly a very dire situation and frankly stupid, wasn't what I was thinking of particularly when making the suggestion. When Liam released judgement day. If I remember rightly, he had the game ready to go, had given a release date but literally as he was finalizing the upload, there was a massive flood in his basement which meant he had to completely move all his computer related stuff, reorganize his basement and I believe even get some new hardware in some cases. This all delayed the game by about 3 days I believe. No problem, any reasonable person would've understood, but i'd be willing to bet that if someone had paid money for the game when it didn't appear that! exact day there would be some idiot complaining, heck there were a few complaints at the time I believe and that was after Liam had merely made the announcement. A month on the other hand gives plenty of space, and should avoid these sorts of problems.

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi Dark, Agreed. Giving this community an exact day of release could be dangerous as there could be some unforeseen delays between now and then. It is better to give a general idea like January 2012 which gives the developer a window of 31 days in which to meet the deadline. Releasing sooner than later is not always better, because we want to make sure the game is stable, has been fully tested, and most issues and potential bugs are resolved on the release date. If you give a specific date/time to release and find out at the 11th hour there is a problem your prepaid customers will scream bloody murder if their is a valid delay due to some unforeseen bug or issue that came up at the last moment.

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi Philip, Well, I for one trust you, and would probably be willing to pay for the game as a preorder provided I have the funds to do so myself. With Christmas around the corner I'm not sure how much I'd have to spend right now on a game since I'm saving a little money for Christmas gifts as well as pay the bills, buy food, etc. The only point of disagreement I have with your plan below is you mentioned providing a public demo for preorder customers. I feel if i preorder I should get a license key or something that unlocks a little more content besides just the two levels in the public demo. Content could be the cutscenes, extra levels, but if I'm going to pay for the game I just feel I should get something other than just the public demo everyone else gets. Just my thoughts. Cheers!

Hi Philip, I would totally preorder. Although history of preorders in this community has been a bit rocky, there has been nothing to suggest you personally would scam us. You've developed quite a few really, really awesome games and I have faith that this one is going to be even better. So my answer is yes, most definitely yes. I would preorder. Definitely keep the list posted if you do decide to start accepting preorders, and I'll definitely be one that does. *grin* -Cary -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Philip Bennefall Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 15:24 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders? Hi all, I'm really very happy with the response I received for the game audio demo of Perilous Hearts, and so I wanted to ask the community a question. Would you consider placing a preorder for this game if the possibility was there? I know that the history of game preorders has been rocky in this community, but the difference in my case would be that you would agree to a small contract before ordering that basically would say: 1. You get a slightly discounted rate when you preorder. 2. We give you a definite release date. If the game is not released on this exact date or earlier, within a 24 hour period, you are entitled to a full refund. 3. You would not have any kind of special privilege when it comes to requesting feature x, but I would certainly pay more attention to suggestions from preorder users provided that I personally thought they were good ones. Naturally, if I went down this root I would put up a playable demo of the game at the same time as I made preordering available. This would not include all the cut scenes etc that the finished game will contain and it would still use Sapi, but the game play would stretch as far as level 2 which is where the real demo will also end. The reason I am considering this is because the funds for the game are running out, and so I cannot justify spending a lot more money on it out of my own pocket. But if I had some money from preorders I would be able to invest that to make the game the best it can possibly be. I would very much appreciate feedback on this. Thanks!

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi Philip. I would pre-order Perilous Hearts on one condition. If you have real SAPI with pitch and volume control rather than pre-recorded SAPI clips using Microsoft Sam. I also wouldn't mind if you used your own voice for the cut scenes.

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi Philip. Even though my last preorder, airik the clerric didn't work out particularly well owing to the stupid windows xp bug, I can be certain that perilous hearts will! run without problems sinse it uses bgt which I know is fine. On this basis I'd be happy to preorder myself. However, Might I suggest rather than saying "The game will be out on this day or your money back" you might want to offer something that gives you a litle more lee way in case of flood, fire, crashes or something else. Something like "the game will be out by the end of January 2012 or your money back" picking the month of the game release rather than a day. This covers you in case of accidents of one sort or another and will hopefully prevent all the whiners starting up if an accident does happen. Other than that, I'd hate to see the game not get it's ful attention due to lack of funds, so would be glad to contribute financially with a preorder. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi Philip, I don't have problems with a possible preorder of your game and I know how to deal with SAPI, so even if not all things were spoken by humans, I wouldn't have any problems with that. I'd like to know two things, if you can answer (estimates are ok): 1. How much would the game be? 2. How far are you from a final release (weeks, months)?

Hi Philip, i for one would definitely consider pre-ordering, even more so due to the fact that i'd know i'd be able to give you a little financial help in the process.

Re: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders?
Hi; As someone that's followed your game development since PB games and tarzan junior, I'd be interested in preordering the game if that option aws made available. Have a wonderful day. Sincerely; Shane Davidson -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Philip Bennefall Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 5:24 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Perilous Hearts preorders? Hi all, I'm really very happy with the response I received for the game audio demo of Perilous Hearts, and so I wanted to ask the community a question. Would you consider placing a preorder for this game if the possibility was there? I know that the history of game preorders has been rocky in this community, but the difference in my case would be that you would agree to a small contract before ordering that basically would say: 1. You get a slightly discounted rate when you preorder. 2. We give you a definite release date. If the game is not released on this exact date or earlier, within a 24 hour period, you are entitled to a full refund. 3. You would not have any kind of special privilege when it comes to requesting feature x, but I would certainly pay more attention to suggestions from preorder users provided that I personally thought they were good ones. Naturally, if I went down this root I would put up a playable demo of the game at the same time as I made preordering available. This would not include all the cut scenes etc that the finished game will contain and it would still use Sapi, but the game play would stretch as far as level 2 which is where the real demo will also end. The reason I am considering this is because the funds for the game are running out, and so I cannot justify spending a lot more money on it out of my own pocket. But if I had some money from preorders I would be able to invest that to make the game the best it can possibly be. I would very much appreciate feedback on this. Thanks!
