Hrm, have to see if I can replicate this and record the results, but at one point the snow was replaced with a title saying snow.something

Hmm, I can't wait to try this out.. When it comes out of course.

This looks like an interesting project. I have to wonder though, why wasn't I ever contacted about the use of my song? I don't remember hearing from anyone, and my NG inbox doesn't, either... (although the fact that the version in the project is "slightly higher quality" suggests someone asked me at some point) I understand that I posted it as creative commons, but it's still nice to know when my music gets used. It seems that Ubertoast is the one behind this project, so if that's the case I'd love to hear from you through email: os.obsidiansnow@gmail.com

No worries, just mostly want to know what's going on.

That's really your song obsidian? Then I have to say you are a fantastic musician. I love your song, and really I wonder I could create something as good as that.

I understand you, I have some creative commons songs on the net, and if someone used them I would love to be informed. Just to be glad of hearing that someone likes my work.

Yes, it's really my song. I appreciate your compliments, I'd love to take a listen to some of your work and give you some feedback if you'd like. And actually it's partly a legal reason that I posted there, it shouldn't be an issue though.

Jesus Christ, Uber. You really didn't ask inform Jarvey first? *facepalm*

Anyways, if he did ask you and you missed/forgot it, then it's all good. Either way, the song is pretty awesome and I'm glad you made it in the first place.

Bull.

If you'd like/allow, I could sign up for testing.

This thing is going to be so awesome

I'm so frikin stupid, I can't find the post that says what image size you all wanted. Aside from that, everything is running good on my end.

Is the game available anymore?

Im tired of responding to that question. Read the topic.

POORRRRRRRRRRR QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!

also I gots another idea in the works... best drawn than written so STAY TUNED.

Been working on two images...
The Mall (general area 1)
Background Roughdraft by ~kekon3 on deviantART

The Mall (food court 1)
More VG background blah by ~kekon3 on deviantART

They both look pretty bleh, but thats how most my drafts look before I do any digital bleh. BLEBLERHLAKEJF;P

/me drearly sits there waiting for lines to voice. Then, suddenly remembers he said he'd do some writing.

FFFFFFFFFFF

I look forward to seeing kekon's digital bleh.

Yappy, check out the last updates on the campaign!! (just kidding, don't worry).

For some reason when I think 'digital bleh' I think Charlie sheen

heads up: This week is gonna be a bit busy so I'll have to respond to questions / bug reports Saturday. Just a warning.

kekon, on 28 March 2011 - 10:10 PM, said:

That's not unusual.

Charlie Sheen is a synonym for 'bleh'.

Also, for crack.

Hey Uber, sorry about the lack of feedback from me, I just finished a really huge media assignment so things should be back up to speed now.

Please have a copyright agreement with me before you use my emote ಠ_ಠ

Progress has halted for my own testing. My computer just bit the dust and needs to go in for repairs. I lost everything that was on it minus a few short stories I wrote that I was able to salvage when I saw the end was near. My first, albeit small bug report is in the discussion. 3-4 days to get the shipping box, 10-11 days repair time, 2-3 days return time. So in about two weeks I'll be able to redownload the sim and begin anew...

Volgrand: I'm back and I'm kicking ass! I've got a few things to sort out in the next couple of hours, but from 3 onwards I'll be coding harder than ever!

See you on the IRC...?

send me an email when you are connected and if I am in home I will connect

Yo, Uber. Volgrand and I should reach the end of a couple of dozen pages of detailed pseudocode by the end of the week. It's only a start, but at least you can show us what we're doing wrong.

Can you remind me how we send content to you?

wow, this post is quiet.

So I haven't been here in quite awhile and it's A LOT of reading. What have I missed?

( Just made this account yesterday, sorry )So, is the dating sim done already? If so, where can I play it?

FilipinoKitty, on 29 April 2011 - 05:12 AM, said:

It's not done yet. There's a closed beta and an open alpha, so if you want to scroll back a few pages you should be able to find the latter. That version's a long way from what Uber's tuned it up to now, though.

Oh christ, I could have sworn I updated this, guess I didn't. Well, an update on what's been going on, probably old news to people frequenting the IRC:

First and foremost, the project is on semi-hold for the minute, due to various factors. The main thing here being I have no time as of present, having exams to study for, paperwork to fill in for the government, and generally feeling crappy. Obviously this means I have little time to work on this. However, I say semi-hold because this shares an engine with one of my commercial projects, which I have been upgrading the hell out of when I do have free time. Obvious advantages here are obvious.

Now, a second factor in why I haven't done anything the last couple of months is the fact I have a massive hard-drive crash at the end of March on the drive I had the game stored on. This means I lost almost all assets for the game, including scripts, voices, etc. etc. Luckily I had a backup of the engine [the BCB game has it's own separate drive (10GB of project files, derp)], so all is well and it should be a lot easier for me to get back up to speed next month after my exams. This is also a great opportunity for voice actors and writers - if they weren't happy with something they did before, they can make the changes and resend (not that they couldn't have anyway).

Now, for some other kinda pluggy news - in the next few days (possibly in a week or two) there'll be a game released on my website for about $5 [for BCBers - otherwise $10]. Now, the prime purpose of this is not to line my pockets - some of you might remember I wasn't all that happy about having people help with this for free due to it being a continuing project with lots of work involved. Therefore, any cash generated by that game [which itself has nothing to do with BCB] will be used ONLY to say "thanks bro" to the people who help, and maybe buy them new equipment to help with their roles. Obviously buying it is optional but y'know.

Aaaand in the meantime that's it. Estimated date for full resume: 30th May.

Cheers for the update, Uber. I guess I know what my next gaming purchase is going to be...

I look forward to sending stupidly long Word documents of script to you when you're fully, ah, resumed.

I was planning on playing the Alpha, but the download link is broken...
will that be fixed?

Yeah Boringamus the download link is only sent to the people Uber has chosen to test the game. It won't be open to the public until its well and ready, and when Uber says so.

ALPHA. As in pre-beta, as in the public release.

I'm pretty sure he's taken it down though.

To be honest, it was more of a tech demo than anything. Minimal gameplay, humorously minimal graphics (check the early pages of this thread for screenshots), and all in all not really respective of what it's becoming. Hang on a while, and you'll have a REAL game.

Yappy, on 11 May 2011 - 04:38 PM, said:

Quoted for truth. More than anything, it was to assess compatibility across the spectrum of hardware, and work out kinks in the engine.

Works for me. thanks

Hi there! I was directed over here by Taeshi to offer my vocal services for the dating sim! I'm digging through the thread and I'm having trouble locating if there are any open characters left...any chance someone could throw me a bone?

Commie is voicing everyone. EVERYONE EVER

But all joking aside I'm sure she'd appreciate the workload being lessened.

especially because she's not very fitting for half of them

we just need way more girls bawwww

Oh look a girl posting above me

well you see the thing is i'm terrible also it's weird for the creator to participate in voice-acting for her own thing how obnoxious is that

Yes but you're a girl

Plus who else is qualified to voice an insert than the inserter?

see that is another reason why i would not touch a bcb voice-acting role with a ten foot pole

Hahahah

Can't run away forever, Tater. One day you must embrace it

embrace iiiit

No but seriously you should voice Katie.

(Seriously, you wouldn't go wrong as Jasmine.)

It's not like you don't have enough prepubescent boys among your fans willing to pretend to be girls.

*COUGHCOUGHSUEISTHEINSERTCOUGHCOUGHCOUGH*

Hey, that's right! Jerk should totally be Daisy

He'd be perfect.
