incrediblehark · 11/01/2011, 10:15 AM

WOO! I was worried the game had shipped already, can't wait to get my preordered copy!

shubibiman · 11/01/2011, 10:36 AM

When will the first copies be shipped?

OldRover · 11/01/2011, 02:28 PM

As soon as it's manufactured and the boxes arrive in Illinois. The game will be going off to press as soon as the gold CDRs arrive here at my office, which should be just a couple of days from now. It'll take about a month to manufacture since the company has a lot of orders ahead of ours. That's why I estimate distribution in early December.

Oh, coo.

Sucks about having a long wait. It only took me a little over a week. They would've been a week exactly, but Oops doesn't run on Saturday. :-/

BlackandBlue · 11/02/2011, 05:01 PM

Congrats Rover! That is great news that the game is ready and the covers look beautiful. Can't wait till the game arrives and I'm excited that you extended the pre-order bonus

TheClash603 · 11/02/2011, 09:48 PM

Can't wait, really looking forward to this!

incrediblehark · 11/03/2011, 09:01 AM

It will be a Merry (or Mysterious) Christmas for me this year!

jlued686 · 12/02/2011, 02:06 PM

It's officially early December. Let's keep the hype train rolling!

You know, I almost forgot that I already paid for MSR! I was about to ask how to order a copy, and then I said, "Wait a second..."

Neo Rasa · 12/06/2011, 09:52 AM

I apologize if I missed this skipping through the thread, but is there a way to see if I already pre-ordered or not? I'm PRETTY sure I did?

That's my best guess/idea.

Keith Courage · 12/06/2011, 12:08 PM

This topic confused me at first. Every time I see the letters MSR I think of Metropolis Street Racer(dreamcast)

Send The Old Rover or me a PM with your full name or Pay Pal email and we can check to see if you're on the list.

Tatsujin · 12/08/2011, 12:02 AM

SignOfZeta · 12/13/2011, 07:06 PM

I think "finished" in the sense of this game means that you might have a copy in your hands in the next six months to a year. MSR has its own language.

shubibiman · 12/14/2011, 04:46 AM

Maybe it's only 85% finished and they're waiting until it's 90% finished before they can release it.

Exactly ;)

Don't worry, I'm confident that a tangible item will ship within five years.

Personally, I don't mind waiting. ;)

CrackTiger · 12/14/2011, 10:17 AM

It really is just the final revision of the Spanish text that is left to update.

Here is what the final cover art looks like.

Arjak · 12/14/2011, 12:12 PM

Love the cover art! I did notice that you don't have a Frozen Utopia logo anywhere; deliberate, or mistake? I think it could easily be put in the lower right corner. Without it, something just feels kinda off, like something's missing. I think it's because game companies almost always puts their logo on the cover.

Just a thought.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/14/2011, 12:22 PM

PHOTOSHO...

oh wait.

lol

_Paul · 12/14/2011, 12:35 PM

I think the title logo needs to be a bit bigger.

I thought the same thing until I looked at a couple hundred PCE games. I took into account the composition when covers did and didn't incorporate company logos. If the character art collaged within CD cover dimesions more like I had originally expected, the MS logo would be in the middle and the FU logo would be at the bottom, like it is in the rough mockup I made. I tried putting in the FU logo, but it looks forced and un-PCE cover-like. It would look more in line if this were a modern game cover in which spamming logos is more important than the artwork.

The Frozen Utopia logo is on the back and is balanced in line with similar PCE game packaging.

The MS logo is already bigger than most PCE game cover logos and I actually had to do my best to keep it that large while balanced with the art.

_Paul · 12/14/2011, 05:54 PM

You might need to move the CD Rom logo in a bit, it's very close to the cut edge. If you're having these digitally printed, you stand a good chance of it being chopped into if it stays that close.

If the manufacturer says that their printing isn't very accurate, then I'll reposition them. For now, they're exactly where they appear on PCE games.

theyre using my presser. The template has a cutedge, so just dont put it in there.

Itll be legit.

esteban · 12/14/2011, 09:36 PM

B_T: sorry to bug you. I love the cover you designed. I know you didn't solicit for any comments/suggestions, so forgive me!

IMHO, the only thing I would tweak is the title "Mysterious Song"—it does not clearly stand out from the images. Possible solutions? I think that stroke (outside, black, a few pixels larger than currently shown) might do the trick. It would ruin the nice thin black line outline, though, but the alternatives (like a subtle semi-sharp shadow) may not fit the aesthetic style you were going for.

And/or...shrink the title put it off-center.

I'll stop with the unsolicited comments. I just wanted to give my 2 rubles of advice. Don't hate me! I love all your work ;)

ParanoiaDragon · 12/14/2011, 11:43 PM

The games already done in 2 languages, so, as far as I'm concerned, it's done & ready to go out the door. All I need is some basic english to get by. When I go out to eat, I just say "I need ham, 1 ham please! Please be giving the ham to eating the ham!"
