WTB Mysterious Song

[clackattack]

Trying to find a copy of this around somewhere. No luck with the makers,  from what I understand they're not printing anymore nor do they have anymore to sell. I did just see one come up on ebay, but the seller is gouging that thing at 150$ no way in hell would I would even consider spending that much on a homebrew. Id go to maybe 45-50 since It was a limited print, but that's gonna be about it.

[BlueBMW]

Wow, $150?  Geeze...  I had several copies that I gave away maybe 3 months ago.  Didn't know they were going to be so scarce.  Maybe once rover is settled after his move they'll look into a second print run.

[FiftyQuid]

$150?!  Holy shit.  Mine is a steal at $149 then. 

[DeshDildo]

Man... you're in the same boat as me.  I also want this game.  I have seen the gouging of it on eBay and such.  I am just being patient that either another run will be produced or one will turn up for a decent price.

[Opethian]

yea I got a 2nd copy I raffled it off. fuck the ebay gougers

[MrFulci]

It would make sense to print more, unless the folks behind it are sitting on X amount of copies to flip.

If there is enough demand, might as well print something, again.

Then again, that's the only way some folks will buy, if it is, "LIMITED EDITION".

"Yard-A-Pult", the Mysterious Song stuff. It's like getting rid of car tires, used diapers, magical Chase, etc.

[BlueBMW]

Nah, the guys behind it arent that type.  I know they're quite busy with other things at the moment but maybe eventually they'll be able to get some more copies pressed.

I know, but a, "Yard-A-Pult" for it would be good. Launch them in a parking lot someplace. "Parking-Lot-A-Pult". That has a nice ring.

[clackattack]

Yea maybe I should just shoot the guys over at Frozen Utopia a message about a possible 2nd print..... Any in the meantime, ill sleep on that offer you made me there Quid

[OldRover]

After I make the move to the mainland (next Friday, woohoo), I will give this more consideration. The others have to be on board with the idea as well though.

Hope the move goes well!

If this forum had a "LIKE" button I would press it.

That would be awesome! Please keep us posted on that, I would much rather spend the money in support of the actual creator of the game as opposed to buying second-hand

[shubibiman]

BTW, some friends of mine who pre-ordered the collector edition many years ago -and have paid- are still waiting for their copies.

What's going on ?

[BlueBMW]

Collector edition?  I didnt think it was any different than the regular game except for there were a few extra bonus items that came with it.  Might shoot Keranu a message as I think he was handling some of the orders also.

[shubibiman]

Collector or whatever you call it, some are still waiting for their copies with extras to be shipped. ANd now I read that it sold out ?

[HailingTheThings]

I ordered the "Collector Edition." Waited a while and hadn't received it, so I e-mailed them. Turns out they sent my game to the wrong address or something like that. They corrected it and I got the game later. Maybe this happened to your friends except they didn't contact them?

[NecroPhile]

ANd now I read that it sold out ?

This isn't news at all.  It's been sold out for quite some time, so where were these people like a year ago?

[shubibiman]

They've been e-mailing since the release of the game without any reply from Frozen Utopia. They're gonna send me all the infos about when they paid and when they e-mailed Frozen Utopia.

Well, if it's any consolation I'm interested in buying one. I was just looking last week... only to hit the wall every time I found a link on Google. As I'm sure there are others who haven't gotten it yet who would like to. It looks like a rather good game... I love how you put all the cheesy cut scenes into it.

[synbiosfan]

Just for the record,  mine arrived without any issues way back when.

Send me a message here on the forum with the information.

[shubibiman]

Ok, I'll ask my friend to send me that ;)

[wildo2ne]

I got a good deal on one at cge, only one I saw and it was in the swap meet section

[Ninja16608]

I do have a copy of this game, and for a homebrew it's pretty damn good. The best thing about was how well they sync up the voice to the animation. The rough part is you need to run through the game 3 times to unlock everything :-) much fun. much fun.

[OldRover]

Hey shub, been over a month now and still no word from ya.

Anyway, a second pressing is coming.

[Lochlan]

Anyway, a second pressing is coming.

Wow, that's big news!  What made you guys change your mind?

[jtucci31]

Yay!  I'll keep my eyes peeled for more information on this!

That's great news for those that missed out!

[PixyJunket]

Nice.

[OldRover]

The second pressing was ordered some time ago but it was kept under wraps until the order was completely smoothed out. Looks like we're good to go now, so the sponsor has authorized a pre-order.

It should arrive sometime in late November/early December.

[Lochlan]

What was the catalyst that triggered your reversal?  Originally the website said there would never be a reprint--so clearly you guys went into this deliberately intending NOT to do exactly what you are now doing.

And can you say how many more are being produced?  I'm curious to know what the upper limit is for these sorts of projects.  It took 1 year+ (something like that?) to sell the original 500 (minus copies lost in shipping)--although there does seem to be more interest in the platform lately, and presumably the omgzrare prices on eBay are signalling some additional demand.

[Lochlan]

not trying to sound pissy... but just want to offer an outsider's opinion: rover is not deserving of gougetard-suspicion.

Wha??

I am not suggesting that at all...

Not sure how that came across wrong.  I was just asking what made them change their mind and how many were being produced, there was literally nothing about that intended to label or demonize Rover or Frozen Utopia, a person and group I highly respect.

Edit: I guess maybe the link and directness of my question seemed aggressive or something?  Don't read too much into it, I'm asking because I want to know more about the viability of homebrew in the market and what kind of real numbers can get sold.  That's why I'm asking.  It has nothing to do with gouging.

[OldRover]

The game is still in high demand and someone (I will let him reveal his name if he so chooses to do so) put up the funds for a second pressing as a result. He came to me about it and asked me that if he were to fund a second pressing, would I do it. I said sure. This was about a month or so ago, I believe. A short while later, we started the process of bringing MSR back to press. All the details got ironed out, and here we are now.

EDIT: there are 500 new discs.

Awesome news!  And a big thanks to the original developers and the unnamed good Samaritan that ponied up the dough for another print!

[reno5]

Thanks for this. I pre-ordered a copy !

[OldRover]

Just a quick heads-up... this second run is not exactly the same as the first... it is a slightly upgraded version of the game. There were some minor cosmetic fixes, as well as a couple of major errors fixed that we didn't catch in the beta test. The code was also streamlined in a few places due to my assembler modification. However, nothing new was added and nothing existing was taken out... it is still the same game as it was before.

[Mishran]

So nothing to warrant a second purchase aside from collectard purposes?

What are these major errors you mentioned Rover? I, as well as many others have completed the game without running into any problems, so they would be more or less random occurrences? This, admittedly, is the first I've heard of any problems with the game so if it was mentioned about before, I missed it.

[OldRover]

TBD ran into one of the errors during their review. The other error was an equipment error... something didn't quite work as designed. Neither error manifests in the normal game but in the EX game.

The reason this was put out was because people are still demanding it, not to make people rush out to buy it all over again. If I was interested in making people buy it all over again, I would have overhauled all of the graphics and upgraded it to the Eternal Silence game engine.

[esteban]

Good to hear.

[xcrement5x]

Nice, glad to see that it is coming!  Now to scrape up the extra cash for a copy

[PixyJunket]

I'm going to put in a preorder after the month flips over, thanks for the reprint.

[ctophil]

Sounds good.  I also appreciate the reprint.  I didn't even know the game existed until like a few weeks ago; so I wasn't around during the first print. 

I will surely put in my pre-order in November.

[clackattack]

Awesome news on the reprint! I ended up scoring a copy from our good friend KeithCourage for a good deal I couldnt refuse. Hell, I may still end up pre-ordering a second print copy just to have the 2 versions...

[ChrisBucci]

This is great news!     
In case you want to see some video of the actual game itself, here's a review from last year (special thanks to the Frozen Utopia gang):

[OldRover]

Keeping y'all updated... the master discs arrived in Texas yesterday, so now the process begins as soon as our project is first in the queue. They will be here soon!

[Ayce]

Placed my order and can't wait to check it out.

[thesteve]

wait, 2 versions?

[OldRover]

wait, 2 versions?

Not really... this second pressing just has a couple of bugfixes and minor cosmetic fixes but is otherwise the same game... there's nothing new in it, it's basically just a re-pressing for those who missed out on the first batch.

[monads]

Placed my order and can't wait to check it out.

Same here!  Looking forward to checking this out!
