Why the fuck did someone link to tvtropes. I had been free of that fucking site for months, and now I see it up there in my little window bar, beckoning...

Yah, thats something I wanted to know too, how much do you get for each copy of the game. How much did you make for something like each copy of Drawn to Life?

Let's put it this way, DTL (a million+ selling game) funded Scribblenauts. :D

This may be a bit off topic, but seriously, thank you. Its rare that a team have such a real(read: not sales data) connection with the community, and actually listens...and responds...to concerns, praises, and all around general discussion. I, as well as a ton of neogaf and non-neogaf members alike, really appreciate what you and your team have been doing with us fans. As corny as this sounds, I seriously mean it from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you.

I really dislike the player thing from IGN. I can't even skip to a certain part once it's fully loaded because it fucks up.

Yeah, it's awesome that Jackson is here participating in this thread and being active to any questions or concerns in regards to this game. I also thank him very much for contributing in this thread. It really means a lot.

So did anyone listen to the TWIT podcast last week? Jeff Kannata was there and mentioned Sribblenauts to the others. They weren't paying much attention until he mentioned Post #217! :lol After that they got all riled up and some of them starting saying they really wanted the game. It was great. :D

+1. Very well said, and I agree with everything.

Also, I just bought Drawn to Life a couple days ago based on how highly its regarded here. Havent played it yet, but next weekend is devoted to that and Rhythm Heaven. Cant wait!

We all really appreciate those words man (more than just myself read these posts), it's great to see people really getting behind our work. Makes it all worth it.

About to go to bed (in crunch atm... loooong hours yay! lol)

The funniest thing about that video is when Jeff tells them the premise of Scribblenauts and Leo Laporte says "How do it know?" :lol The guy talks for a living and the idea made his brain freeze so he couldn't even form a proper sentence. That was totally awesome to watch for us. It's a little office meme we use a lot now. :lol

He's probably still so pissed off at Mike Arrington that he can't think straight.

Also, i love the fact that the GAF buzz has helped spread the word to those who just didnt know or care. EVERYONE needs to know about - and then buy - this game.

Mind-blowing concept that seems to be mind-blowingly executed. I cant wait to get my hands on a copy and show it to everyone i know.



Edit- And props to Bork for the thread and to Feep for this:

Feep said:
"So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES."
:lol

The forums at NeoGAF.com, the central nervous system of grassroots gaming buzz, embark on an epic love-in just after midnight, based on early buzz and info about the game. Sample comments: "Ok, game of show, easily." "This game just blows my mind right out of my head every time I hear about it." "The greatest new gaming concept in years." "Game of the Century." Journos at the show, alerted by the NeoGAF buzz, begin making the trek over to the Scribblenauts booth and reporting back to the forums.

It just goes to show, once you appease the finnicky members of GAF, you'll make it big.

Ive never pre-ordered a game in my life, and im probably going to break that rule just to help promote this game.

Also, this is a stretch, but it would be awesome if 5th Cell could find a way to integrate the word "GAF" into the game. Not sure how it would manifest... ill leave that up to the obviously-much-more-creative-than-I-am devs at 5th Cell. :D

It's there already, though we don't know in what form.

So if this game is coming out in the fall... and the first day of fall is September 22, 2009, that means we COULD see this game in as few as
102 days

That seems kind of far, how about 14 weeks 4 days.

Hmm, still a pretty big number.

One last try. 3 months 10 days

That doesn't seem so far away after all. It's only 0.2795 years away...

I don't mind, honestly. This is one of those games where I want as much polish and content as possible, and I am very patient in having to wait a long time to get exactly that.

Also, Jackson, do you/the game/etc. have some sort of blog or twitter I could follow? I feel like Pokemon all over again as I try to add more gaming devs and journalists to my twitter collection.
 
Jackson, I dont know if you are taking request but if you put this I would be inmensely happy and love your company even more (if thats even possible :lol ).

If you write DRAGON you summon this:

If you write SEA DRAGON (or maybe its sea snake) you summon this:

It would be incredibly awesome that if you write SPACE DRAGON you summoned this:

Just like when you write crow bar you can dress as "Gordon Freeman", it would be a great easter egg for the Metroid fans to have Ridley if you type his species and he appears.

Anyway, your game is great and im talking about it to all friends here at Spain, they say its incredible and that if its as good as I say they will buy the game and talk about it to other people.
So I hope you sell a ton.


And BTW, AVATAR GET!

Im stretching it here, but it also would be awesome if you write Zero Suit and Samus appears.

Wtf? You made those yourself?

Can I request a Samus helmet in scribble-style?

The top 2 are in the game already, he did and impressive job of making Ridley and Samus though!

BTW - Later tonight (let's say around 6-7pm PST), I'm going to give GAF a little present in celebration of a great E3!

I think you guys will love it. :D

I draw them taking parts from the Nintendo Power article. Ridley was done with parts drawn and parts of the sea Dragon. Samus was done with the face of the cheerlader (that is THE SAME of Samus :lol ) and then I draw the Zero suit.

I will try doing a Gravity Suit Samus for your avatar ;)

Awesome work!

So much love in this thread! Must be some kind of record here on gaf. :D

A friend of mine expressed interest in the game, but he rarely buy new games. His birthday is in November so I know what I'll be giving him.

Oh god, can't wait.


It just now occurred to me how Scribblenauts will also make the perfect avatar generator. Now I just need to spawn in a penguin with a tophat and monocle.

I somehow doubt my Chandler Rossington will be in the game :(.

My hype for this game has reached critical mass. When it was first announced I thought "whoah neat". When more details came out about how many things you could do I thought "sounds great, will get after price bomba/backlog cleared out". Post-E3, it is now "I FUCKING NEED THIS GAME NAOW!!!!!!!11111"
