Speaking of Twitters (I know they're dangerous because you run into fake ones), this is apparently the Twitter of the artist who did that post 217 picture:

Also, I think I'm going to buy an expensive DSi for the game even though I already have a DS Lite, just so I can have a slightly bigger screen. XD

Haha, that's three now counting Amazon! You must all apologize to me if my initial excitement turns out to be correct. :lol


I've read accounts that ebola made people stumble around sick or something like that, and swine flu made people lie down sick when they got it, so apparently they've decided to add some diseases in even if they're not "concrete objects" in my opinion. :)
What about dysdiadochokinesia?

Jackson, from your avatar you seem to be a 24 fan. Any chance there will be any 24 references? I know no copyrighted stuff, but typing in agent and getting a Jack Bauer like character would be pretty cool, like when you get a Gordon Freeman like character with the crowbar.
A CTU agent should spawn and proceed to choke out all other characters on the screen.

You don't get Gordon Freeman when you write crowbar.

That's just Maxwell wearing a hazmat suit, glasses and a crowbar, which happens to look like someone when paired together. :lol

Jackson, I have a question, how can you guys possibly test this game? With millions of words and almost infinite combination of stuff it seems like an impossible task.

I was going to say, QA should be a bitch for this one.


Agent will obviously spawn an Agent Smith lookalike, not Jack Bauer. :D

You hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability.
Oh, wait. I thought this was that thread about Crysis 2.

Oh dear, this popped in my mind but has probably been answered. Do costumes transfer over levels/save when you quit?

So, final countdown to what? Were you guys finalizing before submission to the publisher or something? :D

Stalking is fun, not creepy! Riiiiiight? >_>

*edit*
Well, you said 5 hours of something. Developer successfully creeped out, now he'll never come to GAF again. COMPLETE SUCCESS! :lol

if the game has a kappa then i don't see why a daruma would be a problem


Haha really? What about others like Oni, Tengu, etc?

I guess a Shojo would be out since no alcohol related things?

Good job, now you made him erase those previous tweets of his and post some sort of "explanation".

Don't worry, Jeff, your secrets are safe with me. But don't think for a second I didn't see that :lol

I know, I was just giving him a hard time. Poor guy. FYI twitter devs, you can protect your updates so only friends can see them, if you're bugged by fans wanting every scrap of game information they can find. :)

Hey Jackson, if you are demoing the game now, whats still left to be done? Are the puzzles, art, and features all done, and just a long bit of Q&A right now?

WOW! I'm serious in saying that I might buy a DSi just for this game. Totally amazing. It makes me wonder how amazing this game could have been though with the LittleBigPlanet engine and physicality of that game.

This to me though is probably the most innovative idea I've heard for a game in years. A game like LittleBigPlanet just made sense in terms of people expecting that one day. This concept for this game never crossed my mind as even being possible. I'm floored.

From the Eurogamer interview:
"We're into the specialist area right now - if you're a palaeontologist and you know some ridiculously obscure kind of dinosaur, that's what we're putting in at the moment, as we've done all the main ones."

This game just blows my mind right out of my head every time I hear about it. If they do what they said they are going to do (and all indications point to that they have), and they can fit it around a fun game, they deserve some kind of crazy Kings of the Universe award or something.


Thats the part I'm wondering about. It looks cool in concept, but it just doesn't look fun.

Have you ever played puzzle games? Do you like the genre of puzzle games?

yeah but the puzzles from the video look so amazingly simple a 5yr old could play it. Will this even be remotely challenging for the older crowd?

There's 220 puzzles. You honestly think they are all going to be as simple as "get the star out of the tree"?

How many different puzzle levels have you seen? I think they've shown only a total of 4-5 in videos out of 220. If you've seen level "1-9" then you would know the difficulty ramps up. I'm guessing you're bad at puzzle games that require logic, so this game will be hard enough for you I'm sure.

Look, I don't know if you had a point in this post, but I only read the first five words, and have decided that they must be indicative of a post that isn't up to snuff. Now, maybe the other words in this post had something to say, but I've only looked at the first four words and made my decision as those.

And thus, another chapter of win was born in this thread.

i wasn't even going to post in this thread until i saw this massive ownage :lol

anyhow, i'll probably re-buy a DS for this game (there are other games i'm interested in too, but this game tipped it over the edge!)
