Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/24/11 02:28 PM

October 29th: The Phoenix Online Party! HUGE announcement coming! With Special Guest Jane Jensen! Q&A with the team! Raffles! And much more!

Quote:

To celebrate the upcoming release–and to reveal some HUGE news–we’re having a live pre-release chat party next weekend! As The Silver Lining builds to its dramatic climax and the Phoenix Online team turns our attention to the future, we wanted to put together something extra special for the fans who have supported us during this long, exciting journey.

So mark your calendars for October 29th at 2:00 PM Eastern. You’ll see the Episode 4 trailer, hear new details about the episode (including the exact date of the early November release date–it’s so close we can taste it!), and be one of the very first people to hear about the commercial game we’ll be announcing on Halloween! That’s right, we’ll be spilling the beans to you–the fans–at the party, before we send out the press release!

Even better: Jane Jensen herself will be there!

We’ll also have special guests Fable Foundry to talk about The Art of Sierra and some other great new projects, and Romano Moleenar, comic artist with prominent work on X-Men, Tomb Raider, and The Darkness–find out at the party how he’s involved with us!

We hope you’ll set aside some time for this once-in-a-lifetime event and join us at the Pre-Release Party, October 29th, 11:00 AM PDT / 2:00 PM EDT/ 8:00 PM GMT/ 9:00 CET on Ustream.

Find out what time the party is where you are Here.

See you all there!

I am also getting the Forbidden Time Zone error.

But this link from their website works for me - http://www.postudios.com/ustream.html. Is it the same thing?

Hi everyone! Can't wait to see you at the party!

And yes, the link in the original blog post was busted--venus has posted the correct one, and I've fixed it on our blog now. Thanks for finding that!!

Oh, and another typo that I fixed, Romano Molenaar is the name of our other special guest. (His last name was spelled wrong before)

Links are fixed now and all is set.

Well, it appears I'm going to miss the party. Everyone's chatting about it, but my stubborn computer keeps telling me it's "Off Air." Can't see or hear anything.

Okay, it's fixed for me now. Looks like other people were having problems, too.

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/29/11 10:18 PM

I've only played the first chapter.

Posted By: Chief

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/29/11 10:25 PM

I did, but a long afternoon. We got two of your question answered, one by Jane Jensen and the other one by the staff of Phoenix Online.

That last part was good because many of them talked about the time they spent with the Phoenix team.

And we got the info on November 6th when the game comes out.

Chief

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/29/11 10:49 PM

Chief, I heard your question answered. Which was the other Gameboomers question?

Posted By: Chief

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/29/11 11:03 PM

Venus, the second one (late in the afternoon) was about the implication of the volunteer staff, but they did not mention it was posted by Chief as they did for the first one for Jane Jensen.

The answer was that many over the years left but all gave their best.

Chief

EDIT: a proper avatar for the game. Nice.

Posted By: venus

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/29/11 11:21 PM

Yes, I heard that question and answer. That's great that a couple of Gameboomers questions made it.

Thanks, I figured it was the appropriate time to update my avatar.

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/29/11 11:56 PM

That's great that the questions were answered. Exciting stuff!

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/30/11 01:01 PM

Thanks everyone for coming! And for sending in some great questions.

And thanks for donating to the kickstarter campaign! It's doing well already, and we're so excited about both that and Episode 4 coming up next week! Some fun links for everyone:

I was on line waiting for the start of it when I got called away and didn't get back in time.

(Grumble grumble bad thoughts!)

Re: Phoenix Online is Having a Party Oct 29th and You’re All Invited! - 10/31/11 02:13 PM

Thanks Chief!

Some more details on the news on the party...

Our big news items were two-fold:

1) Episode 4 will be coming out on Nov. 6th!

2) We also announced our first commercial game! A supernatural adventure game called Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller, we are working with Khaeon Gamestudio and Jane Jensen herself on this one! Erica Reed is a Boston FBI Agent on the hunt for a killer who seems to know about her secret supernatural ability.

I can't afford a cookie donation, I'm in the market for a car, current one's on it last legs (or should that be wheels) and I don't know yet if this computer which I bought with advice from boomers for adventure games is enough for MMORPG Guild Wars 2 (didn't realize at the time that I would get into MMORPGs), but I donated what I could. First in my category but last time I checked there were several others.
