You're receiving this email because you're investor of
ProjectY at WM's Magical Game Factory.
Very few news sent lately, our appology, in those moments, we tend to focus too much on the games. A big thanks again for your patience!
First, some news about the project.
At the moment, we are still inputing the enemy waves in the levels as well as adding the last features that really will push things beyond anything made before. In the meant time, tallented pixel artists (one even volunteering!) has been continuously improving the sprite's pixel art, for great justice.
Important note about "baptism of fire" that was given to any early investor in the project:
You can check if you are eligible to the baptism of fire by signing-in and looking at this page:
http://www.magicalgamefactory.com/en/fa ... /specials/If you see a green tick near the "baptism of fire", then you're in.
Sorry to spoil the surprise, but it means that your name will show as a enemy in the game (of course, only as an option). By default, it is same as your Magical Game Factory account, truncated to the first 6 uppercase alpha-num.
Eg: Fonzie -> FONZIE
Eg. Rebecca -> REBEC.
Eg. Tim4568 -> TIM45.
However, if you feel to have something different, please tell it on the boards here (Look at the picture above to know the characters you can use!):
http://www.magicalgamefactory.com/en/bo ... 7/?from=30Please do it before the 10th of this month. After that, all gets packed in the game and can't be changed.
Note: This is handled totally separately from your "credit name".
Regarding game name, some people has questioned us about the lack of news regarding the game name or/and preview of the packaging so it's worth mentioning again:
For a small company like us, we can only copyright the game assets, packaging and name, at once, when it is finalized.
It will happen at same time we open preorders to public. Opening preorders will happen only once we are 100% fixed on a release date.
Waiting for copyright doesn't mean we don't work on the packaging: It's almost complete and it's outrageous. You will have a preview of it at the time you will pick your copies.
Other important reminder:1. Please check your "credit name" asap, it will show in the game. To edit it, please go to your account @ WM's Magical Game Factory, there is a "credit name" field for that. You have two weeks left!
2. No new investors can join but you can still invest. As you may know, there are no savings, any additional investment goes straight into polishing the game. Any invested GEMS can be converted into games later-on, so, thanks for your support.
PS: Some reads on the boards mention the "Paris" testing party might be definitively canceled. Don't be so sure! As you know, with tight budget and the team spread around the world, it's hard to gather for a such event, but it should happen anytime a good timing is seen.
PS: Sorry for the lack of French translation of this email, thanks for your understanding.
Best Regards!
WATERMELON TEAM
