We're separating our Beta Backers into two groups for efficient testing. Group A just got their keys tonight! People are actually playing the game now, ahhh!

I just got my key this morning and now I'm stuck at work waiting so I can go home and play!  I have been SO excited to be able to do this.

Finally got a chance to sit down and try the game out. Still really early on in it and I won't go into any spoilers or anything, but I will say I'm REALLY digging the soundtrack. Really glad I pre-ordered it on vinyl.

I only just came across this via an article on Kotaku, and I can't believe I missed all of the Kickstarting and everything! Big fan of your work since the CYOAs, and I'm looking forward to getting the game in September!

I want to confess something (and I'll delete it if Gaspy, a mod or an admin says disclosing this isn't okay) - the reason I was being annoying about talking up the Kickstarter campaign on the forums way back when was because Gaspy was told by then-GBS-mod Abe that if he mentioned the Kickstarter in his GBS Dropsy thread, 'even a whisper', he would be punished. I was worried that if I ever mentioned it myself outside of Games, Abe would flip out and I wouldn't be the only one in trouble - something like "Kill off Dropsy forever and never use him in anything ever again, on or off the forums, or you're permabanned. LEAVE THESE FORUMS OR WE'LL SHOOT THIS CLOWN"

And they did help me by putting the CYOA on the front page. It was pretty cool in the end.

not one writeup i've seen anywhere has mentioned SA or anything about dropsy's history, but idk if that's an actual editorial decision or just modern "journalism"

We don't need random people going "and this was MADE by a GOON, can you believe it?!", it's totally not necessary. Anyway, haven't really been following development since I wanted to go in fresh, looking forward to the game's release. That's all!

I'm trying to make the bulk of Dropsy's dreamworld in ONE WEEK. I don't only have one week to do it, but it would help to slam out as many of these scenes as possible: https://goo.gl/200xlY Steam here, I'll be on almost all day every day: http://hitbox.tv/dropsy I'm on tonight until midnight EST.

If you've sent me any emails about the beta or backer content I haven't gotten them. I'm not impatient, just paranoid about my stupid-rear end email account.

Got my beta key today in the e-mail. I'll be beta-testing ASAP . @Jay, is it better for you if we report possibly critical bugs (eg. the game won't start, unless...) immediately, or in a batch after we've played for a while? Also, other than unity3d's player.log (in Linux) and the cfg file in the Save folder, are there any other files that would be of use to you for debugging? (and is there a debug mode to run the game?)

The .sav files would be a huge help. Email them to dropsytheclown@gmail when you get a chance to test. And any/all bugs would be helpful to report.BiggerJ posted:If you've sent me any emails about the beta or backer content I haven't gotten them.

Sounds like a preorder through the Humble Bundle widget on the main website, at the bottom, which is $9.99 I believe? Check your Humble Bundle library under purchases: https://www.humblebundle.com/home/purchases That's what I did, and apparently I bought the deluxe edition too, although I don't remember what that is and don't see it on the website anymore, looking forward to being surprised at the end of the month!

I tried sending a reply to your latest message but your mailbox is full, so I'll ask it here: will you be using my real-world character suggestion as well as the dreamworld suggestion? It's okay if you don't.

I need to go on an old PM deleting spree I think. :P Also, I'm gonna make a new thread soon in about a week for when the game comes out.

They're about to play Dropsy over yonder if you want an early look: http://www.twitch.tv/polaris We'll be dropping a few steam keys out too. The version they have is about ~2 weeks old now, which is lightyears to me. It's so much smoother now. Uhhh, might happen at 6:30 EST or so. Right now they're playing Saboteur and are dressed up like animals. Is this what kids do these days? Help. VVV Thanks man. :0) Gaspy Conana fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Aug 21, 2015 |

My friend Joe made it so I wanna do it justice and make it a proper coloring book along with a nice "turn the page at the chime" soundtrack thing. I think they're gonna do one more round of Saboteur and then Dropsy is up: http://www.twitch.tv/polaris

Hopefully Devolver can get that nailed down with whatever terrible service Joyful Noise Recordings has administering that sort of thing.

Hopefully Devolver can get that nailed down with whatever terrible service Joyful Noise Recordings has administering that sort of thing. We've already taken care of it. It had to do with Chris Schlarb's soundtrack bring released on a traditional record label. Thanks for the heads up nonetheless. Ballz posted:Has the Book of Secrets come out yet? I don't remember ever getting anything about it. Nah, I'm still working on it. Originally it was going to be a lore almanac type thing, but I think I want to allow players to discover that stuff. I'm instead making it a series of writings about the different areas and sections of the game, and the reasons for everything. I'll also include my design documents from waaayy waayyy back. The game has changed a ton in the last two years.
