New game in progress on the previews page?

New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/03/08 06:06 AM
Is it just me or have I seen a new game in progress on the previews page (not VV3)
? It must have been recently started because the meter is only at 10%. Any thoughts on what it might be?
I'm thiking it either is an FT2 or PT2. VV4 probably won't be started until later on.

I'd rather it were a completely brand new game.
It can't be VV4 yet, so that leaves it to be either something new or a sequel of FT or PT, neither of which I'm that excited about, to be honest. I like them a lot, but I'm not crazy about a sequel to either one.
That said, I don't think they'd do something new when we know they plan sequels to FT and PT.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was VV4. They've had so much feed back from us. They are also gaining more experience in the game.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/03/08 04:11 PM
I'd like a VV4. VV is a series that kind of feeds on itself to produce sequels.
I'm not a terribly huge fan of the Tycoon games, but a new game outside both the Villager and Tycoon series would be welcome.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/03/08 04:45 PM
I hope it is a new game that attracts more people to the LDW games. A VV4 would be great but it's too soon.
Any hints from the head honcho?
Posted by: Jazzo
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/03/08 05:11 PM
I don't think it's VV4, PT2, or FT2. I read somewhere that they are coming out with an entirely new game. I canNOT wait.

Posted by: Lurkily
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/03/08 09:52 PM
I don't think PT or FT are the kinds of games that attract sequels like the VV games do; I really don't see that in the works, myself.
Me? I'm hoping for Alien Tycoon.

I do have to agree I can't see an FT2 or a PT2 like a VV2. I have no clue what LDW is doing, but it will probably be a tycoon, based on the pattern.
Posted by: Tuna Puzzler
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/06/08 03:18 PM
I used to hope that LDW would do some kind of farming tycoon, but lately that genre has exploded, so they wouldn't. Luckily that means there are plenty of great farming games around to keep me amused.
I hope they continue with real-time games.
It's likely to be great, whatever it is. They haven't made a bad game yet.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/07/08 04:37 PM
We learnt that VV3 was coming out when it was at about 60% but we didn't find out the actual 'Secret City' part until it was around 90%.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/07/08 09:43 PM
Here are my thoughts on the subject: I always log on through the VV home page. From that page if you click previews, this new game doesn't show up. You have to go to the LDW home page and click previews to see it. This leads me to think that the new game is either a sequel to FT or PT or (dast we hope?) a new game entirely.

Wow, really!! Do you think it will be isola related like the rest of them? I cant wait!!!
Also, after visiting the PT, FT, and VV websites, the progress bar does not show up on any of them.
Hooray it must be a new game! I would just love to have a peek into their studio right now!!!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/08/08 12:56 AM
Two things are certain:
1) Nobody knows what this new game is
2) It will be good as LDW is making it
I do think it could be VV4 because an official suggestions page is set up already.

That is right!

it's less sure, the official suggestion thread for VV4 was here before VV3 was finished.
It was because they were so much suggestions posted that the moderators had to create that thread to arrange the forum!!

This is actually pretty standard practice with new games; companies can go bankrupt, loose funding, be bought and sold, or perhaps the technical challenges were underestimated and the task became too daunting. If things fall through, nobody wants to have the black mark of having announced something they couldn't make good on.
Most companies don't announce a game that's only 10% complete unless they have a 99% guarantee that they will have the freedom, funding, and expertise to complete it. Also, they usually wait until they have a reliable schedule for completion and release, so that they can market it properly.

The VV3 suggestion thread had been going for a long while and the next game released by LDW was ... Plant Tycoon.

I am just glad that there is something on the preview page with a progress bar.
I have other casual games, but come back to the LDW games more than any. Whatever it is I will probably become addicted to it too.

Given the story line of VV3, I wouldn't surprise if VV4 wasn't already in the works, or altleast being planned out.
Just my opinion.
Posted by: Lurkily
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/08/08 05:40 PM
CFII has stated that they DO plan a VV4, and given that they storyline in VV3 is kind of open-ended, I'm sure they had that part of the story planned even before they finished VV3.
She has also said that they never stated VV4 was their NEXT game, which can be taken either way; either as obfuscation of a direct hit, or as honest dissuasion of a mistaken assumption.

What is this new game,
on which we now dwell?
Is it more of the old ones?
Or does it tell a new tale?
We search and we search,
and send out our pleas,
but we know less than nothing,
and fall to our knees!
Come now King Arthur!
or Barb Lady Fair!
We beg to Queen Carla,
and the rest of the lair!
Give us a hint!
Fill us with glee!
Make us gasp in delight!
And tremble with need!
What is this new game,
on which we now dwell?
Alas we'll not know,
till they're ready to tell.

The maze is easy they already gave us the map. I'm already in the works of making inflatable cooling devices for us to walk on for the lava pit. We need to come hungry for the peach pit. Got to get nose plugs for the armpit along with sharp nails to pinch. Now who is good at cracking safes?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/22/08 02:42 PM
I hope it isn't any kind of tycoon game. VV4 would be awesome. But if it isn't I'll be happy as long as its some kind of thing like Virtual Villagers.
Maybe its an entire new series like Virtual Villagers and they are not telling us what it is because then it woudn't be a surprise.

Aww, I think they would have told us if it was a sequel to a game. They wouldn't let us get THIS excited. Then we would be all super-dooper excited and eager and it would just be a FT2 of PT2, which not all of us are too keen on. (But I would love absolutely WHATEVER ldw makes!

Posted by: arnie
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 07/25/08 02:21 PM
VV3 wasn't announced until it was at about 60% (from memory). LDW had hinted that a third VV game would be produced but never said that it was actually under development until then.
This new game is only at 10%.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 08/01/08 04:05 AM
You know, I've noticed that compared to the games that have been coming out lately, LDW games are pretty innovative and different from the rest. I mean, how many Hidden Object, Dash, Match-3, and Zuma-clone games can you count? Hundreds! They come out every day! And how often do you get something truly different? Hardly ever! I don't see LDW doing a Match-3 clone, do you?
That's why it kind of irritates me that a lot of the suggestions LDW gets for new games are suggestions that would make LDW's games more like the usual games that you can get by the dozens.
There's nothing wrong with those types of games (I like them), but "something different" is better.

Wow, it's great that there is another new game on the works. Would love it if it would be something altogether different than the other games. Oh, but just a dark line and a question mark is so intriguing and frustrating at the same time!

Yeah, Im so antcy to see what the game is. I dont think itll be VV4, because we just got the vv3 a few months back, but i sure hope it is. It might be Pt or FT 2, or a all new game.
For the new game, it would be cool if it was like, a mystery one. Or maybe even a puzzle. Whatever it is, I know ill love it, just from all the other games LDW made so far

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 08/14/08 07:43 PM
Last evening I had an epiphany – the LDW game in production. I will tell you what I saw:
It was strategy game much like the others that you have played EXCEPT; it is based on the life of Babs.
The player needs to management several tasks at one time, including but not limited to: building codes, managing databases, working with others who are not onsite and managing a forum where there are many requests for help, technical issues and just regular chit chat.
You can move Babs from computer to computer in her quest to please everyone before they become impatient. If someone does become impatient; you can see two things happen: a handsome gentleman, Andrew, will appear and zap her chair with his mouse to cause her to loose health and a few seconds of time or a mischievous nymph, Cassandra, will magically renew the patience level of the requestor. Oh and to make things really interesting, Babs will also get visitors at her door. Some of the visitors may bear gifts but others might just consume too much of her time.
Your objective is to keep all the tasks and requests for assistance flowing or risk the appearance of the mean Andrew who takes away health from poor Babs. If you succeed in meeting all the daily tasks, you will advance to the next day.

To the poster above who said they'd be checking the progress every day: I highly, highly highly highly recommend NOT doing that!! OMG...please dont do it. As a matter of fact, even once a week is most likely going to be too often. If you were around back when other games were being put out you'll know what I mean.
Posted by: YaelleG
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 08/16/08 09:16 AM
Tuna Puzzler - You are 100,000,000% correct. Its INSANE how many of the same old, same old same old Hidden object & match 3 garbage games are coming out literally every other day. I cancelled my Big Fish subscription because I think its pathetic.
That being said, if LDW came out with one, I'd probably try it lol. But thats the Only way. I feel the need to shout at the top of my lungs how much I loathe hidden object games - no wait, I like the one or two that I have but EVERY OTHER DAY?! HUNDREDS OF EM?! Oh my gosh. I guess people are buying them otherwise they wouldnt be so popular. But hey, fad weight loss pills are popular too. Doesnt make em good.
I wonder how many times people download games thinking they're one thing then they turn out to be oinkers - I mean HOGs (hidden object games). Because a lot of times when I look at descriptions they have this whole fake plot thing described then you go to the demo or get more info & its - - oh no I'm seriously railing against them aren't I? But mannn....its like here is a fork - find it. In 3,000 different games. Stop the madness.
Posted by: Gamemastr1
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 08/16/08 06:59 PM
...I guess people are buying them otherwise they wouldn't be so popular...
This would be true. I am a hidden objects fan. So let me check my "Games folder... I have:
- Hidden Expedition - Amazon
- Hidden Expedition - Titanic
- Mystery Case Files - Madame Fate
- Mystery Case Files - Ravenhearst
- Mystery Case Files - Huntsville
- Mystery Case Files - Prime Suspects
- Travelogue 360 - Paris
- Abra Academy
Now, I will admit that most of these were only gained because I am getting them at a "Club Members" price. At $20 a pop, that would be $160.00, and I really am not that rich. Actually, there was a long period where I was not getting any hidden object games because they
were all the same. I just recently got the Amazon one because I liked the graphics and that you need some objects in order to find other objects. It is not so much of a hunt and peck game, but they added a small bit of strategy to it. If it wasn't for that, I would still be getting arcade and puzzle games.
I would however get LDW's new game even if it were a hidden object game. I would probably get it if all you did was dig ditches!
I am sure LDW could even make digging ditches intriguing

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 08/17/08 01:04 AM
Really, there are only a very few possibilities; PT2, FT2, and VV4, as well as Bug Tycoon, which is possible since artistic assets exist for it from VV2, (beetle and butterfly collections) so the premise already exists.
Personally, the Tycoon games are not the kind of games that I think work well for Sequels - I highly doubt it will be a Tycoon Sequel. I think it'll either be VV4, BT, or something totally new.
And since we can't guess at what something totally new might be, since there's no evidence for anything at all except the possible BT, any other supposition is a shot in the dark.
I still want Alien Tycoon, though.
EDIT: I guess I should clarify. When I say there are few possibilities, I mean that there are very few possibilities we can realistically predict. If it's not one of those, the chances of us hitting on the answer by chance are slim.
Posted by: Rockmower
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 08/17/08 05:46 AM
I may have said this before, so if I did please forgive me my little "senior moment."
I don't think it's a "sequel" for a couple of reasons: A) It doesn't show as a preview on the VV; PT; or FT screens. It
only shows up on the LDW main page. To the best of my knowledge the other sequels have shown up on the home page for their section. B) Although I do seem to recall somewhere reading about an upcoming sequel to FT, I think it was a sequel for one of the hand held game systems.
Having said that, all I can add is that our beloved King & Queen are notoriously close mouthed about anything they are developing until it is 99.99% completed. This means we could guess; drool and dream till we're blue in the face and still miss by a country mile. I am, however, fairly confident that whatever the wizards at LDW Central are conjuring up, it will rapidly gain widespread popularity amongst us faithful serfs & lieges of the kingdom.
btw,
whatever it is, it now stands at 20% completed.
only 79.99% more and we'll all know what it is or isn't!

Wow! 10% in 15 days is quick work, I think. 20% in 18 days is awesome. Maybe it's a game for handhelds or phones?? They'd be smaller and go more quickly. Any ideas?

7th Aug - 10%

Keep in mind that this percentage may not reflect the time investment expected; more likely it represents the percentage of programming done, and work may speed up or slow down depending on what they're working on, and how much coding each segment of the game requires. I want them to be done quickly,too, but I would advise against expecting the numbers to hold consistently, you may be disappointed if there is more difficult programming ahead.

Indeed. Sometimes it is found that a particular approach just does not work as intended, and a whole edifice of code has to be dismantled and rebuilt again from the ground up.

Exactly. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that the percentage of work completed doesn't necessarily match the time invested; don't be disappointed if progress doesn't match the timetable you imagine.

I think it's going to be out for around end of October or early November - isn't that when the christmas marketing starts for sales? I think it's going up quicker than VV3 or anything happened so that is my prediction - I think the last 10% will be testing and take ages.... but who knows!!
I was scouring the net for other sim games to try and not a lot works properly on an intel mac - so I hope the mac version comes out along side a pc one or I will go mad! It's great that LDW do mac versions and keep their forums going unilke others!!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/03/08 01:34 PM
I'm hoping it's either BT,VV4,PT2,or somthing like IsolaZoo like maybe a game like VV exept it's a zoo with mammals,birds,reptiles,fish and insects from isola and not a village and you'd have to hire people to build enclosers for the animals and things like food courts and play areas for people to keep guests happy. You could buy Isola animals like you buy things in FT and PT and buy plants and toys for their enclosures to make them happier and if you've made them happy enough you can breed them like villagers. You can also make money buy donatian having visitors buy things or selling animals and other things. You could also build animal houses for people to go inside and choose the color and theme like aquatic,jungle,scrub land,or desert and place the animals you want inside. The goal would be to have a five star zoo and have at least four important people{like a Queen or Mayor}visit your zoo and if they like it you might be donated rare animals for free or get alot of $$$! Woah I got a little carried away

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/11/08 11:40 AM
Why is the game a secret? When it was VV3, it told us, and we all went ape! LOL, maybe they think it's better to keep us wondering? But when I knew what game it was I wanted it, so I put my Money on a debit card and set it aside, so I knew I could get it Just as soon as it was available... without telling us what it is, I haven't set any money aside to buy it, I just don't get the secret? Maybe with all our hysteria about VV3, they thought this way was better, regarding this forum, I know we all swamped them and crashed the site a few time's. But I hope they do give us a hint so I can put aside some money to buy it right away if it's a game I like... knowing LDW, I'll Love it!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/11/08 12:06 PM
I think it was a good idea to not tell us because we left CRAZY about VV3. Now i don't really care what game it is. So they were smart. I'm some what wanting to know but not dieing like with VV3.
Though on the page the bar isn't even 40%. So they must divide it by how many updates their going to do and just make them equal parts.

When it was VV3, it told us
VV3 wasn't announced until it was at (from memory) 60% completion.
Posted by: LadyCFII
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/11/08 05:27 PM
You are correct, arnie. You can see Carla's post
here.
These are when the progress bar updates for VV3 were made:
60% January 7, 2008
70% January 27, 2008
Official press release announcing VV3 February 6, 2008
80% March 9, 2008
90% March 13, 2008
95% April 3, 2008
99% April 25, 2008
100% May 14, 2008 (VV3 was released)
As you can see, the progress bar does not move in a linear fashion, and it's not possible to infer from the movement of the bar exactly when the game will be finished. We just like to give everyone
some idea of our progress on a new game, but game development rarely progresses smoothly, as you can see from the dates above.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/14/08 01:04 PM
(just a guess)
Updated version:
08/07/03=10%
08/08/10=20%(38days)
08/08/25=30%(15days)
08/09/11=40%(17days)
Avg 23.33 (I'll count that as 24)
My (Simple) Guess:
around the start of 08/10=50%
around the end of 08/10=60%
middle-late of 08/11=70%
around the middle of 08/12=80%
around the start of 09/01=90%
around the very end of 09/01=GAME DONE(near Chinese new year!!
offtopic:Im going back to china for Chinease new year.)
My other guess:
You can see before its 38 days, but then 15 and 17 days, so 10% (after)should be only 14-20 days. That could make the game released xmas, or new year. But, anything could happen...

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/18/08 03:18 PM
I can anticipate an avalanche of enquiries if the progress bar for the new game reaches 60% and it's not yet announced what it is.
Barbara and Carla: I suggest you only advance the bar to a maximum of 59% unless you're ready to announce the title.

I the producers and programmers can't give you a date, even if they wanted to. Programming take more or less time, depending on what the task is, depending on whether the approach taken is ultimately suitable, and whether different approaches can be woven together.
I don't think there can be accurate predictions where programming time is concerned.

I think the point is . . . she probably doesn't KNOW a release date with certainty, because they don't KNOW when it'll be done.
This also means we'll get it sooner - the game is done when it's done and released when it's done, too, rather than waiting for a release date.
One serious question for Lady C - will it be distributed immediately to the various online vendors? I for one got my introduction via Steam.

In the past new games have been made available first on the LDW site and, under an exclusivity deal, from Big Fish Games. They have been distributed to the other games portals about 3-4 weeks after the initial release. Of course, a different deal may be done for this game, if any is done at all.

Would posting a guess when it have been increased spam the thread?
Probably, in fact more so I'd say as people would have several guesses at different update points. There was a similar thread going when VV3 was announced containing guesses on its release date, and I gave up reading it after a while. There were just too many posts, all of which were based purely on guesswork.
This thread is going the same way. In about ten weeks we've got through 28 pages so far, and the game is still only at 40%.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/23/08 01:05 PM
We love to see the excitement and anticipation in the discussions here, but trying to guess when the game is going to be finished is futile. As I said several pages back in this thread, there is
no way to tell from progress bar updates when the game will be released. We certainly don't want to stop the fun discussion, but posting guesses about release dates again might get the thread locked.
As you can see from the dates below for VV3's progress bar, it has taken anywhere from a few weeks to two months to move 10%. Toward the end, progress slowed tremendously. It's best to celebrate when the bar moves upward and let us do our work on the game!
My earlier post:
These are when the progress bar updates for VV3 were made:
60% January 7, 2008
70% January 27, 2008
Official press release announcing VV3 February 6, 2008
80% March 9, 2008
90% March 13, 2008
95% April 3, 2008
99% April 25, 2008
100% May 14, 2008 (VV3 was released)
As you can see, the progress bar does not move in a linear fashion, and it's not possible to infer from the movement of the bar exactly when the game will be finished. We just like to give everyone
some idea of our progress on a new game, but game development rarely progresses smoothly, as you can see from the dates above.

In concordance with that post, think of programming as writing a large novel. Sometimes a paragraph you wrote just doesn't work, or contradicts something you wrote before, and has to be rewritten. Sometimes an entire chapter leads somewhere you didn't intend. Other times, you take a certain approach and reach a desired conclusion, but it makes another part of the story unworkable, and you have to rewrite several chapters from several subplots of your story. And other times, the words seem like they are begging to crawl off your fingers an onto the page.
The same is true of a computer program; just like a novel, it's got several subplots - a system for villager health, recording it, ways of affecting it, ways of being hurt and healed. That plot has to agree with the plot for skills, where a villager may have an accident in the use of a skill and hurt themselves, or through the use of healing, be cured of sickness. (and stop losing health.) If any one of these subplots refuses to agree, steps may have to be retraced unpredictably so that a complete, coherent, functional story - or computer program - can be written.
Programmer's and author's estimates are wrong most of the time because these things can't be predicted, to the frustration of their publishers.

To me this is a
strong indication that the new game is just that; A
NEW game unrelated to LDW's previous games.

Well, if it did appear on the FT site, say, it would be a pretty heavy hint that it was FT2. Same if it were on the VV site or PT site ...
Until they are ready to announce the the name of the game LDW wouldn't put it up, would they?
Posted by: CaszaGirl16138
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? *DELETED* - 09/27/08 11:34 AM
Yeah. I think it's better if we wait till 60% though because its better to wait until they are confident the game can be completed.
And I don't think it would be vv4 because vv3 was only resead a few months ago and quite a few people haven't actually finished it yet.

Well, I'd think if it was FT2, they'd want to tease their FT fans, who may be familiar with only their FT site. It may be deliberate obfuscation, though I agree.
Oh, my god, I just used 'obfuscation' seriously in a sentence. Misdirection, okay? Goodness, I feel like Webster incarnate.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 09/30/08 07:29 PM
ok, i
might have something to do with this. it's just a hunch, but, one day, i had an idea for a new game. i posted it to ladyCFII, arthur and carla in a pm, below:
my game idea is a puzzle game, where you have to accumalate the required number of points. you can do this by "maching" numbered tiles in a variety of ways (vertically, horizontally, in a square). tiles are arranged in pairs, ranging from 1:2 to 7:8. each match must contain the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8. each match can gain points, and you get more for consecutive matches. on some levels, some matches are not available (don't score points).
then, a few days later, this new game showed up on the previews page, the one we are discussing here (i don't know if it's the game idea mentioned above).

According to the evidence available, it's probably something fresh, but there's always a chance.
Loki, there are always sticky problems when using someone else's idea - if they were going to use your idea, I think you'd have been asked to sign a form or two. EDIT: Also, a lot of work goes into preparing to program a game; we only see the progress done in the programming on the chart, but a lot goes into determining what it is they actually want to create. For example, before writing VV3, I'm sure they knew exactly what they wanted every single puzzle to consist of.
Lastly, what else is there? Bugs have been mentioned, using the VV2 assets. Robot factories, perhaps? But that would only be another form of Virtual Villager. Well, we'll see in due time.

If it's so, then that's so. I'm not familiar with Plant Tycoon. The first occurrence of this idea was mentioned using the bug collection from VV2, which is why I repeat that here.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/03/08 12:05 AM

I was thinking the same thing. There are tons of great bugs in PT. Maybe they'd use both sets. Hmm. I don't know Fish Tycoon very well, but I do know that fish eat a lot of bugs too. Were there any in FT? Flys and worms and all kinds of bugs would have been perfect fish food. There could be something to all this -- but -- can there really be a bug tycoon?? Unless they were being sold for medical research or something very exotic, how many people are going to be buying bugs and for enough to become a tycoon?? Has anyone here ever been to a bug store? I've seen pet stores selling crickets for lizard food, and worms are sold at bait shops, but I don't remember ever seeing much else in bug retail . . . How else could bugs be a feature in a game? Any ideas? I don't really see LDW doing match 3 bugs game or a game of hidden bugs in old mainsions, but I've been wrong before.
Posted by: CaveDweller
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/03/08 12:11 AM
There's a great screen shot in the PT Guides forum with all the bugs. Check it out. It might even inspire you to try the game which I think is terrific. No green thumb needed! Like the Villager games, it requires a little patience sometimes, or frequent checking if you've got it on fast.

No, I don't think so. All the other game sites are in the format of "html://www.ldw.com/GameName.html", not the format of "http://www.GameName.com/". This makes since, because it signifies that they are probably only paying for one domain and one server.
And . . . a lot of things are parked. There are companies that make money simply by parking every name they can think of, so that when someone wants the domain, they already own it, and can sell it to them.

Actually, I've never been to those sites. When linking from the LDW's main page, LDW.com, the link was
http://www.ldw.com/fishtycoon.html or a variant of that. I didn't investigate further than that, so I guess it's my mistake.
Yeah. So the website is
http://www.bugtycoon.comBut there is no game called "Bug Tycoon". So the same website will appear.
I still think Bugtycoon's being parked is not a sound indication. I just looked up several random URLS. Every single plain-english URL I tried to look up was reserved. (I left out several sites that I tried that were already websites.) Two of them were advertising the domain that the page was on as being for sale. Never once during this process did I hit a domain that wasn't registered. Among the URLs I found reserved were:
- randomsite.com
- nonexistent.com
- watchthehair.com
- butterflytycoon.com
- cattycoon.com
- puppytycoon.com
Parking of un-used domain names is just too cheap and too common for me to put much faith in the reservation of the domain name being a hint to what's coming.

Just wait til it get to 99%... in VV3 it was on 99% FOREVER!!!
45% is taking longer than vv3 at 99% apperently LDW is making the game really good game. At least I hope.
Posted by: LadyCFII
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/09/08 01:52 AM
VV3 was at 99% for 3 weeks. The new game has been at 45% for 2 weeks. And how is 2 weeks longer than 3 weeks?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/10/08 05:13 AM
I still want Alien Tycoon, though.
OOO, that's given me a great idea for a game by LDW, ALIEN TYCOON!! lol or something along those lines! lol
What's even worse is, my idea wasn't original either, but I got it from someone else, who I got the impression (I may be wrong) also first heard it somewhere else.
*strokes chin* yes you may be onto something there! Hey, do u wanna rally up a group of people who want alian tycoon and head out to LDW's Secret HQ so we can rally out the front and demand:
1. Hints for this game,
2. Alien Tycoon
lol
Posted by: Lurkily
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/10/08 12:34 PM
No. Because they'll arrest us before they give us hints. However, we can post an Alien-Tycoon petition thread after this game comes out. (And we're sure it ISN'T Alien Tycoon.)

Haven't seen any evidence of fairies around; most magical species seem to be common species with magical attributes. It also just doesn't seem to fit the theme of Isola very well . . . not that aliens fit well, either.

Yes, but if it is Bug Tycoon, that could be fun. People would be writing posts complaining about the bugs, other people would write about how much they like the bugs. It would get really fun when people want LDW to fix the bugs---I don't know what kind of vet would do that.
(For those not familiar... many refer to getting a pet neutered or spayed as getting the pet "fixed")

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/19/08 11:33 PM
Hey Guess what! I'd post a pic but I don't know how. Here's what I have gathered:
the "Light" area could be a groundcover on VV4. OR it could be a plant in PT2. But I DON'T think it's Alien Tycoon (it COULD be).
It's definetly not PT2. Sorry Bowl Wheevil and all the other people who wanted PT2. But it's sure something cool! LDW has never dissapointed.

and I think that it will get closer and closer as it progresses and will be revieled I can't wait
I made an Enlargemant of the green spot in the dark, I still wonder what it will be?
Posted by: Krystal
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/20/08 12:23 AM
This reptile theory is facinating (to me) and I've prepared this example thing:
The red circled part is a patch of grass from VV2 and the other part is un-edited from the preview image. I know it's not a very good match, but the edit kind of messed it up when I tried to fade the edges.
Think what you will, I'm just explaining my idea.

I think Kayy is confused between the word "Previews" (as in

Posted by: Lovelychunks
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/20/08 08:07 AM
I disagree with lechi I think it could still be PT2. Because in the nursery there is grass so it could be a shot from there.

The game is a new game, so it's not PT2, for example.

The only Previews page that shows the new game under development is the one on our main site. Click
here to see it. Our Virtual Villagers, Plant Tycoon, and Fish Tycoon sites all have previews pages, but they don't show the new game.
She means that the new game is not FT2, PT2, or VV4.
Posted by: Lovelychunks
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/20/08 08:39 AM
I don't think that it means it's NOT one of those games. If you really think about it they don't want us to know what it is, If they put it up on let's say the virtual villagers site then we would all know that it was VV4. Suppouse it is VV4,FT2,PT2 then they wouldn't be on their respective sites intill the name was realeased. I think that was true of VV3 wasn't it?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/20/08 09:42 AM
I think LadyCFII gave us the only hint we're likely to get, when she said:

here to see it. Our Virtual Villagers, Plant Tycoon, and Fish Tycoon sites all have previews pages, but they don't show the new game.
To me this is a
strong indication that the new game is just that; A
NEW game unrelated to LDW's previous games.
I read this post and it must be a completely new game.
Posted by: Lovelychunks
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/20/08 10:19 AM
I wouldn't say MUST. Context plays a big role in that post If you go back to that original post you see that someone was confused and thought that the new game was plant tycoon. It is very possibleall that post was meant to be was clarify. I'm not saying that it can't be a new game but Lady never said it wasn't a sequel. It looks like from that preview shot that it's a sequel. I would like it to be vv4 personally. I think a sequel to PT or FT wouldn't be all that fun and i probably wouldn't buy it.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/21/08 11:36 PM
Well, IM guessing like anyone else, its not a part 2-4 of anything
From what i can see, it does look like grass. But im kinda sure its not grass from VV, and its definatly not a fish, (or maybe it could be an eel) And its too much of diff colors in a circle to be a leaf or plant
So im guessing its a diff game. But wat, im not sure of that. Im guessing {again} that maybe it could be a tycoon, or an internet game, like Maplestory, or where you can play as a community, and get scores against others an MMORPG.
Also, it might even be a game where, well im outta ideas, but thats my guess, disagree or agree..

But i'm not sure about it...
Do you remember the VV1??? It was on the eastern shore of Isola,right? Now the VV2 was the discover of a cave that goes to the western shore of Isola,but they're running out of space so on VV3 they gone to the northern shore were they discovered what was once a Secret City! Now if the new game that is in progress is the VV4(and i hope that is it!!

Isola! Don't you think????

A tantalising glimpse of an impending new game,
Yet with no definition and no announced name.

Well, first off, I have no idea what the green patch is on the to-be screenshot of the new game.
Second, I felt the need to compliment LDW about the great idea for revealing a screenshot of the new game. It gives us a lot more to guess about, and we are busy examining every single aspect of the screenshot to bug LDW about getting the new game out sooner.

(But I'm also hoping for VV4)

It gets maddening just staring at a little green spot!!!! maybe at 55% they might add just a little more on there for us to guess at! I hope it is a vv4 or a completely new game. *Fingers crossed*

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/27/08 08:06 PM
Wheeww. I just got done re-reading this entire thread! Whereas our little variegated green spot has many of us speculating on everything from rocks to dinosaurs. Myself included. I suddenly remembered that Isola is a magical place. With magic as a basic foundation, the following logic must apply: Anything is possible.
If anything is possible then should we be limiting our imaginations and speculations on mundane and everyday creatures?
My own theory is based only on color and texture. Further pondering equated reptiles as the most valid possessors of these two qualities.
With magic in the mix, my theory just went down the tubes. Sorry, turtle folks.
Happily, as per Carla's post, we should receive a fresh "peek" into the great unknown sometime around Nov 5. I have the date circled in red on my calendar because right now my curiosity is REALLY piqued!

Ok I dont konow if I am the only one who noticed this but the latest peak shows something on the right of the circle. I dont know what it is for sure, but to me it looks like a face and due to the coloring I would say it is of a statue. This is only a theory and shouldnt be taken as fact.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/27/08 10:11 PM
If you look at the gray bit, it does look like a statue, or even a room of sorts... So maybe it is VV4! It looks like some stonework.

I have been looking at that blown-up image. Could that possibly be the back of a chair/armchair?? The grey bit would be wood and the green would be the upholstery.

I was watching a comercial on t.v. and it had a turtle on it.The turtle shell was the very same shape as the preview was.I thought a turtle shell was perfectly round,but it is not,so it could be a turtle shell.Lailais looks like a island,so it could be VV4.Lets hope so.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/28/08 12:53 PM
It's too much perfectly round to be an Island.
So I think it's a planet!
But, in another way, it moves so slowly (52%, from the 07/02/08 to nowday, that makes near 4 months!)... It could be a...
turtle

Oh Laurence!! You do have the most incredible collection of adorable "smiley's?" I have ever seen!!
But listen!! I went to the previews page and looked at our new piquant peek at 400x....(fans over-heated face)... I swear I saw two creatures looking back at me!!
On the left side was a grey figure with two arms, dressed in a uniform/armor(?), and above two, round, black button eyes was a military shaped cap.
On the bottom there suddenly appeared a head with downcast eyes, no hat but possibly antennae, perched upon a long, slender and graceful neck.
Yes, excitement, astonishment and no breakfast might be contibuting factors to my imagination. I will come back later and look at it again.

The only different thing that I noticed is that it's not in the same place on the pic!!

I feel fairly confident, when I say I doubt it has anything to do with uniforms or armor. LDW prides its self on doing nonviolent themes, and I seriously doubt they would make a game that incorporates any sort of military theme.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/29/08 05:27 PM
Ok, even though I am a Moderator on this site, I am not even privied to what game is being worked on. I am completely and utterly in the dark about it as everyone else. Having said that, I want to offer you a reason as to why I don't think it is a "planet" floating in the abyss of space. I feel we are, and I could be wrong, we are being offered very small hints as to the graphics involved in the new game. This is done by something called
masking.
One way to mask would be like this. When you mask something you start out with the original image.
Then you cut a small portion out of the big picture, leaving it in the same spot it came from.
You turn the original picture black
Then you soften the edge of the little piece you just cut out.
TA-DA!!! Now you have what you see on the preview page. Another way to do this is from the main picture:
You draw a black square over the picture. I draw it bigger than the canvas, or stage. You'll see why in a second.
Then you cut a hole in the black square.
Then you soften the edges. Now, when I save the picture, it will only save what is on the inside of the blue box. That outside edge soften too and I do not want it in my final picture so I keep it outside of the box.
Because I am working with layers, where each piece, or object, is either on top or below the other objects I am working with, I can take my black box with the whole and move it around on top of the original picture, giving you a different, small, sneak peek of the same original image.
Now when I save it, I get this:
So, This is what I think is happening here and that the preview should not be looked at as a whole picture but a look at the original picture, through a hole in a piece of paper.

Especially for the 1st demonstration. It really looks like the pic in the Preview page!
For the 2nd demonstration, I'm very sorry,Gamey but I think it's not a frog but a TURTLE!!!!
(Could you, please, do the same with a turtle wearing the Arthur's sweater?)

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/29/08 07:16 PM
How are we suppose to know what is behind the masked image?
Is the mask suppose to be slightly transparent?
Otherwise are we seeing just the mask instead of the image behind it?
Very curious

Actually, look at this post by LadyCFII.
The only Previews page that shows the new game under development is the one on our main site. Our Virtual Villagers, Plant Tycoon, and Fish Tycoon sites all have previews pages, but they don't show the new game.
So it could actually be either one or none at all.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 10/29/08 11:04 PM
Will Gamey that explains every thing and it remines me of something I saw on tv guess what the object is and then the camara moves slowly away ie a needle is revieled or a button hole, so same princeble, so what they are showing is a small spot and then on the same pic another part of the same pic, so am I right.

LOL casza! You are probably right!
Grow new grass, discover the secret ground of isola. Cross pollinate grasses to create new grass! Destroy the evil weeds of Isola, while restoring the magic to Isolas magic grounds. Set insects free in your grass-jungle and watch it thrive! Make sure your grass isnt flooded, make sure there isnt a drought that dries out your grass. Dont let the villagers pee on your garden!
LOL
That could actually become a real game, if it had the right makers.

Thats a pretty good idea. You could do the architecture and interior designing :D. You could make double storey and different shaped huts - maybe even ones that float on water, and decorate the inside with pots, flowers, shells and coral! Then you could upload them to virtual villagers and see the villagers use them!

Hmm...I think the game is probably related to Isola. The grass in the previews picture looks very much like the grass in Virtual Villagers. All the Virtual Villager games were drawn by the same guy, so if this is the same guy who draws it - maybe it IS VV4!!
I probably don't make ANY sense here, do I?

I would love for someone to paste the pics too !
I hope it is either a new game or VV4 !!!!!!!
PT and FT were never my favs, but some people do like them.
So they would be happy .
P.S. i just saw the above post, thanks !!!

I combined all three images into one. I was extremely careful to keep the spots in their original places, though I lost the edging on it in a couple spots.

The corner looks like it might be a rail for PT on the sale screen. Who knows *shrugs*

The only difference i see is its not green anymore.It is white,gray,and black.Could be a turtle.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/04/08 05:46 AM
Curiouser and Curiouser. Don't think it could be VV4 though. It still isn't on the previews page for VV, FT or PT, so maybe a new game?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/04/08 06:49 AM
i think its somethling on a beach maybe some algae on a beach? look at the stones in the picture. It does look possible!
what do you guys think?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/04/08 06:53 AM
If it were a farm-type game, the white/gray stuff could be the wool of a sheep, or a white gravel driveway.
Like somebody else also said, it could be the pebbles from the bottom of the tank, but what puzzles me is why would there be grass in a fish tank as well?
On the other hand, the white could just be a border...
And like Kayy said about it being based on a beach, I am also thinking that the white could be turtle eggs! Or maybe even a dinosaur egg, judging by the rough texture.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/05/08 09:02 AM
How come theres 5% to go until they reveal what it is? Did they mention it somewhere or is it a guess based on what the percentage was when VV3 was announced?

Posted by: arnie
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/05/08 01:25 PM
I think you'll find that Barbara said that VV3 was announced when it was 60% ready. She
didn't say that the new game's name would be announced when it reaches 60%.
Since LDW are releasing the "teaser" screenshots, which is a new departure, there's no reason to suppose they should follow the same procedure as last time. That said, I don't mind if I'm proved wrong and the new game is announced at 60%.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/05/08 05:30 PM
Nope. I got it. It is going to be "Moon Tycoon" The first few clips were taken from inside the Biosphere and this last one is out on the moon surface.
Here is my rendition of the new game extrapolated from the single spot on the preview.
THIS IS
NOT TO BE TAKEN AS A SERIOUS PREVIEW OF THE NEW GAME!!!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/06/08 07:41 AM
I wonder if it's possible that those three images are not from the same picture? PT and FT all had single-screens - you could see everything there was to see without having to scroll around. But all the VV games have MUCH larger maps. What's to say the 600x600 square for image 1 is the SAME 600x600 square from image 2 and image 3?
lol - I don't REALLY think that's the case, but it gives you something else to consider, and confuses the issue just a little more.
Am I right in saying there were so many suggestions for VV3 when it was being made that there was plenty left over for VV4? And what better time to make VV4 than when all the little coding tips, tricks and gotchas are fresh in their minds from VV3?
I like all of the games, but I'd kinda like it to be a VV4 or something along the same lines, because I like the additional puzzles that need to be solved, rather than just watching grass, or fish, or moon rocks grow
Posted by: knksmiles
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/06/08 04:47 PM
Good point slh. It doesn't say that it is the same screen either, though all of LDW's games have multiple screens. What if the different spots are on different screens?

Several other people saw that, too, but it's the result of a mistake putting that last preview together. That extra stuff on the edges isn't in the new game. There is now a correct preview image posted on our Previews page.

Actually, on thinking on it it's possible that the progress bar on the Previews page won't ever reach 100%. When it gets that far it'll be finished so won't be a preview any more.

should there be a blank picture with a file not found symbol for 65%?
Where has it gone!

Does this mean that the blank page will be replaced with a title once the art is done?

Um... Gamey there is a Moon Tycoon. I own it. You live on the moon or some space rock that's not the earth and you mine, convert engry and build tourist sites. You make a settlement on your rock.
Also, I just want to point out that VVs on
Isola, FT on
Isola and um oh yea
PT on Isola.
Edit: And um... they're at
65% I don't think they can change it now.

Kinda like Escape from Paradise? I didnt like that game, but you could make yourself and live in the "village".
Besides, i dont think that would work cause ppl die in VV so youd have to keep recreating yourself

Wouldn't it be disappointing if the game ended up being a palm pilot game.
I think maybe its plant tycoon 2. I mean, it has grass, pebbles, and a blue thing which could be a decorative object or a plant container, or even a diving board!

This really is exiting! If it is a sequel I should say it ought to be Fish Tycoon. After all, there are already 3 VV's and Plant Tycoon is newer.....
I hope I'm right! I'm replaying FT right now and I really would love a sequel.

All she said( which was a reply to someone who was having issues finding the previews page) was that the preview page for the game was currently only on the ldw main site none of the game sites. Which would make sense because if they posted the preview on one of the game sites then we would know what the game was before they announced the title.

My observations about the new spot:
1. Hm...very strange. The line between the light bluish and the dark bluish sections of the new spot appears to be completely straight.
2. In my opinion, it seems too straight to be a line between a sandbar and an ocean.
3. I think that the line in the new spot must be part of something man-made.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/24/08 06:36 PM
Ok...
So I was really hyped with this new game 2... for a couple of months. Every Day I got up in 6:00 AM to check if there was any progress. But I had no luck, so I decided to let it flow.
Hey come on, it HAS to come out someday (continues to hold a stick with a thread & cheese in front of new game's mouse hole)
So I missed the second hint I know the grass 1, & I saw the blue 1, but in the middle "!?!?!!".
But for all the guys hyped about it being a VV4 I'm sorry but its kinda like fat chance. I mean even if they did do it & it DID came out every one is gonna rush 2 buy it, & complete the puzzles in a matter of days.
You see that isn't good couse even if they do make new VV's every month (LoL. Paradise) 1st Its gonna be like a good American movie with 2 many sequels, 2nd The game devoliper would probably stress out, from all the hard work & 3rD they would eventually start to be .... not so good. Because they gotta think about the new puzzles & stuff at least 3-4 months or else it will start being repetitive.
LoL I over commented in this site 2

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/25/08 08:33 PM
Depending upon which browser you're using, you may not see the percentage. Firefox is, for some reason, not reliably displaying the percentage. Internet Explorer and Safari, for example, work fine.
As for the preview image, what there is to see is a big black square with a small area of a screen shot revealed.

Posted by: SnakesRock
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 11/26/08 05:13 AM
Well, theres no exact way to know when the game will come out (as far as I know), but we can predict according to when LDW started working on the new game, and how long other games in the past have taken.
Also, the only game release that I was here for was VV3, and I think we got the name at 60 percent. At what percent did we get the names for other games like VV2 and Plant Tycoon? Maybe there are other cases where the name of the game has been released after 60%.
P.S. Please correct me if I made any mistakes.

I'm already in that program.
Step 1: log onto internet
Step 2: go to LDW.com
Step 3: go check the status on the Previews Page
Step 4: go to the forums to talk about the status on the Previews Page
Step 5: go back to look at the status again after reading someone's theory about what they see in the image
Step 6: go back to forums to reply to their theory
Step 7: do a Google search for LDW, "new game", "bug tycoon", etc to see if anything has leaked out
Step 8: go back to Previews Page to see if it has changed
Step 9: go back to forums to see if anyone has new ideas
Step 10: one last check of Previews Page, just in case it updated
Step 11: log off internet for the night---go to bed
Step 12: wake up and start over at Step 1

More observations about the preview:
From looking at the posts, I believe that we got the most recent clue around 8 days ago.
Post from Carla in October 28:
Not months,noooo... should be every 2 weeks or similar.
We should get another peek at the new game in around 6 days.

It's only in IE7.
I use Firefox with a tab extension (TabMixPlus? - I can't remember, I'm at work at the moment) set so whenever I open it it always loads the half-dozen sites Ive named. I don't have the previews page set as one, but the LDW forum is!

From what I saw it was not well done..the people are expressionless, they wear odd clothes...one female was in a '50's-style housedress!

From the way I read it, the current game that is at 70% is NOT VV4. It is something new. The preview page suggests that they are just doing preliminary work on VV4 and that it will be released LATER in 2009.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/07/08 03:00 AM
It means quarter one so that means the first three months of 09. So by March 2009.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/07/08 04:24 AM
Ok, I'm sort of confused, is there going to be two games released soon? Which game is going to come first, VV4 or the new game?
Posted by: slh
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/07/08 04:50 AM
The new game will be released by the end of March 2009. VV4 is in early stages and has no release date. I imagine it'll be sometime in 2009 - probably not by the end of March.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/07/08 03:52 PM
Just so everyone's excitement doesn't create misunderstanding, 1Q 2009 means sometime during the 1st quarter, which extends from 1/1/09 to 3/31/09. And that's if nothing happens to delay the game.
As for VV4, when the time is right there will be screen shots and a progress meter. For now, the new game has the spotlight.
Posted by: SnakesRock
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/07/08 05:04 PM
Ok, thanks for the explanation Lady, I was a bit confused. But, do you have a date for releasing the new game's title to us yet?
we cannot disclose the title yet because the title art is not done.

But you must admit that the preview page and the "delay" in posting info has helped keep the excitement going -- there might be some cases of "explosion from over-anxiety over new game" if the thread gets much longer

Patience is a very important virtue for the LDW gamers
It's very important when playing LDW games, as well, so you'd expect LDW fans to have more patience than some others. All the games rely on the passage of time (usually several days) to evolve and for the player to make any progress. Those who want instant results should try a different games company.
Posted by: Annthewhofan
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/08/08 07:31 PM
Yes I agree patience importent and I still just started my 5th one and in the last one out, so I still need free time for the next several months to get through the one and playing now before I can start a very new game, otherwise my villagers would have to wait a long time before I can look after them.

Wasn't Q a Star Trek character on Next Generation? Maybe they are doing a series of space games. The first is Q1, the next Q2, etc. Then then just add the year of release for fun. Saves the trouble of coming up with names.
I wonder if Isola will be the home world for the game "Q1 2009" or if that will be a culture that Q interacts with....

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/09/08 05:34 PM
Not really; usually VV games are called "Virtual Villagers: something something something" not just the number, which we use here as shorthand for the full title.
As mentioned, it's really the name of the new game that everyone's excited about.

The green thing is the carpet on the floor, the white thing is the glass, possibly a part of the window or fish tank, the grey thing is the concrete ground, the yellow spot may be the sands inside the tanks.
What are they selling is a mystery.
My guess, maybe Turtle Tycoon?

that could be the edge of a pool or swimming-pool, I think it could be in a zoological park or in a garden!!

I've layered them in the past, this newest one hasn't been added, but I'm on a different computer so I can't add it!
I was just thinking, I may have mentioned this before, I'm not sure, but the circle of two shades of blue kind of looks like ice next to water... hey! Maybe it's Polar Tycoon (or something)!

I've said this before, I think it's the line between the light blue and dark blue places is too straight to be anything natural. I think it MUST be a man-made thing.

Like for Plant Tycoon, some could be from inside the greenhouse and some from the store.

PrettyKitty, a Quarter (in this context) is 1/4 of a year. A year is 12 months, so each quarter is 3 months. The first quarter of a year runs from January 1st to March 31st.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/28/08 10:28 PM
yes the beta testing is possible but they have to play and beat the game to launch it to test bug defects and glitches (i think i spelled that right) after that since i think they use linux they have to convert it in to windows and mac but that is what i think....
Posted by: arnie
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/29/08 12:36 AM
If we take other games as an example, the beta testing won't start until the game's at least 95% ready.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/29/08 07:08 PM
Not ON the first quarter, IN the first quarter. 1/4 of 12 months is 3 months, so... Jan/Feb/Mar. Within the first three months if all goes well.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/29/08 07:08 PM
I think Carla or LadyCFII said the 1st quarter of 2009 is around the end of March.
(If I'm wrong,please correct me!)
Posted by: QuickStorm
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 12/30/08 12:01 AM
First Quarter -- January, February, March
Second Quarter -- April, May, June
Third Quarter -- July, August, September
Fourth Quarter -- October, November, December
The above is based on a calendar year; if it is based on a fiscal year, one would need to know when the fiscal year starts.
For example, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's and many other governments start their fiscal year on July 1. Thus, the first quarter would be: July, August, September and so on.
For the younger forum members, remember this because you'll need it later on for different classes.

Posted by: LadyCFII
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/04/09 08:53 PM
Sorry, soccerluva22, but you need to be at least 18 years old and sign a legal agreement (called a Non-disclosure Agreement) in order to beta test for us. Beta testing is very serious stuff, and we have to be careful about who is given access to unreleased games.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/06/09 11:09 PM
No, not really. I really would wait until you meet all the requirements BEFORE submitting your name. I have a feeling that the list is vast, meaning there are many people on it. I am not saying don't apply but I am sure it will get overlooked, or maybe deleted until you are old enough to do testing. The age thing is more for legal reasons than anything else.
Posted by: LadyCFII
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/07/09 12:11 AM
When you send in a beta test application, you also certify that you are at least 18 years old. The application constitutes a digital signature of the Non-disclosure Agreement. Since people under 18 years of age can't legally sign the agreement, the application isn't valid.

Keep it coming. No, the begging is just for my benefit. It's coming for PPC.
Arthur
And this post:
I've seen him respond to begging before; maybe he might give us another hint if we all started begging?!?
These post are a little old, two are from 2004 and the other is from 2005, so I don't know if they are still in effect.

Yes, Arthur has become almost completely resistant to begging these days!
And, Havetia, you'll note that there is no LPP for Pocket PC, so the begging didn't work, despite Arthur's post.

I too would be resilient in keeping a secret, if I even knew the answer to the secret, which I don't.
(That is to the secret keepers for not sharing with me)But if I were a secret keeper and not a secret seeker, I
MAY be swayed by, ummm... M&M's

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/16/09 06:19 PM

I've been wondering this for a long time and no one seemed to give the right answer. They probably thought I meant something else.
Posted by: Krystal
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/16/09 08:26 PM
Yeah, that's interesting... the most crucial portion of the question isn't being answered. We know that all the circles are from the same image (the "black square" for now), but what we want to know is if the circles are in the right place on the black square.
Posted by: LadyCFII
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/16/09 08:30 PM
The underlying image is the same in every preview image (as Carla stated earlier). The "hole" in the black "cover" moves to different places on the image. Is that the answer that everyone is looking for?
Posted by: Krystal
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/16/09 09:25 PM
Close, but I don't think that's exactly it. From what you're saying, (and what I'm inferring, I guess), the circles are in the correct placement on the square. So, we've found the answer anyway!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/16/09 09:52 PM
I think it's all in how you look at it, Krystal. If you had a black cover with a hole in it and put it over a fixed image, as you moved the hole around, you'd see different parts of the underlying image. That's what's being done here.
Posted by: Krystal
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/16/09 10:33 PM
Okay, that's our answer then.
(I'd try to explain the question further, but I'll just drop it here.)

Snow Tycoon would be fun. LDW should have some kind of photo-guess contest and the most creative wins some sort of prize.
I think Snow Tycoon would be winning so far!

Posted by: Zaboo
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/18/09 12:02 PM
Snow Tyccon will be great. But if it is Snow Tycoon then how do we go about playing it. Maybe the game is like Virtual Villagers. But instead of taking care of the villagers, we take care of polar bears. We can also give the polar bears names. And instead of building huts, we can build igloos. How thats sound.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/18/09 05:43 PM
I'm guessing we are discussing the new one. VV4 would have to take place on Isola.I whipped the pic above in about an hour. I couldn't even begin to make a pic for VV4 and give it any justice.
I am good but I am not THAT good.
Besides, now that I am think about it, the preview pic is for the new game.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/18/09 08:38 PM
But it can't be snow tycoon because the green,grass, they showed us. Unless its like Southern Canada when the frost melts and grass grows during the summer.

BUT we cannot disclose the title yet because the title art is not done. As soon as we have it ready, we will disclose the title. Won't be tooooo long
Hmm, isn't that interesting. Note: she said that November 18. (It's on page 66 of this topic if you don't believe me)

You are right Majick! It prbably is Household Tycoon/Family Tycoon

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/28/09 11:04 AM
The game should be something releted to toilets as there is a toilet roll in the picture. I think it is really toilet tycoon. That is closest guess I can made!
Posted by: Zaboo
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/28/09 11:17 AM
No... I am sorry. It should not be toliet tycoon. I think it should be Household tycoon/family tycoon.

I think the bottom-right dot is part of the bathroom....before I thought it was a wave in the water but it is definately connected to the newest shot.
What does toilets have to do with turtles? Toilet training turtle tycoon...could it be?
If not...I'm stumped

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/29/09 11:20 AM
I think the game is a life-simulating game. Did you realize that the game for PC and Mac are all life simulating. Examples are: Fish Tycoon, Plant Tycoon and Virtual Villagers. So my advice to all those people who are posting their views under this topic, think only about life simulating game and not other kinds of game. I think most of you are right. It should be household tycoon. Maybe the game is like Nanny Mania where the maid has to clean up the house whenever the family member mess the house up.

In the page 119, Kenneth answer to this question!
I think I know why there is a roll of toilet paper in the picture. Maybe in bird or turtle tycoon , we have to take care of birds and turtles. Maybe the roll of toilet paper is to clear the birds or turtles droppings.
I think he's right!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/29/09 09:37 PM
Maybe it's Plumbing Tycoon. Judging by the amount of money we have to pay plumbers, it's a good way to get rich.
Joke I heard: A doctor has a small flood and calls the plumber, who takes a look and says "That'll be £600 deposit, please." "How can you charge that much for a small job?" asks the doctor, "I don't earn anything like that as a doctor." "Neither did I when I was a doctor." says the plumber.

Off topic but I have to laugh when someone posts a page number. Someone said page 119, I'm looking at my pages on this thread and it is only 62. Aaah, I remember, my preferences are not set at the default of 10 posts per page.
It would be more advantageous to put the post number; the one by Shellshock is 182615.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 01/31/09 12:04 AM
I just realised that it is two games in progress the one at the top is new and the 2 below is VV4. I got mixed up with the two games
I was thinking that it could be hotel tycoon and the one that looks like a bathroom as it shows a toilet roll, so therefore could be a bathroom. I can just imagin little villagers paying for rooms at a hotel reception, like they do in fish tycoon or plant tycoon. Or something intirly different.

I don't really know what the underlying pic is but Barbara said:
I think it's all in how you look at it, Krystal. If you had a black cover with a hole in it and put it over a fixed image, as you moved the hole around, you'd see different parts of the underlying image. That's what's being done here.
Still a great mystery

ok...its been about a year since ive posted, so please forgive me if im repeating what someone else has said!
these are just idle thoughts but -looking at the preview page..they describe the new game as a "Last Day of Work" blah blah...beneath, VV4 is not in inverted commas..stay with me! Maybe its a game about the last day of work and what you choose to do after.
On the screen shots, the little pics dont appear in proportion to me, so maybe they are 'click on' choices of where you would like to go or do as apposed to an actual play page?

Every game is different. The decision about when to release information is a complicated one that depends on many factors. VV2's title was released when the game was over 90% complete. VV3's title was announced earlier than that, when the game was around 80%. Carla has said that the title of the new game would be announced soon, and it will be (and it's not LDW Tycoon!).

Probably is a tycoon game, but I would it to be something very different as it did say an intirely brand new game.
This is exactly what I was just thinking, by the looks of the new dot, it could be an LDW Fishing Game, or something like that!!
The wood in the new dot has confused me, so i think i'll wait until the next dot to have any more guesses on what the game could be!
P.S. I thought of a fishing game cos I went fishing today, lol. (and got really sunburnt) rofl.

{{drdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdr.....}}
Also, If you read Carla's statement word for word:
We are announcing the title after this weekend
Carla didn't specify this would be made Monday or any other specific day. Just "after this weekend". So don't be upset if it is still a week or 2 before we know. Afterall... 1-2 weeks is still "after this weekend"

After the weekend is:
Sunday, Monday, etc.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/07/09 07:59 PM
Well, here in the US, most places define the weekend as Saturday and Sunday, so "after the weekend" would be no earlier than Monday.

Yeah, this might be the new game because for VV we're asking for children to interact with their family's more.
Also those of us who wanted snow tycoon, me included, the families might have to live through Alaskain frigid winters and Florida's melting summer as seasons.

I can just imagine what some of the domestic catastrophes might be.....washing machine break down, cat stuck up a tree, toilet overflows, chicken pox, power-outage....
My eldest daughter swears by her Sims games and now my most favorite developers are coming out with a real time Isolan version of their own. I'm just too excited and thrilled to speculate any more. I will wait patiently and scan the progress bar weekly until it hits 99%.....

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/11/09 06:52 AM
I'm sorry to go against the flow, but this game sounds like a VV-meets-Sims, and to me, The Sims was one of the most BORING games I've ever seen.
I'm really disappointed, and I guess this means I'll pass on Virtual Families and wait for VV4 instead.
My husband, though, will probably like it - he loved The Sims.
I hope you all really enjoy it when it's released. It's just not my cup of tea.

Maybe you'll try the hour demo and decide that you like the game. LDW has always been listening and answering their fans and maybe LDW worked the game so that it appeals to the VV followers.
For the Sims haters, don't make a judgement yet. Try the demo and read what others have to say first. Sometimes you don't know if you like something until you try it.

after looking at the links that Arnie posted, I'm not sure that I'd like the Sims too. It's too much "real" for a game, for me!
But, even if I don't know what will be the story and the challenges of the Virtual Family, I'm confident in the LDW team and I think that they will not copy or imitate an existing game!! Or it's a topsy-turvy!!
Posted by: arnie
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/11/09 05:34 PM
I'm not really a regular gamer. In fact, I'm not really sure what possessed me to click on an advert for VV1, thus getting me hooked on the VV series.
I was given The Sims (version 1) as a present some time ago, and quite enjoyed playing it for a while. However, being excessively clumsy, I managed to break the CD when taking it from its jewel case, and the game won't run without a CD in the drive. I expect I could get a replacement but I've never bothered enquiring. I've also considered buying The Sims 2, or possibly even version 3 when it comes out later in the year, but never seriously.
As I said, I quite enjoyed it, but for some reason the "hook" that LDW caught me with VV isn't there. I've got high hopes of a Sims/VV cross, though.
Posted by: laurence
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/11/09 05:53 PM
I sometime think: "Oh! I must try this game, it may be nice!"
But I never did it, not yet!!
I think it's because I'm also too much addict to the LDW's touch!!
Posted by: VV Lover
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/11/09 06:35 PM
I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the Sims either. I bought it because of all the hype, people seemed to just love it. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. I never went back and played it again.
But I'm not giving up hope on this new LDW game, I'll reserve judgement until I've played the demo.

VF sounds so awsome! I wonder how big the family can get and if you can have pets.
Posted by: Gamemastr1
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/11/09 07:22 PM
I have to say I have never played Sims. In a way it looked intriguing yet in others, it looked incredibly boring. For this, I never made it a point to purchase or play it. From the previews, VF looks
similar
and I will get it when it comes out. I actually have a fuzzy feeling about this one. Having the whole VV series, PT and FT, it seems that maybe it will put a whole new mental output on the game than I had before. Plus, Who knows, Obi may be in there. I suspect we may see some of our Isola friends. If anything, they will have physical characteristics to prove they are direct descendants of our VV tribes. I cannot wait!!!!

I have to agree with you on this one Gamey.
Although I have played Sims I found it very boring...maybe it's our age, you think?
Plus I do not like how you have to micromanage the sim game. And when I heard LDW was doing a Sim game I thought oh great.
But the more I think how the VV games work (and assuming this will built similar) I'm thinking I might just like it.
Patiently waiting.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 02/13/09 05:24 PM
From LDW's press release:
... said Arthur Humphrey, founder of Last Day of Work. “This game is not a trivial game, and it is not about micromanaging..."
(My emphasis added.)
I agree about micromanaging. In The Sims you've even got to decide when the Sim can go to the bathroom.

Well in
thread where they announced it four days ago they said:
Virtual Families has been in development since mid 2008 and will be available for download in Q1 of 2009 with an estimated price of $19.95. For more information, please visit www.VirtualFamilies.com
So that is the most current release date. But with that said they'll have to bust their back sides to get it released by the end of March...but they can do it.

Well they have about a month and a half to finsih because they say it will be done in the first quarter. YAY!!!
YAY!!!
Not to burst your bubble, but if you look at the (now locked) Happy Holidays thread, the date has been changed to the 1st half of 2009.
Well that just means that VV4 will be out by um the end of June.

From LDW's press release:
... said Arthur Humphrey, founder of Last Day of Work. “This game is not a trivial game, and it is not about micromanaging..."
(My emphasis added.)
I agree about micromanaging.
In The Sims you've even got to decide when the Sim can go to the bathroom. hopefully your familes care for themselves better than that.

The sims are kind of boring but if you put it on freewill they do whatever they want and you dont have to control them all the way.

No one knows when LDW release games to the testers.
IIRC LacyCFII or Arthur once stated on these forums that testing begins when the completion is someplace between 95 and 100%.

It's different for every game, and we typically do not announce when a game goes into beta testing.

Well...
technically it is a 'sim' game. I say technically because 'sim' is short for
simulation, which is pretty much what all of LDW's games are. They simulate villagers or plants or fish or little cat/dog creatures.

Well, (and this has been brought out several times before), it says that the game is coming out in the first quarter (Q1) of 2009. 12 months in a year, split that into four (a quarter) and it's three months. January, February, March.

I'm just anxious is all. I have a hunch that LDW has good intentions of releasing it before the conference mid-month. I was off work yesterday and had hoped it would be out before then, but no such luck....

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/05/09 06:19 PM
I've been amusing myself over the past hour or so by re-reading the
Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City Video thread. It's been good fun reading all the posts from those (including me) impatiently awaiting the release of VV3. I don't
think anyone died of impatience!
It was also interesting reading the guesses about what the game would contain: some were spot-on and some were wide of the mark. I'm sure once (if!) a video of VF is released we'll get another similarly long thread.

I was guessing the game be released around mid to late March.
I am also hoping we will at least get another spot before the game get's released and (if) before there is a video released on it.

APRIL FOOLS???

I can see it now...
(AND THIS IS JUST A
JOKE!!!)XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Due to technically difficulties beyond their control, LDW will not be releasing VF at this time. Last night, giant aliens beamed into the LDW Studios from their Mother Ship, which was parked outside our atmosphere, and started vaporizing all the computers and backup devices.
The owners of LDW put up a valiant effort to protect their property but to no avail. Now, LDW has to start over from square one.

I really think that the game won't be released until after the conference next week. Remember when VV3 was released? LDW spent days, if not weeks immediately after handling all the questions and concerns re. purchases, downloads and real playing issues. I don't imagine they would like to attempt to do that right before a big conference
But on the bright side, just think....before the yogurt in my fridge expires, we'll all be playing VF!!!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/13/09 06:12 PM
Ok, so I visit the "Preview" page rather frequently. It keeps saying "90%". I keeping telling the page it is lieing to me. So I press the F5 key on the keyboard (which is the REFRESH button on a PC)in hopes that I was looking at a cached page, but it still keeps coming back and telling me "90%". So, for the next 2 minutes, I keep this process up:
F5
"90%"
"You lie!"
F5
"90%"
"You lie!"
F5
"90%"
"You lie!"
I think my computer is suffering from "technical difficulties" beyond its control.
F5
"90%"
"You lie!"...

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/13/09 09:11 PM
Ok... here is a quick math lesson.
What is a quarter? It is when you take 1 whole and break it into 4 pieces.
How many months in
ONE year? 12 right?
Break 12 into 4 equal parts. You get 3 pieces to one quarter, right? (12 divided by 4 = 3)
So that means there are 3 months to a quarter of a year.
JAN -|
FEB -|- First quarter of the year
MAR -|APR -|
MAY -|- Second quarter of the year
JUN -|JUL -|
AUG -|- Third quarter of the year
SEP -|OCT -|
NOV -|- Fourth quarter of the year
DEC -|So, looking at what we have so far, we can see that VF is scheduled to be released at the end of MAR.
I hope this helps clear up any confusion on this matter.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/14/09 04:31 PM
But if we know that VF will come out by the end of March and VV4 by the end of June. And that VF took more than three months to make. VF must be coming out soon so LDW have enough time to make VV4 by July 1th.
Posted by: Gamemastr1
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/14/09 06:14 PM
Wellllll...
Looking at the "Preview" page, it does say "Work in Progress", which to me would mean LDW is working on 2 game developments at the same time. If that were the case, I would think that VF would have priority over VV4 to meet the scheduled due date. Please keep in mind that I am not, in any way, involved with the games development and at this point, I do not have any more information about it than anyone else does.
Now for me, even though I am just as excited as the rest of you, I have learned to take a scheduled due date as something to aim for rather than a concrete, written in stone event. Depending on the circumstances, it can come out earlier or later than the projected date.
The same as if you were building a house. Sometimes it gets finished ahead of schedule, sometimes right on schedule and then there are those unfortunate times that it runs over schedule.
If, and I say "IF" it does not get released on the target date, I am confident in LDW that they tried everything they could to make it on time. I am sure that there have already been nights with little or no sleep. I would rather wait a bit longer and get a superior product than to get one that may disappoint me just to meet a deadline.
So, we have 18 more days not including today for a release. I hope you all will join me in supporting our favorite game developers and excersize patience for a superior game. It'll be worth it. I have faith in that.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/14/09 06:31 PM
Hear Hear! I think I'd rather wait, say a month to get a better game than to get it on time and see that it's not worth it. Now, I'm not saying LDW has bad games, I'm just restating what Gamey said, just in a shorter post!
Actully, I'm just resating the 4th paragraph. So this post may be just a waste of time, and you can just read Gamey's post and leave the thread. Whatever works.

I agree with you, Gamey! I worked during more than 20 years as technician in theater or for movies. So I know very well what a schedule means!! You know, every thing must be ready and perfect when the people come to watch your job!! If it's necessary, we work night and day without coming back home
And I don't speak of the "stage-fear"... !
It's because I can imagine how does our poor dear LDW team feel!
and I sympathize!

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/14/09 09:31 PM
I'm so glad that Gamey wrote about dates and schedules not being written in concrete. So what if VF doesn't reach the market on March 31st! No one is going to do harm to themselves or their property. If the game is delayed, so be it. We can wait and when the game is released it will be even sweeter.
Use this waiting time for spending time with your families and your friends. If you haven't seen or talked with someone lately ... look them up. If your grades aren't what they should be .... do some studying and extra credit stuff. You will be surprised at the rewards you will receive.
Okay, enough of the soap box stuff.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/14/09 10:41 PM
LDW can only give us a date when they are exactly sure. It was an estimate that it will come out in the 1st quarter of 2009. So it might be released in the 2nd quarter because they still need to perform Beta testing and remove harmful bugs. Then the game will be finished and announced. When LDW has time, they might reveal a video or have the picture shown. I am to waiting for the game but we cannot pressurize LDW to reveal the game, make a video or show the picture. Let them be and be patient. And probably, if we don't pressurize LDW to much, they will finish faster, add more fun to it, and as soon as you know it, the game will be out! I mean, I'm not trying to make you guys do what I want, but I just think we should stop telling them to hurry up. Thank you for understanding!

Actually The game was started several months ago and they probally start beta testing at 80% and also squish bugs at about 90-95. at 95 to 100 they calcuate the price, make the box cover, brainwash the beta testers, and buy more camoflodge for their HQ

When It was 85%, LadyCFII said that Beta testing hasn't started yet so it is probably going on now. The bug killing part probably will start at around the late 90's like VV3 did.
P.S.: They make the boxcover after the game is released.

If it doesn't get released...I'll SCREAM. LOL. Actually, if it doesn't get released then we might see it on the 31st exactly maybe.

I think I'll be more disappointed to see a 95%... that would mean we'll have to another x time to wait until 100%.
Please no 95%!!!!!! Please 100% instead!!!!

I wonder if they have even started beta testing yet? No update since the first part of February seems like a really bad sign, I will be very surprised if this game is done any time soon.

Oh ye of little faith, Tobycat... Have you lost hope already?
They say it is always darkest before dawn, right? I have faith. I, like you, have no idea when it will be released but the delay in moving the status bar up can mean a hundred bazillion, gazillion things and not ALL of them are bad.
Maybe if we all stand in a circle and hold hands and put forth our best positive energy, we can get the status bar to move.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/29/09 04:20 PM

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/29/09 05:52 PM
Oh come on y'all. I am just trying to get people excited about VF. It is, afterall due to be released in 2 days. Why not get people motivated. People were starting to post less than positive comments. I am just trying to build the excitement up and keep everyone upbeat.
Some people have made personal comments to me that there are not very many people on the forums lately. I have to admit the amount of anticipation seems down from previous game releases. This appears to be a different type of game. From what I read, and the few pictures we see on the VF website, it looks to be engaging. In the pictures, I see marriages, I see old people waving good-bye, probably to their kids. Up top in the banner, it appears to be a dad, and a mom, and a kid. So with marriages and kids, it looks like this resolves some of the "moral" issues some of us have had with the VV games. If that isn't a reason to be excited, I don't know what is...
I am excited and I want people to be excited with me. After all,
WE are the original LDW
Virtual Family, and as a "family' I am getting my "brothers" and "sisters" to join me in a little fun while we wait. To get pumped. To get excited.
Can you hear the drum roll? I can. It is getting louder day by day! So if I get enough of you out there to be excited, we can have fun while we wait.
WHO'S WITH ME?

It will be released. That I am sure of. LDW wouldn't promise us a game and not deliver. If memory serves me correctly, the meter bar should go to 95%. There was once a statement made about the bar going to 95% that I wanted to quote but the Search feature keeps telling me nothing to display
so I will leave it out for now, unless I can find it later.

Gamey, I remember that from a thread on VV3 just before it was released.

I don't think the game will be realeased tomorrow.
It's only at what what, 90 percent? Besides, I'm sure most of us prefer a game with the least amount of problems as possible, instead of a very buggy game, which leads to numorous complaints and the loss of costumers.

When I was here for the VV3 release it was released around 1:00-2:00 pm. Now note that was what time it was in my time zone. My current time right now is 9:11 AM. I was on the forums and I noticed a VV3 forum popped up out of the blue. Then somebody shouted the VV3 was released...I couldn't download the trial for an hour, because the servers where sooooo busy!

I'm sorry, I haven't seen the previews you mention. I've clicked on the preview page, but the only thing I see are: an older couple, a married couple and maybe a kid. Am I missing something?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 03/31/09 03:45 PM
Sorry to say I don't visit this site often enough. I just came on her a couple of weeks ago to see when vv4 would be released and I found out about vf. I am looking forward to it too. I like these games because they are family friendly. I have a nephew who gets too emotionally charged with some of those other so-called child-friendy rpg games. We almost have to kick him off because he gets so intense.
I like these games because you can't rush through them, but sometimes it does get frustrating when you know the villagers are near starvation and you can't do anything but look for mushrooms. I hope that food won't become a major issue to vf.

been watching and waiting quietly...
quote from press release - 'VF will be available for download in Q1 of 2009'
everyone has assumed that means by end of march, and noone from LDW has come forward to correct that assumption.
i agree with robbygirl...admin have always kept everyone well informed....their absence right now, and their silence which is almost deafening says something is about to happen to me.
if there was an unexpected delay, that could be lengthy, i feel sure they would announce that.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 01:10 AM
Yes but in the news reslease in Feb it says it will be released in Q1...so there

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 01:12 AM
That has actually always been there(The Merry Christmas first half of '09). When they say the first half, they mean all that will come out in the first half, not just VF.
But im still here waiting.....

Oh well,
If not will just have to wait until it comes out. Just wish someone would let us know if it is today or not. That would be nice
Posted by: justbecaz
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 02:00 AM
Looking at the XMas post in 08 it does say first half, but the announcement saying Q1 is dated 2/8/09. So Im crossing my fingers, eyes, tongue and legs and hoping that the 2/8/09 announcement has the correct information.

hey lady or carla, is it true that testing will only take a few days to complete then the game will be available for purchase?
Posted by: LadyCFII
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 03:45 AM
You should read Carla's post in News and Announcements for details. Testing takes a lot longer than a few days (trust me, I know these things).
Posted by: MoniqueG
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 03:47 AM
ok, thanks Lady, umm, i'm not sure where the news page is, can you please put a link up here in the forums?

Lady - just curious, do you test the new games too?

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 04:08 AM
I am one of the developers, and we all test the games from the beginning.
Monique, you can look at the Previews Page, or just click on the Portal Page link at the top of the forums to see the latest screen shot.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 04:31 AM
I notice that it looks like there are little messes around, water on the bathroom floor, something on the floor in the kitchen so I assume house cleaning will be one of the tasks. Just like real life!

Wow, I'm glad I came back and checked again!! The game board looks kinda NannyMania-ish but obviously it won't be the same :P I can't wait to see a video that actually shows game play/mechanics if we are lucky enough to get one
And um...so will we actually see them...using the bathroom??

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 04:50 AM

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 11:12 AM
yep..looks like fun....
i have to say im a little disappointed in the
misleading media release. it clearly states 'available for download in Q1', not...will go into testing at the end of Q1
and available 6 weeks later.
ive always found the updates to be accurate here...i think
an announcement should have been made to clarify the release
date due to testing.
still think the gang do good work, and am looking forward to
the game, but....

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 02:32 PM

Now they just need to say April Fools and release the game! lol.

Oh my! I think they're trying to trick us into thinking that it is going to be released at 140% or something!
Posted by: slowpokeyHope
Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/01/09 03:14 PM
They do awesome work
! I am glad to see some more progress
. I would rather wait another month and have the bugs worked out and everything finalized than get it now with problems. There are other games(not on here, like xbox or something) that the release date had been pushed back a year or more, so one month is definately bearable!
Good Job LDW!!!! I'm proud of you all!!
And very excited to play!

Mom's excited too. When I showed her the page she said: "Go tell everybody [refering to the ones I was talking to in the shoutbox] Go Tell everybody!!!!" Me: "Mom they were the ones to tell me to check the page." Mom: "Oh."
As you can see mom's [Maniac Mom] is just as excited as me.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/03/09 09:54 PM
I bet it's a virtual marriage website.
And since this seems to be the place for discussion...here are some ponderings I posted in the screenie thread.
I'm just wondering what the heck a Beginner Model Builder is.
She sure is a pretty lady, though! I would have given her a job as a model.
I'm still confused about what the objectives/puzzles will be.
And it looks like they can spend money.
Well, these tantalizing peeks are certainly heightening the excitement!
Also, I wonder what the red and green 'gloves' in the first screenie (top right corner) are? Are they clothes? And what's the item under the gloves?

SpecialPrincess, I don't know what the red and green gloves are for but I think underneath them is a moneybag.

Ok so I am already starting to analyze everything in the video. So what is that first room to the left after the little person walks in the front door. Is that a laundry room? I cant really tell what anything in the room is except for a counter with some chairs.

I paused the video when a lot of that room could be seen, and I
think that you're right, and it's a laundry room. However, I think that those aren't chairs, but laundry baskets with wheels!

Yeah..I think you are right about the laundry baskets on wheels. I am VERY excited about this game!

Just don't get too excited guys. They said the were aiming for a release date on the 22nd. Alot of things could go wrong before that date, causing them to have to release it later.
Now that I've said that:
I hope it comes out on the 22nd!!!!

I am confident that the game will be ready to go on April 22, I think they are trying really hard to make sure its ready and its the best possible game they can release.

I have a feeling they wouldn't have set a specific date if they weren't sure that it could be released around that date.

To see the new screenies here's the link:
Screenies I didn't know where the screenies where, so I decided to post the link so that other people would find it faster than I did.
Anyways:
YAY, only 4 more days until the server gets so busy we can't download it.
It happend last year with VV3. It took me an hour to finally get through the server.
Who thinks we'll set a new online record?
I love that have pets...I wonder if it's just cats and dogs...
And there's a person on the pics that looks like me.
Maybe we can choose lookalikes and name them after ourselves.

Re: New game in progress on the previews page? - 04/18/09 05:13 PM
Is that a cat I see?! And a dog?! Cool!
And maybe we will break the record, H!
For future reference, the current Max Online record is 299 @ 5/17/08.

The couple with a baby is standing ON their bed. I wonder if Arthur was encouraging jumping on the bed again.
The girl sitting in an armchair is holding a book almost as big as she is.
Come to think of it, she looks a lot like me.
