An Unprecedented Event in Video Game History.

I have something to tell ya, some good, some bad.

Why don’t you take a seat. Take a seat right over there.

First off, thanks for taking a break from playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl to be here today. I won’t take up much of your time. It seems that, for the first time that I can remember in Vertigo Game history, we’re going to have to delay a game. Holy crap.

Sandbox of God 2 will not make the deadline for the Ancient Civilization competition, unfortunately. Both Fred Fredrickson (artist of SOG2) and I agree that we need more time to make the game as great as possible. The game will now be targeted for a release in early June for the Independent Gaming competition.

Some good news though- this will allow me to go full speed ahead with Liquisity 2. The graphics are nearly done and the game will be built off the old engine, so it shouldn’t take all that long at all. It will also be free & have an even better level editor, with tons new stuff.

So, sorry for the SOG delay, but it’s really for the best. I hope to have a screen of it by the end of the month. Liquisity 2 will also have some video soon. Woo!

    You’re… you’re… delaying… it…? I don’t… I don’t understand…

    Anyhoo, if that’s the case, so be it. I’d much prefer, and I’m sure this applies to everyone, that you take your time and make it the best game you can, rather than rushing it for a competition.

    And also, yay for Liquisity 2!

    Well, it’s better to wait for a game to be better then have it be rushed. Shigeru Miyamoto has proved that many times.

    Well, that’s too bad. $1000 would be really nice, even if you have to split it with Fred.
    Still, the Independent Gaming Competition is probably about 800 levels higher, so that’s nice.

  4. This damn well better be important…Blueflare still hasn’t sent me those Brawl pictures. Luckily I have SUper Mario Galaxy to pass the time…

    Well, this aint all bad. I mean, Liquisity 1 was great, so there’s no reason Liquisity 2 shouldn’t be great as well!

  5. Also…why doesn’t my avatar work. =(

  6. Captain Ventris says:

    Haha, I actually AM taking time out from Brawl!

    Well, it’s alright to delay. Like Dale said, it’s worth it.

  7. Wow! Ventris! Drop me a line over the Wii! 😀

    Anyway, we still get two great games, just not in the original order.

    Even if I [i]had[/i] Brawl I’d check this blog every day.

    “for the first time that I can remember in Vertigo Game history, we’re going to have to delay a game”

    Hah.

    Please stop talking about games I can’t have because my lack of a Wii.

    Ergh. This comment form really needs an edit button. Come on, you don’t expect me to read my post BEFORE I SUBMIT IT, do you?

    Gosh, Chubs, you’re more predictable than horror movies.
    Also, the South Park reference made me chuckle.

    Anyway, what I would’ve said has already been said; yes, it is delayed, but it’ll be better because of it.

    I’m going to go send Lost and Pete some screenies now!
