[Doctor Shemp]

The arrival of TSRP2R is pretty awesome, but I think a talkhaus-made game, with head-to-toe new content, takes clear precedence.

Two talkhaus collabs back-to-back is a bad idea. It will just invite comparisons between the two rather than evaluating them on their own merits. We need a break in between and TSRP2R is perfect for that.

What merits? I mean, seriously, what merits? Looking through the A2MT LP thread, can you see any discussion of merits? Everyone's already slagging off A2MT, so how much worse could it possibly get? Besides, even with a delay, there would be comparisons. A2MT has already been compared on its merits and lack of them to ASMT's merits and lack of them and ASMBXT's merits and lack of them. It's also been compared to A2XT already even though it hasn't even come out. Comparisons will happen no matter what, and why's that a bad thing anyway?

Secondly, delaying A2XT for A2MT killed off a lot of enthusiasm within the project. The posting in the threads is slower, the testing is slower, everything is slower. If it got another big delay, it could possibly enter total stagnation. Obviously that's what alex has always wanted, but I like to think that he's alone in his pettiness.

To be honest... Doctor Shemp, you and others have said before that your release schedule will not depend on raocow's let's play. But as soon as raocow started A2MT, the team capitalized on the opportunity and pushed off the release.

I said that but then SAJewers made a statement that meant I was half-correct: he wouldn't rush A2XT for raocow's schedule, but he would postpone it for raocow's schedule.

[Zygl]

I might want something in between but not a 90 exit hack that will take two monthes.

So you're going to play MaGKL X that SMWC YI contest?

[Leet]

obviously he should play an 86 level hack that will take two months instead

come on we all know we want to see raocow play VLDC 2014 more than any other game we just have to admit it to our hearts

[raocow]

example of something that I would find more interesting than tsrpr2r, in terms of 'new stuff to play' (but still not before a2xt)

Although I'd say this is the strongest VLDC ever, there are no hilariously bad levels in the bottom ten. There are just .. regularly bad/annoying/long levels which you'll have to slog through. You won't find another MalcolmBellman38 masterpiece that utterly annihilates the sound.

Still though, worth a shot if you ever need a 1-2 month project in the distant future, especially since the good levels are really good for being vanilla.

[morsel/morceau]

Like... it's mostly the same game, but improved.

That's an incredibly unfair summary. There's worse graphics and more reading.

play asmt

[AUS]

cant wait until a2mtR

[YelseyKing]

Play MAGLX again. I'm getting nostalgic for it.

oh man that sounds great

I said that but then SAJewers made a statement that meant I was half-correct: he wouldn't rush A2XT for raocow's schedule, but he would postpone it for raocow's schedule.

To be fair, what I meant wasn't so much "delay A2XT until raocow has a free LP slot", moreso "raocow really wants to play A2XT, but I don't want to release it during the middle of an LP and cause him to rush through it just so he can play A2XT ASAP." Let him enjoy A2MT or whatever else he plays first.

While some people are gunning for an August 1 release date, I'm expecting 2 or 3 weeks after pholtos finishes his playthrough, so a breather after A2MT will probably be needed.

[Doctor Shemp]

I mentioned this in the beta test thread, but August 1 would totally be feasible if pholtos skipped the levels that everyone already agrees have no problems and have never had major problems, along with the towns, since they're a major timesink. And that music thing that Sturg is working on could be patched in post-release if it's not done in time, couldn't it?

[SAJewers]

probably, but I need the updated Overworld, and he wants to send both at once.

Honestly, if pholtos keeps churning out videos like he has, he should be finished before or on August 1.

Wait then who was TSRPR?

Carol, obviously

[Zygl]

Wait then who was TSRPR?

TSRPR is that romhack rao played like six months ago, remember?

[ano0maly]

All I remember is scary pictures

[Jesuiscontent]

Wait then who was TSRPR?

I did an IP search to find the identity of this criminal. Here's my conclusive evidence :

TSRPR is raocow's split personality. You should listen to yourself, raocow

You're probably going to have to wait for that.

Also the NSFW area lowers its chances a bit, too I think.
