    We'll released a video "soon", but I won't tell any exact date.
    Just be patient, it won't hurt. :p
    I'll keep posting new images in-between,
    Cheers,

    Every detail in FM was build around making the player knows a bit more every time he moves forward. The nature of puzzles/riddles, the twisted storyline, the huge interaction, etc. Our approach is to bring what others survivals horrors are missing "Pure psychological fears".
    We'll constantly get input from our testers and polish with those inputs in mind till the end of development.

    Do you think you'll be able to get the vid to us in a week? I'm not begging or anything, just wondering because I'm going on a trip for a week.

    Yes,
    But even so, don't forget your iTouch in your trip, the video will be available through Youtube, just in case. ;)

    Hey, don't leave me out and forget me while I'm on my trip. I'm going to be gone till Friday morning. And there will be no wifi or internet, as I'm going on a bombed, mostly deserted island. So if I don't respond don't leave me out. I'm leaving tommorow (Monday) btw.

    I wasn't going to dignify this behavior with a post. So I'll make this short and quite pointed.

    I haven't attacked you. I haven't been overtly rude. I haven't slammed your games.

    I've acted like any other gamer whom is curious about your titles. Without gamers who play, you'd have no game to sell.

    I was and am a beta tester for Aralon. I was harder at times, on Josh, than I've been here. I have much respect and appreciation for how Crescent Moon has worked with the TA community. Crescent Moon never made a promise in which they couldn't deliver. Any issues they've had, have been ironed out and they're still ironing out new things for Aralon which are impressive.

    They continually updated the community on new developments prior to release. They followed through, regardless of a preview build (which we ALL know is not representative of the final build) with screens and videos.

    Crescent Moon showcased and built momentum for their marque titles.

    I believe you are acting unbecoming of a developer. Rather than be defensive of Forgotten Memories, take critique and suggestions, concerns and applause with equal brevity.

    Instead, you attack members and chastise them (myself included) for a dissenting opinion.

    Have you stopped to think, things may be seen in a more favorable light if you didn't back step on a promise made every other week? Or speak negatively toward people whom (myself included) have tried to hold you toward your word?

    I'm all for accountability and utmost professionalism, yet here I am, taking your post to task.

    I apologize this post ended up more long winded than I'd have liked.

    Keep working hard. Keep making FM the best game it can possibly be. Keep updating the community the best way you can.

    Please, just please, don't stoop low enough to make vilified comments toward those gamers (who've been eager for months) who are collecting on YOUR promises.

    Cheers.

    Apologize if you feel attacked with my later posts, I was giving you an advice about your behaviors in this thread, that i found a bit offending/aggressive.
    1 - Regarding dates. I've doubled-tripled warned users a while back that we won't tell any specific date because of the well known spikes that development and specially milestones haves. So please stop telling about promises that we not meet. We have issues like any other studio making games, normal issues, I guess you are already aware of that. However we spoke to our users and poke them out what's going on. We'll deliver as much info as we can, while we can. Not as an user request. Even so, we keep posting regular updates of our advancement/progress with little info/pictures without completely leaking the game.
    2 - About constructive criticisms. Sure, I'm very defensive when you try to give feedback (aggressive/negative) about a game that you don't know anything about it.
    Like i said, I'll get any positive/constructive feedback once we provide users something to play or at least see the game through a video.
    I've never had this kind of discussion on this thread with an user, (besides Azrael bitching about others games in this thread, but that's not the case here). We have a very huge list of TA testers that will get not only a video but also current builds states of the game to play with and be sure, we'll do it not for fun, but to get as much feedback as possible. ;)
    Not only get feedback, we'll get heavy input from them add few of their request to the final version of Forgotten Memories.
    Hope it helps you understand.
    King regards,

    LOL at new accounts declaring this to be the GOTY or best game of the year hahaha. No offense but DEad strike debacle ( making a new version of the game instead of updating and fixing bugs for the original game) gave me AN Impression that tatooforever is a fly-by-night dev. Not a dev one would emulate since he does not respond well to critic and would go out of his way to attack forum members.
