[Pengwin]

A little late to the party, but I have also put it on my wishlist.

You can't be late to a party that has not yet started!
Thanks

I's obviously on my wishlist too. Can't wait !

Believe me, I can't wait to be done with it as well.
I love working on this time of thing, but with the big stuff we have at work plus Encouter on the evenings and weekend... I'm starting to runt out of steam!

We can't wait, but we will wait. Your health first !!! You have a life too and it is the most important. Take care Mickaël.

Oh the wheels are in motion, so not much I can do: The game will (has to) launch on December 20th, because that has been announced, and it's setup on the Steam page, etc... so there's no delay possible there (technically possible but that would make the stress even worse).

So now, just a few weeks to go, then the launch, then fix whatever bug or issue if found, then I sleep for 6 years.

Added to my wishlist ;D

@bieno: Thanks!

Switching to French because this event will be a video in French, not sure if captioning will be available

Ce soir (Jeudi 12 décembre donc) à 21:00 une vidéo interview technique a propos de Encounter sur la chaîne YouTube Génération Micros!

C’est en mode “première”, donc avec chat disponible, et je serais là pour répondre aux questions.

Au programme: L’historique du projet, les différences entre la version 1983 et 2024 du jeu, comment le système de script fonctionne, le son, etc…



A ce soir

(Et si vous lisez ca trop tard, la vidéo sera toujours présente, mais sans la possibilité de poser des questions.)

Et pour un avant gout du contenu, une idée du contenu:

I watched the full video and enjoyed it a lot.
Except that I made the mistake to watch it on a mobile phone.
So I'll have to watch it again to better see details.

I found there were too many adverts during the video playback.
But that's the only minor point I noticed. All the rest being pure pleasure:
- nice little recap of Michaël's life and achievements.
- nice presentation of Encounter
- very interesting technical details and history of the project.

What I really appreciated the most was hearing Michael speak about technical detail of oric programming in french.
It is so unusual to have this type of high quality and expert level technical details about Oric expressed in our mother tongue.

You can't be late to a party that has not yet started!

I don't have a steam account so I can't add this game to my wishlist.
But I'll for sure buy it on itch to support the effort and for all your carrier.
Can't wait to see the source code as well. I'm sure there will be tons of good stuff to learn from it.

And also longing to see the real time presentation of Encounter tonight at the ceo visu meet:

Dbug explained very well the functioning and the history of the game "Encounter", it is a good advertisement to make it known to the public.

Bravo pour ce travail incroyable ! Je vais regarder la vidéo dès que possible. Je me suis aussi abonné à la page sur Steam.

Demain, c'est le grand jour alors ?

Demain, c'est le grand jour alors ?

C'est vraiment chouette que cette sortie coïncide avec une période de vacances.

Les oriciens auront un peu plus de facilité à se consacrer à ce jeu.

En tout cas, inutile de sortir quoique ce soit pendant cette période .. il ne va rester aucun temps de cerveau d'Oricien disponible (à part peut-être celui des beta testeurs).

[Dbug]

Demain, c'est le grand jour alors ?

Yup, the game releases tomorrow.

I spent the morning working on a "launch trailer" teaser video!

EDIT: Behind the scene photo!
