Quit with the attitude. Saying the word 'hell' was completely inappropriate in that context, and in case you didn't notice, the problem HAS stopped. Really, garirry, I'm getting tired of you disrespecting anyone who talks about things you don't know about. You're the one who needs to please... STOP IT.

Keep this oh-so-superior attitude up and you'll be next in the banning line. Just so you know.
First off, we now are all in off-topic. Please switch to on-topic.

Second off, stop continuing the off topic discussion.

Now, how many adventures do you think there will be in POTZ? :)

Zero, considering that we're never even going to get another update on it.
Okay, Mr. Optimist.</sarcasm>
Everyone's additude here isn't very nice to MS. :(
He is very busy, and stuff happens, so its perfectly expect..able (is that a word?) for haituses on development.

And Emerald, start complaining once you finish QftRS.

I'm impressed, guys. I'm sitting here trying to think of content for a rant post of mine to get everyone to be respectful and/or on topic again, and I'm drawing a complete blank.

This is a first for me. I don't think I've seen a topic derailed this thoroughly, here or on any other forum, even if it is back on topic now.

YOU CAN NEVER COMPLAIN. :twisted:

EDIT: So, uh... what new plotlines do you think we'll be able to make with the upcoming editor?

We'll finally have proper magic shooters so we can have signs actually do stuff outside of dialogues and fireflowers. :twisted:

The magic shooters are a very large portion of the reason I want to finish TMD series after POTZ comes out. I could always implement the epic battle into my main series, but whatever.

Seeing as I take an insanely long time to make each adventure, yes. And you are so insanely pessimistic about POTZ. Besides, if I get on the designer team, or the tester team, I won't be posting any adventures for a while.

Why we wait so long for WA3? It must be released in summer 2011, we are in autumn 2011. :?

Again, he said no sooner than summer 2011. I think I've said this before.

5:01 PM: Verifying if right...

5:10 PM: Ah, your right! I... I guess I don't have read it very attentively...

But anyway. If it says ''before summer'', it must not be too late after this date to be released...

I think maybe you guys are expecting too much out of Patrick. Give the man some time. He'll make an announcement when he has the time.

Maybe he's making us wait for something really cool and doesn't want to say anything yet.

Or maybe he has a life of his own. :P

I'm positive Patrick hasn't forgotten. He's probably pretty busy.

Sorry guys, but the "too busy" excuse just doesn't work anymore. It's been 365 days since the last concrete sign of progress. You think he didn't have any time to work on WA3?

If I had to guess, I'd say that MS doesn't care about Wonderland anymore. I wouldn't blame him for giving up on a project; I've done it many times myself.

I never said he wasn't working on it.

Another possibility is that he's having a hard time getting the game to function properly. I mean, with all the new objects, he might have to work around bugs in the programming that have only appeared now because there are objects that weren't in the previous games.

And then there's always the unfortunate event that a virus has infected his computer and he lost all of his progress. :?

Here's an idea: Has anyone considered a fund raiser of some sort???

If he was, he'd have something to show by now.

Glitches or bugs wouldn't prevent him from posting new pictures. I'm an experienced game designer and the worst problems I've come across have taken about 3 hours to troubleshoot and fix. That's not much compared to 365 days worth of development.

Mine was around 12 hours of troubleshooting with another person until we found out it was a stupid typo.

Just because you're developing a game doesn't mean you have to post pictures all the time.

Look, he's recently made a post on here in the off-topic forum, so obviously he still cares. He's just not telling us anything because he hasn't gotten the time for it, or some other reason we don't know about yet.

Besides, Game Maker is not as hard as a "real" programming language.
