Just a couple quick notes in the Caravel November news for our faithful followers.
Progress
The progress bar for Caravel's
Next Big Project has been inching upward, and we expect to enter beta testing early 2012. In anticipation of this event, LETTERS have started being revealed over the bar. What could these letters mean? Speculation runs rampant in Caravel's sixth Bar Watching thread:
http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=29658
Are the letters a reference to an island newly risen out of the ocean of the Eighth? Something having to do with the Grand Event? Is it an obscure mathematical reference to DROD's Turing completeness? Some odd AR event? Well...it's most likely the title of the new game. In place of a traditional forum contest in November, this time whoever guesses the phrase correctly first wins a
free copy of the upcoming game as soon as it is released! (Sorry, anyone in the inner circle who already knows the answer is excluded from guessing, but you will receive a free copy anyway.) Just post your guesses in the Bar Watching thread above to participate. You must match the answer precisely to win. Good luck!
Holiday Cheer
Meanwhile, Caravel is promoting a holiday sale starting now through the end of the year. If you've been waiting to buy any of the DROD games until the price comes down, or you are thinking to gift a copy of DROD to a friend, then this is your chance! Use the following coupon code, containing the first letters in the Bar's mystery text, when placing your order to receive
