Oh well, maybe at 500,000...

I think they put in a special message at 200,000. I think I remember it being 'You people have clicked this bar 200k times.' And something after that.

Keep posting,

EDIT: Found it.

The something after that was 'Having fun yet?'

Well...I guess we could bump it up 5% or so every month instead of moving it .5% every three days, like some game sites do. (Mental note: check whether any game sites actually do that)

...But wait! What am I thinking?! This is DROD!! Not LOLx04S: Gold!!! We are interested in enjoying the details of the journey! I can't let those important steps of jam-packing goodies into this game all along the way go to waste, as if they were just so many nameless faces being jammed into a crowd of the unwashed masses. No! We will not cater to a dictated release date and a horde of marketing apes whose job it is to tell you when we'll be done as if this were just another product to ship and not an exquisite, hand-crafted labor of love being finely-tuned by those who know and seasoned with a time-honored blend of seventeen of the finest herbs and spices, then roasted to perfection! Yes! I WILL stick with the .25s and .5s. That's where the love is, oh, yes.

17?

To be honest, I'm surprised you haven't jumped it by 10% just to see the reaction, and then announce it was an error and it should have been a 1% increase.

I just noticed something.

I know how the pop ups are supposed to be messages from the Deadly Bar of Death, but why does it say 'The page at http://forum.caravelgames.com says'.

shouldn't it be 'The Deadly Bar of Death says'?

The page doesn't have control over that.

They say the last 10% takes 90% of the time.

Therefore, I'm going to try and get the one millionth click.

I predict it'll converge towards 91% (but never quite reach it) until it suddenly jumps to 91% when there's really some bigger improvement...

np: Turquoise - My Name Is... (Leichtes Hören 1)

And... updated the bar progress picture! (Once more thanks to Znirk for help with OpenOffice a few pages earlier)

Wow. Six months since I last did that. And about 10% increase during that time. At the moment it looks like we won't need to wait another six months for the last 10, though

EDIT: Outdated - Moved to page 62

Well, games getting published before their time because the publisher says so happens all the time nowadays - just look at NWN2!

np: Kaito - Release Your Body (Special Love)

Indeed
I'm sure that we are all aware that Caravel's publisher is ruthless when it comes to release dates.

It's a worry

Considering the next SmS is being delayed a season, I'd say so.

Oh, and now you know tokyokid. All it does is increase the font size by 2.

Now I'm wondering... Will that latest SmS hold support JtRH? Or will the next SmS holds be TCB only?

The Summer SmS was delayed to fall. Was the fall one delayed too?
