It's almost time to Make Bouncy Bouncy!
* MBB Status; It's true, Make Bouncy Bouncy is nearly ready! Nearly, as we iron out some last minute kinks on the web purchasing backend. The demo is ready, but the rest should only take a few more days to sort it all through... !
Huh? What's that you say? 'What if I lay the demo on you now, while you wait for the full version?' Well... we definitely could... but before that's decided, let's walk through what happens if we follow your testy "What If" scenario and release the demo early:
What if:
1) You somehow grab the "backend not yet ready" demo early from your favorite independent casual game developer ByDesign Games ...
2) You naturally fall in love with the game and want to Make Bouncy Bouncy all night long, and so you click on the Activation link to turn your demo into the full version...
3) Then you sit... waiting on the purchase page... in anticipation of all the Bouncy Bouncy you're about to get up to... just you and your expired Make Bouncy Bouncy demo, your hard-earned smackers in your hand, ready to buy the full version...
4) But it's not loading! And you sit... and wait...
5) And you wait some more. You stop bathing, your boss calls wondering why you haven't been to work, your pets have left because they are hungry, your neighbors start to wonder where you have been, and finally your family files a missing person's report...
6) The police come, but you don't answer the door because what if Make Bouncy Bouncy becomes available for purchase while you're chatting with the nice officer who would otherwise be explaining to you that your family is worried about you and have since cancelled your next birthday party... so you sit there and wait some more...
7) Finally you get hungry and you risk it all and make your stinky way over to the refrigerator. But all the food's gone bad! You've nothing to eat, but you don't go shopping, because... what if! So you return and wait some more until you end up growing weaker and weaker, and just before your last breath, you get another update from ByDesign Games saying, Make Bouncy Bouncy is finally ready to purchase! Oh sweet pickled onions!
But it's all too late! You're too weak to move the mouse any further. And you pass out on the floor, your future uncertain... all because you demanded that we release the demo early, before the full version was ready for prime time.
Is that what you want? To risk your health, before we ironed out some technology snafu on the backend?! Possibly life, even more possibly limbs, all for a backend SNAFU!?
Well, to that I say... NO! For your limbs, your health, your family, and your pets... just wait... a little longer.
And if you can't do that, all I can offer is that you express your frustration in our "just sitting there & waiting for you to post" Forums.
Have at it you...! Har!
