Listen - Just a game.

[Cinnamon]

Are you using a custom audio module like FModex? If so you need to make sure the proper dlls are provided with the game and that the ones provided are compatible with all Windows. The standard audio module of rpg maker should wield no issues, though.

 

[Denna]

I wasn't responsible for the music so I don't know. But I'll keep this in mind. Thanks.

 

[Alexis Hiemis]

We didn't use FModex or other sound scripts. But we have encountered errors when using MP3 Files downloaded from Jamendo. There seem to be recurring problems with MP3 Codecs

 

[Cinnamon]

How many people have worked on this game. xD You might want to convert all your audio files to *.ogg. It's the best filetype for RPG Maker.

 

[Alexis Hiemis]

As it's said in the Credits, we are a team of five people, Denna, Pilzchen, Evrey, Crazy_Leen and me. Denna is our public relations manager no, just kidding, she just took it onto herself to promote the download links and spread the word

We already converted stuff into OGG, I'm not entirely sure if the problem was fixed for OGG files. But thanks for the suggestion anyway

 

[Denna]

Again, many thanks for your praise and criticism.

We've got some news covering Listen. Finally, after many months the contest results will be released on Tuesday 30.09.2014. Then we'll know, who the winners of the Indiecontest are.

Besides, we are currently polishing (some new content and stuff) and translating Listen. By now it will be released in three languages: English, German, Spanish.

If there is anyone speaking and writing an other language fluently who also would like to translate Listen, she or he may contact us.

Our current deadline is about the end of October.

 

[Denna]

I know, it has been a long time, but we're not dead. Neither is Listen. We still work on a new version.

Added until now:

• Translation into German and Spanish
• 2 new play sequences
• 1 new scene
• To encourage players to explore the maps, we added accumulative objects. The outcome of this are 7 new scenes.

Will be added:

• a full mini-game (with record-mode after unlocking)
• 1 more scene

To see the full results of year 2014 visit our website.

This type of game is right up my alley! Not all screenhots have the same quality of mapping in my opinion, but do not fret. When the game is released, I will listen

[SIZE=14pt]\o/ Hello and welcome to the yearly rubber duck race! \o/[/SIZE]

In this race we look which rubber duck reaches the ozonosphere first. All rubber duckies are exact identical and are attached to an green balloon filled with 0.125 liter helium. The starting conditions are absolute fair.

Let the rubber duckies fly! \o/

... and how can we keep them apart? Ôo

But... that's exactly that what makes the game fair! Everybody wins!

But joking apart! What do we celebrate?
 

Well, the revision of Listen comes into beta soon! After about a 3/4 year of revision. Who'd have thought it? Me neither!
 

Now it's time to reach for the bug hunters and grammar nazis, we need you as testers for Listen!

The beta is starting on 04/30/2015 and is going to be until 05/24/2015.

 

The offical release is intended for the 06/01/2015. That's enough time for us to cover every contingency.

 

For application and further information visit the Listen website. [Here is the article.]

The story sound interesting and the graphics looks amazing, hopefully I will not miss it when you finally release it!

 

[Denna]

I just updated the start post. It contains some more details.

Hello guys,

we're proud to announce, that Listen will be translated into Italian. Thank you, EatYourBeetS, for this opportunity. But we don't know whether or not the Italian translation will be published at 06/01/2015 together with the other languages because we'd need to find some proofreaders for this language first. Maybe you're a native speaker?

Currently it seems that there are no delay in our schedule. The minigame is finished and successfully integrated into the game. Some bugs are solved and we got a nice bunch of beta testers. 21(!) Spanish people and 4 of each German and English tester.  There could be more. However, most of the german and english people do grammar and misspelling corrections, but more is never too much when it comes to spell.

So, I hope we find some more English and German beta testers  and maybe some Italian proofreaders so that we can further improve Listens quality.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

I just updated the topic. I refreshed the screenshots because they weren't current anymore.

We've a little delay in our schedule but that shouldn't affect the start of the beta phase too much. The beta version goes out today!

 

[slimmmeiske2]

The new screenshots look great! I remember playing this one (though I didn't finish), it was very lovely and quite interesting. That ferris wheel btw looks awesome! (That's new, right?)

Good luck with the testing!

 

[Denna]

@slimmmeiske2: Thank you. Nop, the ferris wheel was in this game the whole time. But now it's in the title menu, too. XD

That ferris wheel btw looks awesome!

I'll pass it to our artist (Pilzchen) who made it.

 

[slimmmeiske2]

Aaaah. (I probably never got that far ^^; )

Looking forward to playing the updated version ^^ 

 

[Denna]

The closed beta has started. Just in time. *cough* Well… Somewhere on earth it was still April as the mail was sent, I guess. 20 testers will put the game to the acid test.

 

[Denna]

The beta phase ends today. 4 out of 20 beta tester have reported bugs. I'm quite... unsatisfied to be honest. But we got around 80 bugs reported I hope it's good enough. So I guess there is no other way than to make a kind of open beta. We'll see.

 

[CrazyCrab]

I really like the premise and your mapping + tiles are very nice. The story's also really interesting, so I'll keep an eye out for a public release.

I wish there was a demo to check it out, but I guess I can wait for an open beta or something though.

If you need a tester (I know I'm a little bit late ^^') I'd be happy to take a look.

 

[Denna]

Hello everyone,
I'm proud to announce that Listen is finally here. You can download the game here.

Please consider that where can still be bugs and grammatical errors in the game. (Hopefully not!) Please use our bug report form here to report them to us. Every tiny detail or suggestion is highly appreciated. Feedback or wishes for a new version, too.

And now have fun and a nice day.
