Good to hear they still want to make the event happen.
Hope for you it will be worth the long waiting.

Maybe by that time you can convince the team for starting the LBA 3 kickstarter

[xesf]

I don't mind waiting. It is better to wait than have a trip cancelled again.

LBA3 kickstarter would be a beast, too much money requires for that. I am not sure we have enough fans for suck crowdfunding

[Quetch]

As per my other thread where I briefly touched upon this topic with Didier, I highly doubt we'd be able to do this on the fans' money alone if it's purely a Kickstarter project

[xesf]

Nice way to start the weekend!!!

My stuff arrived

[xesf]

Looks awesome!! Can't wait to get my hands on mine

[Polaris]

Looks great !

[danielsan]

I also got the goodies today!

It was send with DHL postal service i did not get a notification lucky i was at home that time. Very pleased with al the content and the overal quality of the products. Especialy the music box is a fine piece of craftmanship(you can switch the front button to the leftside to stop the music). The only minor complain is the cd booklet its a bit to big for the case to close properly. Overall great content hope you reiceve your packets soon!

[elmuerte]

You didn't get an email? I received an email, and SMS, last Friday about a possible delivery Tuesday. This morning I saw on the DHL track&trace it was being delivered today.

Last time DHL did sent me a email when the package would arrive. Don't know what went wrong this occasion..

[Illumina]

Wicked bundle, elmuerte!

I received the CD along with the Sendell's coin a couple of weeks ago. I am in the midst of reading through the booklet with the dev commentaries and I must say, I feel compelled to revisit LBA again with a new perspective.

[xesf]

Great to see you here Illumina.

Yeah, the dev commentaries are great. You can feel it it was a dream team back then!!!

[LawrenceCole]

Uh so... I'm one of the kickstarter backers, got my CDs and booklet n everything and just found out about something that's making me scratch my head. I googled one of the new piano tracks "Metamorphosis of the Hamalayi" and I found a youtube album upload of the piano tracks except... there's two songs that are nowhere to be found in the CDs I received nor they were in the digital version of the soundtrack found on Wayo's website. The songs are titled "LBA's theme" and "Hamalayi's ice".
Wait... what? Am I missing something here?

[Polaris]

Huh, that's weird... Bought the digital edition, no trace their either.

[elmuerte]

Maybe it's just me, but the timing in those songs seems really wrong.

[Quetch]

I thought the same, I literally thought I had 2 tabs open at the same time with 2 different songs, I mean I get it's "off-beat" and it has an unusual (and ever-changing) time signature (cause that's what makes some people think they're bringing something new to the table), but those songs have waaaayyy to much of that... it's like those "jazz" players who play so many wrong notes "on purpose" it's not even fun no more

[Polaris]

Hmm...
I see what you mean, he isn't exactly off-beat, but he plays quite freely, yeah.

The messed-up sound quality doesn't help either, it blends different notes together, makes it harder to delimit them.

On the contrary, we have to be honest and objective, cause in the end we keep screaming for LBA3, while we should realize that this Kickstarter served as a small taste of how such a game might turn out to be. Initial big hype, we'd be happy we FINALLY got it after 25 years, but then we'd start to see it has many things that are not ok. Maybe the story's lacking, gameplay elements are not ok, sucky bugs, music, voices, overall atmosphere, etc.. We're not kids anymore and although we all want to revisit that stage in our life where LBA was this wonderland in which we were spending our days and nights, now as adults we must give honest feedback so that the guys know what went right and what went wrong. I for one, hope Phil would read this thread, as it would give him something to think about for the future. Yes, it's not pleasant when people criticize your work, but it's also not pleasant to hope for an orange and end up with a lemon. All in all it's constructive criticism and it's on our money... They came out of the woodwork with the idea of a project and promises about this and that, now we're coming out of the same woodwork, giving feedback on whether or not we were satisfied with how it all went and if we felt their promises were kept.

This comment is gold.

2 years later, not even LBA 3 is coming, instead, you (maybe might if conditions are favourable) get a remaster and a reboot!

"hope for an orange and end up with a lemon"

[Quetch]

Haha... thanks for revisiting my comment from so long ago

[bloodhound]

I haven't read all the replies, but for making a change it would seem most useful to directly voice the constructive criticism on their homepage or on their Discord channel. Of course it also doesn't hurt to rant here.
