Please don't die, you haven't finished it yet! Plus the other stuff also looks amazing!!
Poor Giles. Where's Yak in all of this? Lol

[gilesgoat]

Yak is finishing MAVOL2, nearly there ( the one with moose life ).

Now "pray with me, PRAY" the hopefully last and good round of FQA should start TODAY, in 5 days time we should know how it went.

As long as they don't report "must fix" bugs that should be ok.

They will report at least 3 NON-must fix bugs, one is "the game contains too many strobing colours and flashing images".

That's 3 times already I am replying "that is the nature of the game".

This one HAS to be the right one.

"that is the nature of the game"

Oh, no. That is... The Nature Of The Beast.

sorry

This is what worries me. I have a distaste for generic fps but Sony keeps putting em on psn ! I should be able to play what I choose without anyone else choosing for me.

Sony : Application Package PASSED QA

Yes .. YES !

So what now ?

Well ... now I still have to have it approved all the "Metadata Materials", which I am finishing and are 1 ton and a half of images, some videos, LOT of text, translations, various cracks and bits BUT at least it means "I am NOT going to touch any more anything else of the code, it's OK !".

ALSO, to be fair this is the EU version that's been passed, I yet have to sort out ( it's identical apart some 'codes' but it's still a separate process ) the USA version, reasons I haven't done it "before/simultaneously" was to avoid to have "double bug reports" and "if it's wrong here is wrong there too" so now that EU is "passed" I can re-submit it as "USA" ( there should be a faster process in place ).

Theorectically "I should pass at first go" because it's already been approved in a place .. in theory .. there's no guarantee USA can not find "something else they don't like" or such but it should not.

So in all and all this process I had to go through was just 3 times, first time failed for some little shit, second time failed for some new little shit, third time failed with a shit that looked little and took me 2 weeks of swear & despair to fix it out, turns out "it was some little really nasty shit"

But .. it PASSED ..

The fact it takes some time is that FQA .. takes some time to be done, then every "something does not go" takes me at least 1 week to fix it all and RE-TEST it all before to re-send it again so overall each "round" takes at very least 2 weeks sometime bit more, then all this been done with "various things in the middle" you can see how time passes fast.

Anyway I can't wait for you to finally enjoy it "soon in a PSN store close to you" it really takes A LOT of endurance to go through all this

.. and more hair in the head .. to rip the off .. and a desk with more space .. to hit the head on ..

[Jamesac]

Congratualtions!

[WiteWulf]

Can't wait lads, *really* looking forward to this

[r1ckyrock]

To quote an old game which I'm sure no-one here has ever heard of...

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Well done, Giles. That has so made my Thursday.

[ozzzy189]

Finally! Congratulations. Something to tear me away from the binding of isaac! Can't wait.

20:45

I started this morning "with that form" thikning that "sure by first afternoon ALL is done" ...

NO !

.. then I got weird errors ..

Which I have not a clue about why ...

Then I tried with 3 different web browsers ..

Still errors ..

Then I just opened a "support request" about "why do I get ?" ..

.. it continues ...

[gilesgoat]

AMEN ! AMEN !

After a series of swearwords and things that probably granted me another 100 years in hell or so I managed to complete the form by using TWO different web browsers ( 1/2 of the form works in one and the other 1/2 works in the other ).

So now "potentially everything ready for publication" after all the "materials" will be verified and approved by FQA, once that is all done and found ok it means "the game is ready to hit the PS4 shop".

We'll let you know when that happens !

[gilesgoat]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH

I tought I understood all the "Guidelines" and read correctly all things ...

Please remove the game name from the Product Page Background Image thanks.
Ensure the banners are 300kb or less thanks.
Ensure the Store Hero is 3 layers only; background, character and logo thanks.

Oh well ... at least those are quick to fix ...

I never yet managed to get it right the first time ...

[edit] - and yet this are only '3 things wrong' over quite a LOT of images/materials.
