An early holiday present?

A little mouse told me that a certain site will be rounding up some sort of major announcement tomorrow. I wonder what it could all be about?

I hope everyone is pleasantly surprised by whatever it is

Well, it's tomorrow.

The birdie didn't tell me exactly when today it would happen. Yes, we're 15 minutes in right now... but I kinda think it might be a few more hours at least

Oh crap. I thought it was before midnight.

some one stole your thunder! i.e. Lik Sang

DcSteve · Post by **DcSteve** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 11:06 am

I think lik-sang was the mouse-birdie. Anyway, thank you very much Dan for releasing this because this is the first Goatstore product that I am buying (already pre-ordered). The demo of Cool Herders was amazing, but a full upgraded and well featured release is something ive been looking forward to for awhile. Im gonna convince all my friends to buy this. This is gonna be CA's best selling game by far.

Oh, just wait... there's more coming (as long as I get the rest of the peices in time... holy busy week!)

By the way, Cool Herders = HarmlessLion and Feet of Fury = Cryptic Allusion, LLC. Two different developers

Of that thing I am certain! Can't wait!

Imerion · Post by **Imerion** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:07 pm

Now I found the news! So it was Cool Herders! Extremely cool! Ill pre-book it asap!

goatdan · Post by **goatdan** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 5:33 pm

Imerion, did you see the rest of my news? That isn't all the news that should be coming today

I need one more piece put in place, and the other announcement will come (along with the Cool Herders announcement on the GOAT Store site).

Imerion · Post by **Imerion** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 4:21 pm

Yes, in my mailbox today is a newsletter, linking to the excellent publishing page. As you said, I will keep this one bookmarked in my favorites folder!

goatdan · Post by **goatdan** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:24 pm

Thanks

That was the other big announcement, as we have FINALLY got it together and looking good. I really wanted to assemble a team of great journalists to help us do things for it too, and I know that we MORE than exceeded our expections on that one. We're still working on a proper backend for this system, which should be in place soon, but we expect to update the Publishing pages on at least a weekly basis, if not a daily one.

It also will include awesome tools for all of you developers out there wanting to do a release with us, including for the first time ever proper tracking tools for your games.

I'm hoping to get some Cool Herders screenshots up tonight, and over this weekend Zach Meston (who wrote some of the guides in our Print Material section, by the way

) should have a large preview of the game up.

I'm willing to do reviews of the games on my site. (I started doing reviews of all new DC games last year)
