April Fools Prank

Post by **Trestkon** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 5:02 am

Just thought I'd make this so we don't forget...like we usually do:p

I believe we decided earlier that our prank would be that we're porting TNM to the X-Box (or Xbox 360). We'll come up with some semi-believable way that we're doing it, and produce some screenshots with a crappy looking HUD. We had an MSN convo a while ago where we came up with some 'features' that the X-Box version would have, we'll dig those up.

I dunno... Might get some people's hopes up?

Hah, I think not. It's so unrealistic, if they really get fooled by it, they deserve the disappointment.

Why not make the April Fool's joke that we are going to translate the mod into 5 different languages, WITH full voice acting for each language. This may delay the mod for another 1.5 years or so, but we think it's worth the effort for all our international fans out there. Oh, and there will only be one download featuring all the voice clips...maybe about a gig or so.

Then we could record some clips in Danish, etc... as "examples" of what we're planning to do.

Nice one, Grub:) I think I want to go a little wackier, though.

My new thought is to just make it so odd that everyone will know it's fake, allowing use to make it as funny as possible.

ex: Say TNM was too complicated, so we're "streamlining" the game an turning it into a side scroller (use a pic of the platform game) and graft on a huge new "user friendly" HUD and say your goal it now to collect Radishes (which we can insert in the screenshot, much like coins in Mario). We could also have a whole list of new "features" that we've included to "streamline" gameplay.
