Hey guys, I know this a ways off but I figured I'd ask anyway, but what do you think will happen with Video Games Live? They had their first concert on July 6, 2005 IOTL and it was headed up by Tommy Tallarico. Given that CD quality audio was popularized much earlier than OTL maybe Tommy or someone else can get this idea off the ground much earlier? I went to one of these concerts actually and it was an enjoyable experience for sure. :) It'd be interesting to see what TTL does in terms of Video Game Music concerts if they do try for something like that.

(Also just curious, has anyone else been to a VGL concert?)

Hmm... that could be something to think about for 2004. I know Tommy Tallarico's not quite as busy since Alex Stansfield has taken his place on Judgment Day, so he may have more time to organize something like that sooner.
 
I thought people on this thread would enjoy this news:



The right the Nintendo Playstation is working, I mean there's only one and it only has two homebrew games, but still.

Probably coincidence, but the irony of an SNES-CD prototype being discovered after Player Two: Start began is kind of funny.

And that was the first one, who started the whole mess, the second one(with 32bit seems make after nintendo started the superfx) seems will be forever lost in story, anyway thanks Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson to keep that prototype alive.
 
Just curious will there be achievements/trophies/awards in the 7th gen consoles? It's for the games I'm working on for the timeline.
 
So how much of my ideas for WoW have you decided to use?

Also I might have a post on Hearts of Iron II when we get to 2005. Let's say it's more in the vein of the Kaiserreich mod than the OTL version of Hearts of Iron II.

We will discuss about WoW when back from hiatus.....so stay tuned.

Umm can you elaborated that one more? HoI2 was basic but very well crafted, how from kaiserreich would influenced it?

Right now we haven't started working on World of Warcraft just yet, so we're not entirely sure how much of your ideas we'll end up using. We'll probably work on it during the hiatus, we'll send you a DM as soon as we start working on it.
 
So will Cave Story or its ITTL equivalent show up soon?

Cave Story will debut as an indie PC game in 2004, as IOTL.

Does Voodoo Vince get released ITTL?

Voodoo Vince is butterflied.

Speaking of butterflies, I've started compiling the 2005 list of notable games, and I've noticed something: only about 40% of the games so far are from established OTL franchises. More than half of the most notable games are from completely original franchises TTL. So 13 years after the original PoD, more than half of the software landscape has been affected by the butterflies.

How's this shake out to you guys? Think that's about how it would realistically go? Would you guys prefer we try to incorporate more OTL franchises? I've always believed that for the sake of realism, more and more original franchises would have to be established, but I know it takes away from the familiarity people have with the timeline to see so many beloved franchises butterflied away. While many of the big ones are still around and kicking, a lot of the smaller ones have been zapped out of existence. So give us some input on this if you've got an opinion, we don't want to drive people away who want to see their faves :)

It's normal to have orginal franchiste after all it's been 13 years after the POD . But you can't butterfield either AC or Mass Effect (i can accept minor butterflies) !
Otherwise i promise to show you the skill of frenchmen at doing a bloody revolution :p
 
And also certain ideas of TV shows will still be around after the pod.

Like for example, Degrassi: The Next Generation, where even though it was started 9 years after the pod, the Idea has been floating around Epitome for most of the 1990's before DTNG started since Degrassi High just ended before the POD date of Sept '93.
