How come Yahtzee never added Poseidon 12 to his game list?

[David-kyo]

I'm guessing from all the negative reviews, and from that I think Yahtzee has strong sense of criticism towards himself, too, that it might have been deemed shit and removed. Today was the first time I heard about it, and I'd like to see what it is, but it's probably an abandoned project now. Must have been such a complex idea of a game that it exceeded the boundaries of AGS.

How come Yahtzee never added Poseidon 12 to his game list?

Because it was a forum-only incomplete beta, perhaps?

[Zazzo]

I'd like to see what it is

Visit the Poseidon 12 Beta Testing Thread for all the old updates. Yahtzee's last 'giving up' message is on the second-to-last page, and the last released downloadable version is on the very last page.

Twas a pity, really. It was a good little universe that was created, I for one enjoyed betatesting it immensly.

[David-kyo]

Just tried it, and I like it a lot, even though I couldn't really get ahead in it a lot, and the first part is a bit repetitive. It's a pity Yahtzee got bored with it.

[Zazzo]

I wish I'd had the chance to try one of the older versions where it wasn't as tough to get ahead.

[Pudding]

Just tried it as well. I like it, definitely, despite the few bugs I found. Too bad it'll never be finished.

[David-kyo]

What do you mean, never finished? Isn't it finished? I'm asking a serious question here, since I'm still in June in the game, doesn't the game have an ending or what?

[Zazzo]

Yahtzee stated in his last post in that thread that he considered the last release completely finalized if nobody found any bugs in it. I guess everybody was tired of bug-testing it by that point.

[David-kyo]

Well then, it IS finished, it's just not in the Games section, but in the forums. So what? You can still play it through, no limitations!

[Pudding]

Well, I meant finished as in no bugs at all, but the way it is at least it's playable. Meh, s'all good.

[David-kyo]

Interesting thing I came across. Whenever I go to bed or have a shower in the game, the character doesn't get out of it when I press OK. However, it is mentioned in the changes.txt that comes with the game that these bugs have been corrected. Did I misunderstand something?

EDIT: It doesn't really screw the game up, it's just annoying that I can only leave the room by using the map.

Have you tried going to bed, pressing ok and then having a shower? You'll see double!

Of course I have, that's part of the problem. The reason I'm asking this is because there seems to be something in the changes text about this shower-bug having been corrected (it says in the gym, but I'm getting that bug as well).

I spoke to soon without having seen the stuff, it IS a good game, maybe a little bit repetitive... Gave me inspiration to make a similar type game in RPG Maker.

By the way, how can I get my hands on a gun? I'm a med-scientist with no morals at all, and I'm itching to do some assassinating stuff. I'll start with the blonde chick.
