We've Launched

So we took down that closed sign for a good sprucing up, but just as our chief lacquerer turned his back, a dark shape had snatched it off his workbench. Darn those jujus! Considering the circumstances (and the dearth of specialty signage planks), there is only one solution available to us….

It's Launch Time!!! Let the games begin! 

What does this mean for you? That you never have to post a "When Will It Open" thread again. That those pesky Ur withdrawals are a thing of the past. That Goodnight Groddle will live on in your memories (and music blocks). That it's time for a whole new adventure, and we have each and every one of you to thank for making this day possible.

  • Well I'm sure congratulations are in order, I just wish it didnt leave such a bitter taste in my mouth that the media was told, but us loyal testers were left in the dark.

    Why tell us it was another test? We could have had a real party to celebrate like we do for all other much less important occasions...I feel so disappointed right now.

  • I'm so glad for the launch today, but I was surprised, because I thought it would be later today. I think it caught other people by surprise too, because from the forums, it looks like a number of people were racing to the bank to deposit, to try to pick up the beta subscription deals and missed it, including a friend of mine who came back minutes too late. Understandable if nothing could be done...but...WOULD be nice if the deal could be extended to say..dunno...end of the day...maybe to...celebrate the launch? Just saying... >.<

    WHOO LAUNCH DAY!!!

  • Congrats to all of you who have worked so hard to create this magical world! Thanks for making the best beta-testing experience I've ever had. I look forward to enjoying your creative, quirky, brilliant loveliness for many years to come.

    Now I have to go write a paper. But it's okay. Because now there is Glitch forever and ever. (I have to just keep telling myself that til this paper is done!)

  • Eh. Yay but annoyed because if this had taken place later today I would've had the chance to buy a subscription at beta price. But nope, life hates me. Now I'll never have a pink heart next to my name. And I can't even play (on my iPhone right now) because I have a stupid 2hour long class to go to. FML.

  • Did anybody happen to video record the opening? I missed it and would have loved to see it. And yeah, I thought I missed the Beta special but for some reason I left the tab open in my browser and found a backdoor entry to the Beta price - I count it up as a miracle. I, too, am disappointed that we didn't get advanced warning about when the deadline was going to end because I spent about twenty minutes in tears because of the fact that my college classes kept me from a) getting money, and b) getting to the bank. The email did give some fair warning but was nondescript about a concrete deadline. I truly count it as a miracle that I was still able to get that price.

    However, I'm glad to see the months and months of preparation and hard work finally lead to a momentously happy occasion. Just wish we'd had some advance notice as well so I could have been online to see it. XD

  • Awesome work. I feel so much more relaxing playing, knowing the game isn't going to close and then have to wait days to play again.

    Thanks for all the wonderrful new areas too.

  • If anyone did video the opening I'd love to see it, as I had no idea it was happening and arrived about five minutes too late! I am completely over the moon that my song was used to launch Glitch into live/orbit!

    If you want to listen to the song again, or you missed it, it's called 'Please Let Me Go Back To Groddle', it's by meeeeee, and you can listen here. I am very grateful to everyone who has said nice things about it. :)

  • Congrats, Tiny Speck, on a fantastic launch. I've been reading the reviews (thanks to your comprehensive tweeting) and I'm so happy for you.

    The nice part of that "Game Closed" sign being gone for good is... I don't feel pressured to play Every! Waking! Hour! Like, it's ok to take a break and read a book or maybe GET SOME WORK DONE, because Glitch will still be there when I'm ready for it. Much more relaxed. I like it!

  • Also, I am so very much loving the GNG Musicblock. A good in-game friend gave me one, and I'm unashamed to say that it *still* makes me misty, even now that hearing it doesn't mean the game's going away. It's just a wonderful, lovely song. And now I can listen to it whenever I like!

  • Huzzah! Now I won't have to come home from school and DROP EVERYTHING because Glitch is open. Or calculate skill learning times to maximise efficiency through the breaks. I can take it at my own pace.

    Onwards and upwards!

  • Congrats! for all your hard work. The opening screen is awesome. I really enjoyed being part of beta testing. This game is already a success with us and I'm sure the rest of the world will love it too. Hugs
