Bugmuncher: hehe
Bugmuncher: at least it isn't Cythera.
HKtheKestrel: hey!
HKtheKestrel: I liked Cythera Posted Image
HKtheKestrel: it had, and I quote, "More bugs than a dead corpse"
HKtheKestrel: but it was still enjoyable Posted Image
Bugmuncher: You didn't have to test it for 2 years...
HKtheKestrel: hehe
Bugmuncher: And the corpses were quite buggy before release.
HKtheKestrel: you one of the testers for Cythera, huh?
HKtheKestrel: hehe
Bugmuncher: You could say I was a tester.
Bugmuncher: I'm listed in the credits as "Corpse Abuser"
HKtheKestrel: lol
Bugmuncher: Cuz I found the corpse daisy chain bug
Bugmuncher: and I made NPCs sleep with corpses
Bugmuncher: and I used corpses as purses
Bugmuncher: and I made the corpses carry each other, causing the same infinite loop that occurs in nature when kangaroos jump into each others' pouches.
HKtheKestrel: hehe
Bugmuncher: And I stored them in my sock drawer
Bugmuncher: and I put them on the dinner table
HKtheKestrel: ...that sounds like fun Posted Image

amusing, huh? Posted Image

I'm pretty sure Cythera's (being about 10 mgs of data) beta wasn't quite 2 years. As EVN's was only about 15 months (80 mgs).

I regard Cythera as a public beta Posted Image.

No one can. (fish) Cythera is full of bugs, as said before…

See, that's why I'm so lucky. I've barely started playing, therefore not subjected to all the bugs, but I still know almost everything about it! Posted Image

Pop-pop.....is that actually still around? I think the beta testers are getting kind of fed up with it.

At this rate, we might actually see it! It'll take a little bit, but the latest news is they're nearing some of the final betas.
