Haha awesome. I see why you end the video so quick.. I suspect Tilo whipped out a can of whoopass on the guy who strummed the lute without asking.. lol
weren't there gloves for the outfit? opted to skip them?
Nice to see all the traffic in this and other pics. Gawd I missed out on such an awesome day.
are you guys planning on coming to the US for E3 or one of the many con's we have when it get closer to launch? I can set you up with someone to assist with booth graphics and banners/stuff (including giveaway and sellable swag) if you like. Plus I will have to fly wherever it is and see ya'll if at all possible.

I figure if they do an artbook it will likely be included in a special Collector's edition first and then made available to buy separately after the game's initial release. But I wholly agree, a physical artbook would be amazing. I loved the one I got with The Elder Scrolls Online. Even if it wasn't a large hardback book, but a smaller "traveller's journal" I'd be happy. I'm also curious what other types of 'feelies' you might like to see with it.

We talked about this a bit back in the day when I first got here. You may want to check this old thread and possible chime in with examples or other suggestions!Varethas wrote:1. Please release an Art & Lore book. Preferably leather-bound, with a quill, a candle like Nicodemus' one in The Secret of NimH, and...*almost faints with gratitude*

@Seith, a paper Tilo sounds just fine! Rather exquisitely done as well, I'd say! I'm starting to see how Ghost of a Tale is kindred enough to me that I'm going to eventually make a 'supported this story and it's creators as much as I could' collection - maybe have a little 'grove' somewhere on a bookshelf for it's special edition casing, collectibles and what have you - complete with a Badger of Baladhon 
Also, I hope it wasn't all too intense Seith - did you guys get the chance to wonder outside of Gamescom and enjoy Cologne's surrounds? Photo opportunities?

also @evilkinggumby, I'll totally check that thread out! I apologise for not noticing it earlier. I'm holding out for the collectible/limited/any and all editions pre-order announcement (and I don't even have an XBox One! I just wanna support the project ), completely conscious of course of the obvious prevailing priority of making the game in the first place, to the best it can be I'm certain that there would have been a flood of people googling, 'that game in the gamescom montage mouse cute secret of nimh awesome' in order to find and follow Ghost of a Tale's production. I expect this will be reflected in Facebook likes and Twitter tag counts

If these were available for pre-order at Gamescom exclusively, I would seriously have flown over O_O

If those were available at Gamescon exclusively, I would have cried for weeks.. lol Luckily that was not the case and most likely when a collector's edition IS announced, we'll all have fair chance of pre-ordering it.Varethas wrote:@evilkinggumby, @David and @Seith, I've replied to the Boxed Collector's Edition topic:

Cosmogonies just skyped this... it's a reaction to the GOAT trailer...

nice. they seem to truly get into it. Kind of bummer they insta-fergot the title by the end of it.. lol
@Deedlit... I'd love to see a teddy bear-sized plushie Tilo, hopefully in the fullness of time 
@EvilKing... yes there were gloves, but they mysteriously disappeared, which is puzzling because the rest of the outfit was untouched!
Though Seith hasn't committed to E3 or another conference, I'm fairly sure that we'll be there. If you can make it, that would be terrific!
@Varethas... We were really busy so we just got out on the first evening, while Seith and Stephane went to a dinner with Microsoft executives and a handful other indies. The rest of the GOAT team (Paul, Cyrille and me) took a look at the center of Cologne, where they have a wonderful cathedral and museums. We had pizza and a walk by the river... this part of Cologne is really nice, and the people we met were friendly and helpful! Cosmogonies (aka Cyrille) took this photo of the cathedral in the dark:

@David: I could so see Tilo scampering about a haunted old Rat Kingdom Cathedral...
I'm glad to see you enjoyed your stay there - had any of you ever (been) flown out to something like Gamescom before? also, if you know your games, that cathedral totally reminds me of Vagrant Story...

If you guys come to a conference here in the U.S. I'll try my hardest to be there. The skype thing didn't work for me, mostly because of the time difference.david wrote:Though Seith hasn't committed to E3 or another conference, I'm fairly sure that we'll be there.

I compose the music for Ghost of a Tale. Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremiahpena
@Varethas... yes, I could easily imagine Tilo scampering around a rat cathedral or temple, with a crypt... lots of cobwebs and dust because it isn't used much... or because it was built by another species before the rats took it over. (I suspect that the GOAT rats don'tt go to church often)
@Jeremiah... it would be terrific to have you with us at a conference next year. This will be much closer to the game launch, and likely to be more crucial to GOAT's success. I don't know Seith's plans at all, but here are the dates of the big events (mostly in the US) in 2015:
PAX South, Penny Arcade Exhibition South, Texas, USA, 23-25 January
GDC, Games Developers Conference, San Francisco, USA, 2-6 March incorporating:
-----IGS, Independent Games Summit, USA, San Francsico, USA, 2-3 March
-----IGF, Independent Games Festival, USA, 4-6 March
PAX East, Penny Arcade Exhibition East, Boston, USA, 6-8 March
E3, Electronic Entertainment Expo, Los Angeles, USA, 16-18 June
Comicon*, San Diego, USA, 8-12 July
Gamescom, Cologne, Germany, 5-9 August
PAX Prime, Seattle(?), August/September(?), USA, dates and location uncertain
TGS, Tokyo Games Show, Tokyo, Japan, 17-20 September(?), dates uncertain
Indiecade, Los Angeles(?), October(?), USA, dates and location uncertain
*Comicon is mainly a celebration of comics of course, but it has games section too so I included it for completeness and because the dates (at a stretch) dovetail with E3
Quite a lot depends on how quickly GOAT's development progresses but I'd say:
-35% probability for E3 in Los Angeles
-70% probability for Gamescom in Cologne (again)
-20% probability for Pax Prime in Seattle (location and dates unconfirmed ?)
-35% probability for Indiecade in Los Angeles (location and dates unconfirmed ?)
I'd guess that Seith will probably do Gamescom in Germany and one event in the US.

...and here's a piece on IndieHangover a few days ago: http://www.indiehangover.com/gamescom-t ... -of-a-tale
...as Gamescom comes to an end -late on the final evening- some fans borrow Tilo to take photos (well, his head anyway)
...we pack things up!
...and, with just about everything ready to go, here's a final photo of the lute leaning against Tilo's travelling box
