Christ don't orgasm all over my posts please..
More good news for anticipating MBF fans:
- Voice acting has been complete for MBF. Some of you may find it rather...exciting... *wink* - Several new maps have been added into the game. - New screenshots and videos are uploading to the internet and we should have them on our website soon this week. - Several developers at BEGCC have pitched in their efforts to create maps! (No more Author: Aayrl spam!)
There is of course some other news we'd like to bring to your attention:
- Our music director is on leave until late January 2009. He is currently on a business trip in Italy for GE. - One of our graphic artists has also been away for quite some time from the BEGCC company. He's been looking for a new job after his old company went bankrupt earlier in 2008. - One of our lead level designers Thomas Miller has recently moved from Vermont to Florida this summer and is currently overwhelmed with paperwork and schoolwork over his head. Hopefully we'll have him back in early September.
So, there you have it folks. We're working as intended here to get MBF finished and on the way.

Yes good idea Pablo, perhaps they can help out fill in some parts for the missing members of the team, that is if that idea doesn't have any "mishaps" or any problems...

Well, Lightzypher knows of the existance of the forums here, and honestly I don't think he was interested that much in the game >.> I also have another folk currently working, Blackblaster, but he's again not into the whole forum thing. Maybe i'll blackmail them to say hello or something. Anywho: Your fantasy has come true Matan... ~Aayrl

If anyone else is lost like dushine.. ..Foo-Foo marble is the make-believe koosh koosh pillow that is shaped and colored like an MBG ball that I believe matan makes love to in his bed every night. I'm going to make one of these at an online shop if anyone is interested.. (grin) ANYWHO!! Important Notice: The Development Page has been uploaded to the MBF website this evening. You can now keep up to date with important changes to the MBF game, but you will still be unable to download BETA builds even if you have the BETA client. We plan to either release a demo, or keep releasing BETA builds. We're still unsure of what we're doing, so please bear with us. In the meantime, you can see current and past updates at the following link: mbfdomain.googlepages.com/MBFWebsite-Development.htmlEnjoy. ~Aayrl

Long Anticipated Update viva la Forums! For starters, you can keep up to date with daily Beta Build releases (We may not have updates *daily*, we update when we change or add anything to our main server of MBF) at the MBF website: mbfdomain.googlepages.com/MBFWebsite-Development.htmlRemember the three bad news points from my last post? One of our BEGCC members, Blackblaster, has shown myself and taught a few of us (including myself and Lightzypher) how to use a new classy Music Creator program. Several new songs are being added to the game daily. CyberFox was kind enough to show me how to create "decent" looking menu buttons, as well as some other photoshop tricks. Major GUI changes are underway. Tom Miller (Lightzypher) Joined the forums not too long ago and is leading a steady life. Still no new levels from him, but he is working hard as intended ;P Anywho: Most recent updates include: An all new GUI look! The Main Menu and Play Menu have been revamped, and the Profile Menu is well underway! (Thanks to Spy and Matan for additional Coding Support). New Menu Music as well as Game Music is in the game and working as intended! All music files heard in the game are also being converted to a .mp3 format for a final release of this game, so you can bring the sounds of Marble Blast Fubar everywhere you go on your Ipod or Phone! The TOKEN Code has *finally* been fixed (I found the mistake...hurrah!). The Tokens are now functioning as intended and work on the currency code has begun yet again. I'm hopefully going to be able to snap some new pictures AND a spiffy video for this weekend as well as work some more on the Website and Profile features. As stated above, you can keep up to date with our Beta Build Notes on the MBF Development Website Page (Linked above). Hope the Good News keeps anticipated fans drooling for new content even more. ~Aayrl

Another quick update! The Media/Gallery page is being heavily updated today, as well as some other pages of the website (That are currently uploaded). I decided to post this so MBF Beta users could see what I have to tell them: Any video on YouTube with the "Marble Blast Fubar" tags have been added to a video playlist viewable on the Media/Gallery page at: mbfdomain.googlepages.com/MBFWebsite-MediaGallery.htmlIf I missed a video, Please let me know! I'd be happy to add it to the User-Submitted BETA list. EDIT: New Photos have been uploaded to the website. Enjoy.. ~Aayrl

The music fits MBF's theme very nicely, and the level is spectacular. Good work!

Achievements? Yes? No? The Answer is Yes. The question has gone around BEGCC for quite some time now, and seeing MBP Release a small set of achievements made us jump onto the "Yes" trail. Recently, in the past few days, we've been working on bugfixing some coding (And nearly crashing our data server in the process), and were able to confirm possibilities of several new types of achievements. That was the final decision, and MBF Achievements were born. You can head over to the Front Page of the MBF Website for more information. Also introduced with Achievements will be a points system, based on the difficulty of the achievement. These points, known respectively as Excellence Points, will be used to purchase cosmetic upgrades, such as graphics, new musics and UI, and possibly some level packs. More information on Excellence Points will be given out towards the completion of achievements. Stay updated at the MBF Website, and enjoy the titles, I know Matan did ~Aayrl

What!?!? Playing MBF for one year?? Nobody will ever get that achievement or the 1 month or the 1 week one. The one day sound also very hard but vvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy easy compared to those ones. Remove all of those except the 1 day one please. It's not released yet and I'm not a beta tester and I already know that it's not possible to do that.

Mkay, Explain how Matan is so good at Marble Blast.
--The Week, Month, and Year Game Play time is accumulative, not a consecutive unit. This means as you play MBF from day to day, the minutes add up. You will eventually reach these achievements. It may take you months, even years to complete them, but it is entirely possible to occur.

Wow awesome modification Aayrl! So many achievements some exceptionally harder than the others, damn Lukyo how silly can you get (no offense) no one would do that, Pablo good point . Aayrl don't forget the records, you haven't updated them for over a long time and my name (s) should be around there.

Pablo is the one who is silly, actually. He deserves this: very funny Pablo. Anyway, it's possible as Aayrl says, so it's OK to play for a few years and get a swwwwwwwwwwweet 500 points. Last thing: When is the game going to be released?
