Indeed, I think Grundislav is getting severely put off making more BJ games with the pestering that he's been getting.

Sadly Ben Jordan 5 was lost in a hard drive crash, he's cancelled the entire series and is moving to the north pole.

I heard that Grundislav was taken in by a pack of kindly urban polar bears in Miami, and that he's started a new life in the polar bear community. Too bad they're not into adventure games.

I heard Grundislav went to a restaurant and ate all the food at the restaurant and they had to close down the restaurant.

Or he ate all the food but couldn't afford the bill; so he had work in the restaurant for whole life of him. It is why BJ5 is cancelled.

I heard Grundislav is taking the time to extend Ben Jordan 5 so that the main character accidently destroys the sun and kills all life, therefore there can never be another Ben Jordan game, and thus Grundislav can get some sleep.

Indeed, the part where Ben Jordan kills himself to come back as a zombie is such cliché, and it goes downwards from there!
Grundy removed the game after getting so much mail saying that the game sucked.
But you can still hear the download adress if you play  AGSPodQuest#13.mp3 (http://www.%20agspodquest#13,mp3) backwards. It's in the 6th minute of the show.

So, what if Ben Jordan 5 is cancelled indeed? Why do you have to keep asking? There are other games out there that you should play, or maybe even buy!
Title: Re: ben jordan 5 - will it EVER be releas'd

yes but IS it or ISNT it.
all these posts suggest something completely different.

Well, how about you try reading between the lines.

And while you're at it, please take note of the three golden rules, in particular number 2:

2. Post in a mature manner. Remember, the minimum age here is 16 - if you're unable to act that age, don't post.

Post by: Secret Fawful on Sun 29/01/2006 18:56:49
Well, Grundislav was about to post the link to the game, but then Lupin the 3rd showed up and in a daring master plan, stole it and sold it on the black market for more than 2 bucks.
Title: Re: ben jordan 5 - will it EVER be releas'd
Post by: edmundito on Sun 29/01/2006 18:57:04
This is also about breaking golden rule number 1 of posting: Is your post interesting, helpful or funny? If not, don't post it.

We all know the status of ben jordan because grundislav already said what happened on the GiP Thread: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=20883.msg299752#msg299752

So, behave and wait like the rest of us.

Post by: HillBilly on Sun 29/01/2006 19:03:29
BUT JANUARY IS NOW!!! I WANT BEN JORDAN 5!! MY LIFE REVOLVES AROUND THIS!!! WITHOUT HIS EXTREME MANLINESS AND ROTOSCOPE ANIMATION, I CANNOT LIVE I TELL YOU!!! NOT ANOTHER DAY!!!!

But, well, uh... I think we should wait until Grundislav is ready. I'm sure he has a good reason for keeping us on hold, like the music not being done.
Title: Re: ben jordan 5 - will it EVER be releas'd
Post by: Hammerite on Sun 29/01/2006 19:03:49
so its not cancelled then.
okey doke.

Actually, when Ben Jordan 5 is released, I will then realise I have only played the first one, and put playing the fifth one on hold until I have played the other 3, by that time he would have made Ben Jordan 9.
Title: Re: ben jordan 5 - will it EVER be releas'd
Post by: Ishmael on Sun 29/01/2006 20:12:34
I've never played a Ben Jordan game, and apparently I should keep this line. They seem to cause severe mental problems...

That's not true!
I had my mental problems already before I played Ben Jordan.
This reminds me... I have to take my pills, the voices are comming back...

However, is BJ5 really that bad or is it just some incredibly bad and sick joke?
I just can't believe it!

I think we should forget about Ben Jordan 5, until it gets released.Ã,  I know it's a very good game,Ã,  but posting about BJ5 all the time won't make the "creating process" go any faster.

I also think that it was a bad idea for Grundislav to predetermine the number of Ben Jordans to be released.Ã,  Because of that, people won't stop poking him with a stick until the number of games indicated are complete.

BTW: Is it just me or did Grundislav change from 4-9 Ben Jordans to 4-8 Ben Jordans in the "Grundislav Games" part: http://www.grundislavgames.com/bj/index.htm

I'm still amazed that he's announced there will be NINE Ben Jordan games. I mean, that's a BIG promise! Like a 3-5 year promise! What if he get's bored with Ben Jordan and wants to do something else?

Just promise to make 8 games, and see how long it takes for people to start bugging you.

Yeah, even bigger than the promise, the game would be ready in October the 24th.
Come to think of it, he didn't say what year!
Maybe he can still keep his promise!Ã,  ;)
Well, I'm looking forward to October 24th, 2020.
No, just kidding! No offense, Grundislav!

Kinoko, you want to be hounded?
Here you go: Finish Gift of Aldora as soon as possible, so you can start working on Cirque de Zale 2!

Yes, every time someone posts a thread bugging him about BJ5, Grundislav reduces the number of games in the series by one.

Hmm... I suppose that since this has happened a lot, that he will deny the existence of episodes 3 and 4 (the best episodes!)
Title: Re: ben jordan 5 - will it EVER be releas'd

If this goes on he'll probably deny his own existance. Or if that has already happened? :o

No! I've changed my mind! Come back, zinc! Come baaaack!

(Actually, I have been thinking about CdZ2 lately, would it be death if I tried to work on that at the same time as GoA? Surely.)

Look, my MonkeyGames Corporation has a legal dispute Grundislav Endutainment. This is the real reason why all of this is happening, because the Judge can't decide who owns the rights!

So, by the end of all these, you'll either get Ben Jordan: Wizard Warrior II or Ben Jordan 5. Just wait.

The first six minutes. The last six minutes contains the part where Zooty kills a virgin monkey. It only works if you glue a silver dollar coin on your mouse though.
