Aldorlea's Night of the Stars Presentation (out soon!)

[kimo]

I like how you keep changing the date(from 1st to 9 to 12 june now) and nobody is even reacting anymore -like it's the most normal thing in the world )

Yep, but it's not like Indy's games are anything less than great.

Today is Kamehameha Day and therefore my birthday. Tomorrow's planned release is somewhat of a belated birthday present. I am going nuts waiting for this release and I will be very disappointed if tomorrow becomes another future date.

Happy Birthday and Kamehameha Day, Kimo. I hope you/we get your belated gift

BTW, the tears and gentle sobbing was a nice touch. Has anyone tried that before with Indi...do you think it might work?

Wait a minute : the first time I heard about kamehameha was from an anime called dragon ball Z... I thought it was just some chanting said by goku before he uses his energy beam attack...

Now you telling this is actually a real day ?

What does it simbolize ?

Kamehameha Day honors "King Kamehameha the First" who united the Hawaiian Islands. It is a Hawaii state holiday and was always a school holiday when I was a kid. "Uniting" the islands required him to defeat the Chiefdoms of each island via war. He was never able to defeat the King of Kauai and Niihau despite what some sources may say. The King of Kauai just agreed to combine forces with Kamehameha thereby avoiding being conquered.

There is a humorous story about how King Liholiho (Kamehameha II) invited the King of Kauai onboard his really neat british made ship and then kidnapped King Kaumualii from Kauai to secure the rule of Kauai by an "arranged" marriage to Kamehameha the First's widow.

Sorry, but I get carried away when talking about Hawaiian history. I worked in a place where I was allowed to read the original diaries of the much-maligned Unitarian missionaries who came to Hawaii in 1819 and their observations are incredible. I've even hiked to Kamehameha's "secret" war heiau on the Big Island where he was born. Talk about a "chicken skin" experience.

Man... your history is like a whole new Indy game... he can actually draw inspiration from it and make an entire game out of your info

I apreciate that you gave a lot of info because it's nice to see another person interested in my curiosities ... especialy now since I go through though times in real life and I feel alone and abandoned by everybody

[ZuluKat]

Are we still looking at release today ?

@MerryX and @ZuluKat
I guess it won't be released today after all. I think it's after Indy's bedtime now.

@Darkange
Yep, life can suck right now. But hang in there during Indy's next release and who knows how uplifting helping others succeed might make you feel.

I'm glad you appreciated my rather long explanation of Kamehameha Day, because I love the time period from when Capt. Cook "discovered" Hawaii in 1778 to the mid-1800's when King Kamehameha III initiated the great mahele. And then later in the 1890's when American businessmen and sugar cane growers overthrew the Hawaiian government and locked up Queen Liliuokalani.

It is one one of the most important 100 years in the timeline of Hawaii.

As for it being good story material, I agree. In fact, it is a loose premise of a game I have been developing with a polynesian theme. The main characters are Keoki (secretely a prince who has issues), Morley (a mind mage with issues), Mekotay (a battle monk with issues), Flash (a spy/rogue with no issues but lots of enemies), and King Kimo (yeah, I know but I couldn't help it.)

RPG games are a lot of work and require incredible dedication. I highly respect anyone who has even completed 1 game. And Indy's games are the best I have ever played, so I guess they are worth waiting for.

[darkange]

Right you are Kimo...

@Indy at least tell us what to expect if the release is delayed ...

Say its one month delayed or something... I can see you online - don't try to hide

[poshpaws]

I'm so excited waiting for it to be released. I keep popping back 4 or 5 times a day to see. Indy is teasing us! By the way Kimo I like your game idea. Hawaii always sounds so exotic. Being British I was interested to see what was Captain Cook's eventual fate and I found out this 'Was Captain Cook really eaten by cannibals? No - the Hawaiian Islanders who killed Captain Cook were not cannibals. They believed that the power of a man was in his bones, so they cooked part of Cook's body to enable the bones to be easily removed'.

[darkange]

Eating human bones stil sound like canibalism to me

[jkweath]

Figured I'd let everyone here know since we've known about it on Discord since this morning.

[D-Squall]

That's confusing...
He won't change the date but he need 2-3 more days??

So he changed dates, right?

[Stargazer]

He meant about the expected release date on the forum.

Oh I see

[darkange]

The point is the release will he this until the end of the week
