freewheel Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Now that copies are out there (more than just the people who bought at PRGE and who will never open their sealed copies), time to hunt the easter eggs. There are quite a few bonuses and alternate modes coded into the game, and I'm curious who can stumble upon one first. I will not be giving hints for right now, because one of them should be found soon enough if people experiment very much. Although I *am* curious how obtuse I made all of this Oh and in case anyone isn't aware, Deserter Bus is ECS-enhanced for better audio fidelity.

Utopia Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Got mine and was super impressed with the fast postage which is a lot quicker than packages from the US. Thanks Gary for ALL the extras, how much can you stuff into one box? Now back to that ice road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Thanks Gary for ALL the extras, how much can you stuff into one box? Now back to that ice road! I made some treats up for the testers You found a nasty bug in one of the Easter eggs at literally the last minute, so you're more than welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freewheel Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Shilling the game, just cuz it's the "big week" in Desert Bus land. Anyone who hasn't paid for their copy yet, or is on the fence about a copy - please pay soon I'm gonna try to wrangle up as much of the current profit on the game as possible, and make a big donation to the charity drive towards the end. Hopefully when they're actually playing it on the Intellivision, live, in front of 4000+ viewers (seriously) if we can just get a console up and running for them in time. This all wraps up on Friday-ish and it would be sooo cool to toss a buncha cash while the spotlight it on the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) The Air-Bus has reached it's destination. Thanks a lot freewheel. Looking forward to the next Verisimulator. Edited November 15, 2016 by Intymike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroAl Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Payment sent. Sorry for the late response. RetroAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Added an ECS to get the full experience out of the game...ehem...simulator. Made my first test drive. To pick up my phone making the screenshot was enough to let the bus overheat and it broke down. Lucky me, the towing service was nearby! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks for the payments everyone It's gonna be cool to shovel a bunch of money to the charity this week, in conjunction with the "big" charity drive. Brown ECS looks cool. I gotta get me one of those ECS only helps Deserter Bus. Hopefully the overlay makes it obvious what it does (the button does something regardless of ECS being attached or not).

freewheel Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Well guys, the Big charity drive is almost done - probably will end sometime tomorrow night (it all depends on how much money they raise). I'm hoping to get a shout out for Inty DB, maybe some screen time if they run out of things to do. Crossing my fingers that it generates at least a few more sales, because I'm getting to the point where I'm gonna start shoveling money into the charity. I'm actually going to jump the gun a little and send a bunch tomorrow, just to line up with the big show. I know I'll sell enough copies eventually that I'm comfortable going into a hole temporarily. There are only a couple of serials under 100 left, so now's your last chance if you wanted a "low" number! Nobody's reported on Easter Eggs yet. I may have to start dropping hints - but I h8 doing that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 So - with much thanks to a certain donor (cough cmart cough), I managed to put together a nice Inty bundle including a copy of IntyDB and some other games, and the DBfH people are auctioning it off right now. Sometimes Ebay prices are stupid, well this is much worse: Currently $380! None of this would have been possible without all of you, so thanks yet again to everyone for the support. There's a lot more money going to Child's Play in the near future, but this is a heck of a good start 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
