From shaz's signature ("Coming June AND July 2009" ) , it's most likely 2 chapters released in consecutive months.

What WAS AV3 is now the first 2 chapters of AV3. But there will be more.

So the first 2 chapters have already been made (which is why they're going to be released so close together). They both just need to be tested again, as they've only been tested as a complete game, not as individual chapters. The focus will be on chapter 1, which will be released in early June, and then we'll work on finalising and testing chapter 2, which we plan on being released sometime in July

This is definitely going to make things easier for my cubs as they have had to restart Aveyond 1 a few times due to losing files, changing computers, etc. and it has taken them years to finish. In fact, they are still working on it, but are losing enthusiasm. I plan to help them finish it as soon as summer break begins.

@momma22smallbears: I hope your 2 small bears are happy then after the release

Me likey! Means more games for me

Is this a new release system Amanda came up with? Shuud patent. Cus iz Brilliant!

So, if it has been tested as a whole game, why not release it as one and release the intended AV4 & AV5 as the subsequent chapters, instead? I still have reservations about this "chapters" thing but whatever... i'll just have to wait and see and will support the Aveyond games.

@Marphlets

No, Amanda didn't come up with this system. It's been done before. You'd have to search around to see who came up with this idea.

So chapter 1's in early June, while the 2nd chapter will be released sometime in July? And there are more chapters, consecutive to the first and second? System's alright. More computer sittings for me, more thrilling...

It seems like a lot of people have reservations about the whole chapter thing. Im not really sure about it either but im keeping an open mind.
The other games have been amazing and im sure it will all work out.
And chapters give me more to look forward to since I always feel a little twinge of disappointment when i finish a game

Personal theory:

The system was invented as a dastardly plot by evil socerers, to make casual gaming even more addictive to the general public. Then, one day when the entire world is too busy playing the forty-second installment of Aveyond 3, the evil sorcerers will take over the internet and sieze control of the entire universe! *pant,pant*


Oh no! That means. . .Amanda is one of them!

... forty-second installment of Aveyond 3 ...

*faints*

i see on the website that it stats june 2009 but does anyone know exactly what day?

No one knows, even Amanda. We just started beta testing Chapter 1 less than 48 hours ago.

She HOPES to release Chapter 1 in early June, and chapter 2 sometime in July. However, it will all depend on how many bugs, etc, we find, and how long it takes to find the causes & fix them.

I'm more than willing to wait however long it takes. I'd rather have a bug free game than a rushed release full of bugs. I recently had that problem with another game I bought and now I can't play it until it gets thoroughly beta tested again and updated.

I think your idea for Chapters is marvelous, Amanda! It's pure genius! I can't wait to play the first chapter... seems like it's been forever since AV2 came out! Excellent!

I have a feeling its going to end up coming out right before my finals and then Im not going to be able to resist and wont get any studying done...

*looks at own mountain of revision work*

*blush*

@Adelaide: Haha, me too. Aveyond 1 was the first game I played, and I literally cried when it ended. Because it seemed as if the only thing I lived for is gone now. No, really.

@marphlets: And it's up to the Bowerbuff Boys to save the day! Plossom, Plubbles and Pluttercupp have dedicated lives to fighting crime and the forces of ebil Shoo, stupid Bowerbuff girls. Don't try to prevent Amanda's awesome plot to take over the world. *hypnotized by Aveyond 3*

That's a good idea...I'll consider it as a win-win for both parties...

Anyway, i hope aveyond 3 is available here in our country, the same date as its release.

I'm so really gonna buy it...whatever its cost..seriously...

@silver: It's the internet. You'll get it at exactly June 5th.
