It's not that you haven't been able hatshepsut, it's because it was too soon.
I spent the last two years asking questions about English releases of Phobos and I never had replies.
This time I've been just lucky; they replied because it was already scheduled Smile

I've been after getting myself a copy of Phobos 1953 ever since around the time King AlienBZ died (2008), or did I say this already?

That is probably the reason struzzo. I'm just happy that you got news from them to give us Smile

Excellent news on the English release Struzzo. Thanks for letting us know about your communications with the developer. cheers

Phobos looks good, great to see an English translation and release in the near future. <yay>

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Mon Jun 04, 2012 1:56 am

Any news yet on the English release (and if it will be sold thru Amazon.com)?

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:21 pm

Hi! No news from UIG... I just had a look on Amazon.de and it looks like Phobos hasn't been released yet, not even in German version, while it was scheduled within May.
I feel a bit depressed... the few games I'm really looking forward to, are delaying for one reason or another. Sad

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Wed Jun 13, 2012 12:47 am

Thanks for keeping us informed Struzzo. Smile

I found a bit of info, though this was more of a random kind of luck than anything else regarding the release of Phobos 1953, if this helps any, so here goes -

Quote :: Release list
On this page we want to give you an overview of future commercial adventure publications. This, we first divided roughly according to the publication date (quarter, year, without date) and within this classification in alphabetical order. If no date is known to German (or English and the German release made by a large margin), we call the appointment of the English version. As is customary in the industry, can of course change the data and estimates on this page and we can not guarantee this.

Last Updated: 06/13/2012

No exact date announced for 2012:

Event Title Information

Phobos 1953
(Phantomery Interactive UIG) ENG: 2012

FYI (I did not quite understand this, but now since I looked it up now, I do understand this "Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4" thing; here are the quarters of the year, quoted below:)

Quote :: The calendar year can be divided into 4 quarters, often abbreviated Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4:
First quarter: from the beginning of January to the end of March
Second quarter: from the beginning of April to the end of June
Third quarter: from the beginning of July to the end of September
Fourth quarter: from the beginning of October to the end of December
[edit]

As of this posting (by me) we're currently near the end of the 2nd quarter, or Q2. Good thing, too, I believe, b/c I thought we were at the end of Q3! I guess this means there's still hope that Phobos might release in Eng version during Q3, so I can get it on my birthday, or in Q4, which means I can maybe get it for Xmas.

Thanks a lot AlienBZ!
Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Tue Jun 19, 2012 11:12 pm

This is the website where I got this info from. You'll have to use Google translate on it if you can't read German.

Possible release for Phobos 1953 That website is Adventure Treff.de

Right Hatshepsut! Very Happy

The English version is on sale HERE.

Enjoy it! I'm not sure I'll be able to play it now. In Rome we are literally boiling and sometimes I'm not even able to remember my name... I'm all day in bed under a big fan staring the ceiling and hoping it's only a nightmare... sigh!
Can't run away... I've three cats to take care of.

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Sat Jul 07, 2012 4:43 am

Thanks so much Struzzo

Playing it now! cheers

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Sat Jul 07, 2012 4:55 am

Thanks for letting us know struzzo. That's a really good price too Smile

Sorry to hear that you are boiling there in Rome. We've been having a heat wave here where I live too. It's just to miserable to do anything. Hope it cools off for you soon.

Play on behalf of me as well... my brain is in crumbs.
Thanks for your sympathy hatshepsut! let's hope for the best, in the meantime... Sleep

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:09 am

Thanks Struzzo! I note the name change...no longer Phobos 1953?

GreyFuss, your thoughts on the game? Next to Steam, I think I buy form Gamersgate the most. I like their website, and they always have lots of stuff on sale.

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Sun Jul 15, 2012 5:17 am

It's funny Lakerz, I wonder why they changed the name, seen that the national security agency wasn't called KGB until 1954...

Anyway, I purchased the game even if I don't think of playing until temperature won't be lower, and I have a question.
I didn't get an installer to download, the installation happens on line and what I have on my hard disk is the game already installed; so, it means that I can't burn it to store with my other games?
I hate those things... I have always loved to keep my games stored in a box, even if I have to make it myself.

Subject: Re: Phobos: 1953 Sun Jul 15, 2012 8:38 am

struzzo if the game the game installed online and you don't have an installer I don't think you can burn it to a cd. I haven't used gamersgate before and I don't lmow how thier downloads work and whether you can burn or not. I think lakerz gas used them a lot so maybe he knows.
