Thanks for your early interest in Chasing The Wish. You have been pre-registered for the game, which means you'll be given advance notice of all news and information about Chasing The Wish, as well as the first look at all new game trailers and press releases. Each week until the launch of the game, the chasingthewish.com site will be updated with new information, videos, links, etc, revealing more and more about Chasing The Wish. You will receive regular e-mails with the latest information days before it is posted to the chasingthewish.com site and links to pages where you can view the latest CTW stuff before it is available to the general public. Finally, you will be among the first to be able to complete the actual registration process for the game when it becomes available.

This Tuesday, November 12th, the chasingthewish.com site will be updated with some more general information about the game. There won't be anything too detailed yet as it's basically just the official posting of the information already leaked out through earlier message board posts, for those who haven't seen or read it yet. Here's most of what will be posted.

***

Some general information about Chasing The Wish

* Chasing The Wish is an immersive internet game where the players become an interactive part of an unfolding mystery and adventure.

* Chasing The Wish will involve challenging puzzles and tasks that will require research and activity not only on the web but in the real world as well. Real world objects will be key elements of the game.

* Chasing The Wish will be free.

* Chasing The Wish is not a ChangeAgents' story. It is not about mind control or secret government agencies (at least not in any way you might dream of). [Note: The ChangeAgents' were key figures in earlier games by one of the developers of Chasing The Wish]

* Chasing The Wish is not a solo effort. Some team resources are already in place, others are being recruited for specific needs.

* Chasing The Wish is in development now and already has over two dozen websites conceived and integrated into a multi-layered storyline.

* Chasing The Wish is tentatively scheduled to begin near the end of the year.

* Chasing The Wish will make generous use of video, audio, e-mail, phone calls, chats and IMs, as well as live real-world events.

Sometime next week you'll be given the first look at the second Chasing The Wish trailer (the first one's already posted at chasingthewish.com) and information about an upcoming pre-launch puzzle and contest. Stay tuned and please spread the word about Chasing The Wish. We promise it's going to be well worth the wait.

Hi Ken:
Sorry we seemed to miss you on the first round of pre-registration responses
even though you were actually one of the very first to reply. We've seriously
been a little overwhelmed with the early response, since we have received over
100 pre-registrations in the last four days. By now you've probably seen the
updated info at www.chasingthewish.com (it was updated earlier today), which
was all that was really in the first e-mail you missed. The Chasing The Wish
site will be updated every week up until the time of game launch. By pre-
registering, you will receive advance notice each week of what's going to be
posted to the main site, at least a few days before it is available to the
general public. You will also be among the first group to be able to complete
the actually registration process when it becomes available.
Next week there will be a new game trailer posted to the Chasing The Wish site
and you'll be e-mailed a link for it a couple of days in advance of it being
posted. There will also be information abut an upcoming mini-puzzle/contest
we'll be running soon to entertain you while waiting for the game to launch.
Again, sorry we missed you on our first round of e-mails and thanks again for
your interest. We promise, the game is going to be well worth the wait.

I like it...

 		I agree DSotM. You're likely in for a real treat. I peaked in on a game that was created by one of the guys that's behind this, Change Agents' out of Control (often referred to as CAOOC or Change Agents). I wish that I had been able to participate more, as it was a stellar effort and to later find out that there was just one guy behind it completely blew my mind. I can't wait to see what a team effort will produce!

 		I guess it's only fair that Kenbo got a personal reply... considering that I sent my email to the address yesterday afternoon, and got a reply last night...

 		I got a "Hi Dave" at the beginning, but the same canned text.

Anyway, if this is anything like CAOOC... this'll be good.

 		I too was shocked that CAOOC was the work of one person. Amazing...

 		Well...I'd like to play, but my email keeps getting returned. Probably because I'm using a web based account, but such is life!

I can't use my home account because there are so many people in my house using the same computer and "poking" around. (In other words, I've got a few of these types of things going and I get in kaka for "wasting time" online with "mindless drivel". (Their words, not mine!)

DangNabbit!

I doubt that pre-registration is required to play, just to get updates on progress a little early. Smile

Ken:

This Tuesday, November 19th, the chasingthewish.com site will be updated with
the second trailer for the game. The first trailer is currently available at
the chasingthewish.com site and will be there until the second one replaces it.
Since you have pre-registered, you can get an early look at the new trailer by
going to www.chasingthewish.com/preview.html.
There will also be some new information posted Tuesday about a mini
puzzle/contest coming very soon in which a few quick thinkers will be able to
win some of the very first Chasing The Wish merchandise. In upcoming weeks
we'll also be releasing more information on the game itself, including
registration details, the game's "backstory", options for playing the game, and
the chance to get involved "Behind The Scenes".
Thanks again and stay tuned. We're just getting started.
