[CR4TES]

AWESOME!

[Vixlacimaa]

Holy cow, that's awesome! When [if? :( ] is this coming out?!

If I ever win the lottery, this is my #1 priority. :3

Pwease pwease pwease~

This was cool I saw it a while ago and thought I would come back to it however sadly the link no longer seems to be working :(

I absolutely love BF and I think you've done a beautiful job of turning it into a live-motion hopefully to be game for all of us fans. It's gorgeous and wonderful, and you've done an AWESOME job :3

[pratogi]

Onoes! Meant to rate 5, but hit 4 instead :(

This is really gorgeous. Especially the image at 1:47 .

[ziran]

You should make this! It would be wonderful :)

[captiansoban]

oh my, this is absolutely beautiful.

you certainly have my interest in starting up again

[macro2sancro]

Very cool. I would love get behind something like this if it got started again.

[RandomPROJECTZ]

thank you all for the wonderful comments! as I have said in the description, this project meant a lot to me at the time and it means a lot to me now to hear such positive feedback for the work i did get done.

rofreg - i signed up for the google group (as Paz). if you DO find some serious interest in the blogosphere, lets discuss.

That is such a beautiful idea for a Buttercup Festival game. Amazing.

Sidenote- any idea where I could track down a copy of An Island People Go To?

For those who are interested in possibly resurrecting a game like this, I've just created a discussion group -- go to the Google Groups homepage and search for "buttercup-festival-dev". I'd love to get a conversation going and see if there's enough interest to actually restart this project (assuming we have David's blessing, of course). Artists, programmers, by-standers all welcome :)

I was skeptical, too, but the intent seems very true to the comic. I hope this continues somehow.

I have to say, as a frequent reader of BF, this is the most fantasticawesomaltatious thing I've ever seen. I was initially skeptical about how you could even begin to put BF into the context of a videogame (running around collecting flying blueberry pancakes and having real-time battles against ennui came to mind) but the idea of helping people see how amazing life is sounds perfect, since that's just what the strip does for me. I demand a Future Boy side-mission(s?).

This is very nice--I agree with Quaxe. You don't need to hire a team of developers; I'm sure there are plenty of people on the internet who have the skills and drive to collaborate on a project like this. Putting together a team of 5-10 experienced volunteers to work on the game wouldn't be too hard if you looked for the right people in the right places. If not, you should at least release the source code so that others could work on it as well.

[QuaxeYojimbo]

yeah, making this open-source would be cool. Maybe we could restart it?

[rofreg]

Gorgeous work -- you really managed to capture the feel of the original artwork. It's too bad you've lost the project files for this, or I would pick up development in a heartbeat.
