Orange Ocelots own MCC!
Hi Noxcrew community!
I know it's a very scary time right now. People are sick or stuck at home, worried about what's going to happen in the next few days, let alone the next week. But I’m sure we’re all going to get through this. So let's be kind, look after each other, grab a cup of tea and wait for this all to blow over.
And while things are crazy (in the not-fun way), we’re going to do our best to try and keep you entertained with our nonsense and hopefully bring a smile to your faces even just for a little bit (or a groan to your lips, I know my jokes are bad).
One upside to not having to go outside is that we’ve had an awful lot of time to test Mega Moustache Tales to absolute breaking point. We’ve had full-scale hours-long tests, trying to push the map to its limits and make sure every single one of the over 300 entities works like they’re supposed to.
We’ve had speedrun tests, where we ran through the map, completing various activities and generally messing with things like players do (don’t think we don’t see you) to see where things might break and we had tests for particularly complex activities and entities, just to make sure they work properly and haven’t broken in all the fixing and polishing. Lots of minor issues got caught but thankfully nothing game-breaking so, by the time this post reaches you, it should already be on its way to Microsoft for testing! Hopefully, it will follow our usual run of luck and not take too long to be released from their clutches and get to you guys!
Codename: Cow carries on with carrying on, with lots of meetings going on around getting it spick, span and ready for completion. Mechanics are still hard at it, with Avon finally finishing off the side quests and adding the final load of collectables. Touch wood, it’ll be going through the same testing process that MMT went through in the following days and I can report that it's been sent off in my next post!
Finally, in case you didn’t see it at the weekend, after a reasonably competitive fight and completely crushing Blue Bats in the final showdown, the Orange Ocelots came out on top to win MCC 3!
In hindsight, it was rather clear cut who was going to win the thing, but the Blue Bats and the Aqua Horses fought valiantly to try and depose the eventual victors and it was exceptionally close in terms of points (Aqua could have snuck into the finals had they just done better at Bingo)!
Regardless of how it all ended, MCC 3 was a lot of fun, both the players and you guys at home seeming to enjoy the show and we got to see the new game in action! (despite Techno trying to lobby against it, the meanie).
Work on getting everything fixed up and ready for the next event is already underway! I’m happy to announce that the next event will be taking place on the 18th of April at the usual time of 8pm BST! Hurray! Something fun to look forward to!
And that’s your lot!
As I said at the start of this post, it’s a scary time right now, so stay safe, look after each other, and know we’ll still be here, making stupid things and doing stupid stuff, all for you.
Until next week!
