Title: The Biotech Quiz
Description: Coming Soon!


Iruini Nuva - November 14, 2006 09:01 AM (GMT)
Here is a screenshot of the upcoming Biotech Quiz! It's release will be accompanied by a contest. The winner will receive a unique, enhanced demo of 'The Insurgent'. The demo contains all the new features that the full version has. The only difference is that the winner gets it early. :P To enter, complete the quiz on the hardest difficulty level with a perfect score (trust me, it's not that hard), take a screenshot of your unique code, and PM it to Iruini Nuva before the contest ends. At the end of the contest a random drawing will be held. The winner (there may be more than one) will receive the demo.

Contest Rules:

1) This contest is open to all Bzpower and Biotech members. Should you like to join BZPower, you may do so here.
2) To enter, complete the Biotech Quiz on the hardest difficulty level. You will be presented with a unique message screen and a code. Take a screenshot (alt+print screen) of it and PM it Iruini Nuva using the link on the Contact Us! page. Limit 5 entries per person per forum.
3) The contest will begin as soon as the quiz is released (date TBA), it will end several weeks thereafter.
4)Do not distribute codes to other members around forum, either via post, PM, or another method. Doing so will result in immediate disqualification and likely further punishment. Code distribution is also a good way to have the entire contest shut down, so if you want to have a shot at winning, play by the rules!

Yeah, why is it taking you so long to make this IN?

Iruini Nuva - November 28, 2006 01:06 AM (GMT)
Right now I'm just really busy with school, etc. What time I have I've been trying to put into The Insurgent. I'll try to have this done by 2007, okay? :P

Nickbomb - Overkill PMer - December 8, 2006 06:19 AM (GMT)
Uh, what month? :P

-Zach- - December 8, 2006 04:52 PM (GMT)
Well the usage of "by" suggests a promise to finish it "before" the date specified, which in turn is 2007, thus....

Iruini Nuva - December 8, 2006 05:00 PM (GMT)
No promises. :P

Nickbomb - Overkill PMer - December 13, 2006 05:52 AM (GMT)
This could be a while :P

-Zach- - December 24, 2006 09:16 PM (GMT)
LoL... It -has- been awhile.

Nickbomb - Overkill PMer - December 24, 2006 10:51 PM (GMT)
And he started promotions, when was it IN, in July?

-Zach- - December 24, 2006 11:59 PM (GMT)
He anounced it long ago, that's all I remember. In fact I do believe he said it was coming like, a week from the anouncement. XD

Nickbomb - Overkill PMer - December 25, 2006 12:52 AM (GMT)
Long week that lasts for a year. lol

Iruini Nuva - December 28, 2006 07:02 AM (GMT)
Oh shush. I decided to focus my priorities elsewhere. Seeing as there weren't thousands of screaming fans demanding it, I could safely put it on the back burner.

Darn I wouldve liked to see some of the questions. :)

Oh, and yes I did edit INs last post if you did notice ;)

Iruini Nuva - December 28, 2006 10:07 PM (GMT)
I'd be happy to divulge some of the more basic ones *looks for list* I'll probably keep the special ones more secret. :sly:

Nickbomb - Overkill PMer - December 28, 2006 10:57 PM (GMT)
:fear: Uh-oh, this may be bad people, stay tuned for INs special questions....next year.

My goodness you're pessimistic. I suppose I could release them next year...:sly:...after all, that isn't too far away. :P

Thanks for the compliment :) Thats actually the reason why Ive been saying "Next year people" because its a good chance that something wont happen the rest of this year.

Iruini Nuva - December 30, 2006 03:30 AM (GMT)
There's actually a chance that something might happen this year. It just might not be what you expected. :sly:

Iruini Nuva - December 30, 2006 04:35 AM (GMT)
No need to bother with that. I think you already know what it is (no telling though).

What? :o Im a tester. Shouldnt I be let known of projects?

Iruini Nuva - December 30, 2006 04:54 AM (GMT)
Heck, you tested it two or three days ago. :P I just meant that you can't tell. ;)

Must've been a dead burner... But I do recall there were a good deal of people excited, or at least interested in the quiz.

Iruini Nuva - January 8, 2007 07:14 PM (GMT)
I'm sure we could bring some of that hype back too, especially if we actually released it, but right now the public seems more focused on MoS3D and The Insurgent.

-Zach- - January 8, 2007 07:17 PM (GMT)
Well, maybe we could up the hype by anouncing say, a demo release to come in a week, and having a daily question up until then, and the first person to correctly answer the days question would be one of the seven to get that demo. Then we'd have like seven people reviewing, thus even further adding to the hype, then we have people excited about the full release again. :)

Iruini Nuva - January 8, 2007 08:09 PM (GMT)
The first thing I'd need to do is get this in a position where it can be play tested. The engine works, but not nearly all the questions are programmed in. Plus, I may modify the engine anyway to boost the processor and loading efficiency.

-Zach- - January 8, 2007 08:13 PM (GMT)
It would help. Until then maybe if we start steering some conversation back to the quiz, thataways people will be semi interested by the time a 7 day challenge was anounced.

Iruini Nuva - January 8, 2007 09:49 PM (GMT)
Well, this is discussing how the quiz could be promoted. ;)

-Zach- - January 8, 2007 09:51 PM (GMT)
*sigh* fine... I'll go post. [/noobism] "IN!? WHEN IS THE QUIZ COMING!?!?!? HEHEHEHERANDOM I WUB YOU BIOTECHROCKZERZ"

Aww, I was going to do that! Oh well, I just guess I going to have to post earlier. If I tried the quiz, I'd fail. And by failing, I mean the failing is below 50%. Me getting higher than a 50% on an online quiz is just a silly idea.

-Zach- - January 10, 2007 10:52 PM (GMT)
Sooo... Do you have a timeframe on a workable demo? Like when you -hope- to have something?

It won't be an online quiz (like those quizzery things on BZP). This quiz should be a nice exe file with far more capabilities than those online quizzes.

Nope. :P It'll probably be released as a promo item during a slower phase or something. Thus, a set release date may not be the best way to have it come out.

-Zach- - January 10, 2007 11:37 PM (GMT)
Uhh... Slower phase you say? Care to say -how- slow you're waiting for?

Iruini Nuva - January 11, 2007 01:07 AM (GMT)
One slower than where we are now. Business is picking up at the moment. :D
