Really? If that's the case, I don't imagine why, since there is worse games being sold there.

Since a few people here seem to be dumbfounded that it was rejected, here's the rejection letter:

Hello, Braden,

Sorry for the late reply, we are very busy with constant releases and submissions.

We checked the Super 3D Noah's Ark games, they look like classic titles with engaging and fun gameplay and addictive mechanic.

Unfortunately, however, we feel that the games would not be a good fit for GOG, as we think that they appear to be too simplistic and a bit too small in scale for our core users, which means that we aren’t confident in their sales potential on our site.

Additionally we have a very busy upcoming release schedule with many great games already waiting for release.

For these reasons I’m afraid we will have to pass on Super 3D Noah's Ark.

If you have any other games in the future that might be a better fit for GOG, please let us know, and hopefully we’ll be able to work together.

All the best,

Given that that looks like a form letter, I'll let you decide what the real reason was. It would have been great to have it on gog.com along side Blake Stone and ROTT, but oh well. I can kind of understand that they don't want to go through the legal processes for one title that probably won't return much of a profit. On the bright side, I'm selling S3DNA for a $1 cheaper than they would have I think.

I also submitted the game to the Humble Store and GamersGate and got no response (honestly wasn't expecting much there). Desura said they had no problems with the content, but I decided to go with itch.io since I don't know if Desura is any more popular and itch doesn't require a client download. Plus itch.io has no fees at the moment. I didn't bother with Steam since I figured with the reputation of the game, it would never get greenlit.

I created a community wishlist entry for the game on GOG:
http://www.gog.com/w...versary_edition

(It was technically already up there, but this specifies the 20th Anniversary Edition with relevant links.)

I know this won't have much direct influence, but more exposure for the new release can't hurt. For anyone with a GOG account, I encourage you to vote at the link above!

Never hurts to try.

[Player Lin]

I wonder if the DOS version got licensed from id, then what's the "legal" problem?...
(Yeah, this one wasn't really confirmed by any of known sources so it still debatable.)
But, it maybe not enough profits for sure, too many players still believed that stupid urban legend which isn't true at all...or just feel this game is not worth or something...



Well, whatever if S3DNA will be sell on GoG/Steam or not, I don't really seriously care it, just feel sad and understand their reasons for not caring this game...

Desura is probably somewhat more popular but I think you need to make a bit more sales than itch.io before you have to cash out, you can also to choose to only have your game downloadable via the client or from the website itself when you login.

Super Noah's Ark 3D is actually not that bad considering it is pretty much Wolfenstein 3D with a Christian coat of paint. If anything the Christian theme makes it a pretty surreal experience to say the least.

[Lunick]

I'd say it plays better than Wolf3D with the minimap and somewhat better level design.

[MrBlackCat]

It certainly wasn't terrible... if someone played it who had never seen Wolfenstein it would probably work out better. It is hard to lose that Wolfenstein feeling while playing it though... at least for me. I enjoy seeing the limits of diversity on 3D games like this though... if I were to make a 3D First Person Shooters list of diversity, Super 3-D Noahs Ark would be in there with game liks Laser Arena, Redneck Deer Huntin', BodyWorks Voyager, Extreme PaintBrawl, 911 Fire Rescue, and some others I can't think of right now. Interesting things done with what are basically "shooter" engines.

I kind of feel bad for bumping this thread for something small but,

The game has a Greenlight page now and could probably do with some positive votes http://steamcommunit...s/?id=287164593

[MrBlackCat]

Interesting. Thank you for bumping the thread.

Just heard that it's eventually been greenlit: http://steamcommunit...s/?id=287164593

Hopefully it won't be long before a release is made (as a side-note, there's already a non-Steam release), but being greenlit is almost surely what matters now.

[MusicallyInspired]

Looks like my SC-55 pack might be implemented after all. I'm glad it can get some use lol.

[Blzut3]

Your SC-55 pack has indeed been implemented since the release of 1.3.1.

Finally! Many props to you, Blzut3, along with Piko and Wisdom Tree for keeping this game alive. Super 3D Noah's Ark deserves it.

That it took a legitimate and established title this long to get Greenlit is a testament to how flawed Steam's Greenlight system is. I can only hope GOG will see the error of their ways too.

Edit: And the Stone Age Gamer T-shirt is on sale too! It's like a Super 3D Noah's Ark renaissance!

The flash just made my skin look pale is all. (ok, not really, I didn't use a flash.) Ok really I am about a 92 brightness on the copy paper whiteness scale. Hehehe

My girlfriend doesn't even play FPS's or have any idea what this game is and she is ordering one. She "just likes the shirt a lot". Women are so strange sometimes.

I think I've figured out the real plot behind Super 3D Noah's Ark.

Noah was a genius inventor and succeeded in creating the first living clones on the ark. He then ran an extensive cloning experiment on all the animals (the best test subjects) during the 40-day flood. However, he used some of his own genius DNA in the process to speed up production, yet there was some sort of biological defect. The animals started to become self-aware as a result of the genetic blending and yet increasingly violent. The smarter they became, the more violent they became. Now the animals are loose and out of control and it's up to Noah to destroy his abominations before they overcome himself, his family, and worse yet, the animal originals! If that happens, when the floods recede, the clones will inhabit and inherit the Earth instead of God's original creations! Noah learned his lesson. His creations must die. Luckily he planted a safeguard in his creations which renders them instantly ravenous at the sight of certain food, and when they partake a certain amount they instantly fall into a deep sleep. This will give Noah the time he needs to quietly dispose of them later. After all, he can't just kill them outright. That would be too messy. Being the genius inventor that he is, he crafted a variety of clever projectile-based feeding apparati of varying levels of efficiency and potency to more easily subdue the creatures.

It won't be easy, though. The first animals he cloned before his extensive experiment numbered 6. He gave these "primaries" names: Carl the camel, Ginny the giraffe, Melvin the monkey, Kerry the kangaroo, Ernie the elephant, and finally Burt the bear, the most cunning and powerful of them all. These 6 animals were the first initial clones created before his extensive experiment began. They are much smarter than the other animals and they even assisted Noah with his process, aiding him in perfecting his technique. Somewhere along the line they realized that they could overcome Noah's intellect and take the new world for themselves if they only had a loyal army. They appealed to Noah's ego and massive intellect and coerced him into the greater cloning production of animals with lesser IQs than the primaries, so that they could be controlled. Then, when the violence broke out, they took advantage of the situation and led the animals on a crusade. Noah will have to face each of these primaries and the respective hoards of animal clone legions they each command. They won't make it easy for Noah. They're aware of the safeguards built into their genetic makeups and have mentally trained themselves to resist the urge to eat too much and succumb to the slumber that will surely lead to the forfeit of their lives at the hands of their former master. Noah checks to make sure he has his trusty feeding apparati at hand and heads into the cloning deck of the Ark, where the creatures are still secured....for now. "Ok," he says with a momentary pause, "Time to go in."


Well.....it's a little more exciting and believable than the original plotline. If they made the Noah movie with this story I'd definitely enjoy it a lot more.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

Wow. You should be a writer, MI. Slow clap.

So Super 3D Noah's Ark is the primordial prequel to BioMenace?

[MrBlackCat]

Well, I bought the SNES version, so now I can play it with the all new "MusicallyInspired" story line.
