March 2010 - Oatman is spotted on http://www.actionscript.org/forums asking for help with basic flash.
May 2010 - Oatman conducts his first "walk test."
Summer 2010 - Oatman announces the Uvora alpha phase. He also announced the "family and friends alpha" phase, when a select few are chosen to participate in "pre-alpha." The alpha phase was meant to begin mid-September and "extended alpha" was meant to begin in October.
August 2010 - Oatman makes some great progress, he learns how to use cross domain XMLs, after only 7 months of learning flash.

September 2010 - Uvora homepage is updated, claiming that the alpha phase was "postponed" until October.

October 2010 - No alpha test was released, instead Oatman finished the Uvora homepage and he created a Twitter! In addition, UvoraForums was introduced! The homepage's main SWF also contained actionscript similar to the actionscript in an article released under Creative Common in the Adobe docs. It was also discovered that Uvora's homepage led to an empty directory when the "play now" button was pressed when logged in.

http://play.uvora.com (When Oatman discovered that his empty directory was found, he quickly added an index page to redirect it to the maintenance page.)
December 2010 - Members of the UvoraForums were first given alpha keys. Concept art is released, with some strikingly similar art from VMK. Bushes in Uvora resembled the VMK Town Central trees, a window was reflecting the background from the sky room in Fantasyland and characters were allegedly traced directly from VMK.

January 2011 - Oatman allegedly deleted the UvoraForums.com forum after a feud between him and the administrators of the forum. Oatman's new favorite forum is probably UvoraFanSite, a forum made by Wings from VMKUnlimited/VAU to replace his LasuniForums.
Post by MoomaladeMuffin:
The below was posted by me, and deleted almost instantly for no reason at all. Everything posted was the truth, and none of it was deserving of its deletion.
Hello everyone. Most of you probably know me on here, and I would just like to ask ONE very important question. Please don't take this the wrong way, but WHY were Jared and Etta banned? I'd like to know how the creators of the game this forum is about could be banned. I realize this thread will probably be deleted soon, but I'd just like to get my message across before I, too, am banned for no apparent reason. It seems to me that a "certain" staff member is going a little power-hungry lately and going a little crazy, as Kfan had previously mentioned. I'm terribly sorry if any of this sounds rude, but it's just something to think about. I can't imagine how the administrators of this forum expect to have our continued support if they are going to be banning us and revoking our priveleges, on TOP of framing some of us for things we haven't done. That staff member knows who he is, and I'd just like to put it out there that this is a little bit ridiculous.
Thanks for your time, and please move this to the rants section if necessary.

Lastly, still no alpha test yet!
I see him on actionscript.org, but I'm on that forums too, so what? But he should buy a book, that's what I did.
ReplyDeleteOh and etta was right about the last event, january 2010, oatman never deleted the forums.
