Title: I really want to play this game however....
Post by: OutrageousToob on February 01, 2008, 01:23:30 am
....I'm not really used to this digital distribution thing. I've always been a fan of getting something tangible for my money. I mean, what if my hard drive dies and Bit-Blot happens to get hit by an earthquake or something at the same time? I'm then out $30 and a game. Heh!

Anyways, having played the demo (which is just awesome) I have a few questions.

1. How is the game distributed/delivered? Do I download it via Steam (bleh) or can I download an executable from this website? Can I put the file on a CD to keep for myself?

2. Are there any plans in the pipeline for a full blown retail/web order version? If so, how long till it'll be off the ground? Also, how much do you think it might be (I'd personally pay $50-$60)?

Eh, that's it. I'm going to buy the game either way (I'm not waisting your time), it recalls too many good old school gaming memories not to.

1. You can order it from this site, its not from Steam. You can back up your installer if you wish, but you can also contact us any time to get your download reactivated.


2. We want to make a boxed collector's edition that you'll be able to order from this site as well. I don't have an ETA on that yet, but when we release it we're going to try to offer a discount for those who already bought the game. (I'm not sure how much it would be, or how that would work exactly yet)

What I did was burn the installer to a CD, as well as a text file with the registration email.  But I'm still gonna buy that collector's edition :)

Well, you'll notice my preferred plushy if you just glance at my avatar.

I didn't cloo in until it was pointed out to me by an 11 yr old that it's a stuffy of the beast.  I'd go cabbage patch crazy if those were on a store shelf.
