Hey Alec, was wondering. Since the game is due out this year will the game be distributed in stores by dvd? or will it be paid download? Kinda like playng through paypal or something.

Our plan is to start (?) with a paid download, but we really, really want to see the game in a box at some point, also.  Hopefully with a nice instruction manual. :)

But it will definitely be available for download from our website, at the very least.

Oooo..a nice colored instruction manual with a soundtrack would do nicely Derek. There MUST be a soundtrack.  :P

Hey, any plans for an affiliate program of some sort?
...  I actually gave up playing when BMcC began beating me at my games. It kinda took all the fun out of it by having the snot kicked out of you by a 4 year old.  ...

Any chance we can pay extra to nab a boxed copy?  I'd be more than willing to pay extra up front and then wait for you guys to sort out the box issue.  Or maybe we can pay for the download, enjoy the game, then you could have some kind of upgrade thing where we can send in a few extra bucks for a box after the fact?  I'm big on having boxes/hard copies of my games even if I download them.  Stardock has done a great job with the distribution of Galactic Civilizations 2 this way, and the guys at Moonpod and Introversion do excellent there as well.

I know I want a boxed copy too! So yeah, we'll definitely be looking into it.

No details yet, but its likely we'll put more than just the game in the box too. :D

Soundtrack!! :) And a piece of the real Naija's fin filament wrapped in ziploc baggy to preserve freshness.  ^-^

Wouldn't you rather just have some Beef Jerky?

Beef Jerky won't give you the same feeling that a torn piece of exotic fin skin would. It dosn't give you that same experience unwrapping a can of tuna does.  :P

This also makes me ask. What if it's only download, and I have no money? I mean, I got some, but if it was Paypal or something I'd personally be screwed, because they had their system so effed up I'm not sure I can get one again. I'll have to sort that out.

I'm sure Alec and Derek are thinking of all these things, but it's still a bit too soon to tell. They will probably let us know when they figure it out themselves, as they get closer to completing the game.
