KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[Pink Eye]

Oh my god. That sounds painful. Don't developers have like an automated process for that kind of stuff?

Pierre wanted to show how much he loves us.

 

[Tomas]

Is he doing every single backer key manually & in alphabetical order?

I'm pretty sure he's doing them manually, in the order people backed.

In that case I'll get mine in couple months being one of the last backers.

 

[Sacibengala]

Manually seems to be it. He thanked me for backing KotC2 and all future modules, plus he used my nick.

It can be slow, but it is a lost art, that's for sure. I miss those times.

 

[cruelio]

How do I redeem my steam key for this so I can warn people to never play this trash on a platform that's read by more than ten people?

Agreed, it is great but still... it's crazy impractical. But Pierre gonna Begue.

I'm not sure whether Kickstarter provides one directly, but for a developer who can write a game engine and maintain his own website, it would be less than an hours work to write a quick script to email a list of users.

Just a CSV of email addresses and steam/GOG keys and iterate through.

Part of the issue sounds like Pierre didn't find out whether people wanted Steam or GOG keys before release. Kickstarter does offer survey options for that type of thing.

Or, as Sacibengala suggested, he wanted to be more prestigious than the Codex itself!

I'm sure most backers would rather have their keys quickly first and a personalised thank you from Pierre later. He could have achieved both if he desired.

 

[Abu Antar]

Btw, I backed via the Codex. He basically had to mail me to know.

I backed on KS directly, not had anything yet. Not too bothered personally if I don't get a key before the 25th but would still be nice.

 

[JarlFrank]

I backed through PayPal, so yeah he had to message me directly.

Sounds like he's dealing with the non KS requests first. Probably makes sense if there is less of them and they require more manual intervention.

I'm pretty sure he already asked KS backers if we wanted Steam/GOG keys.

 

[Abu Antar]

Got my key.

Your activation of Knights of the Chalice 2 was successful

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I jumped the gun and mailed him first. So I probably delayed a couple of keys somewhere.
No regrets.

 

[Reinhardt]

nothing wrong with it. weak should fear the strong. civilized people should suffer.

 

[Dickie]

 

[Reinhardt]

can he at least add price or something?

 

[Sacibengala]

24 hours

 

[Reinhardt]

question about equip - what bonuses you can place on accessories here so most slots won't just be a waste of space if we are talking about low fantasy world wih mostly mundane items?

 

[AdolfSatan]

RTFM

 

[Reinhardt]

TLDR

 

[Comte]

I didnt get my email yet.....

 

[Dorateen]

I'm getting flashbacks from the 2017 Grimoire release. I hope Pierre doesn't go out for a walk to pick up some McDonalds roots.
