Steam and GoG Keys are now on the backer portal!
Posted by Berserkerkitten
Dear Pathfinders!
The Stolen Lands await! Release is almost upon us! Can you feel it? The excitement, the anticipation, that feeling you get when you're about to fire up a brand new game for the very first time! Have you already planned out your main character? Do you know which characters are going to be in your main party? Are you teaming up with our eleven companions or are you going to create an entire party from scratch? Or maybe a little bit of both, mix and match?
Before you can join the fun, you'll have to pick up your game key from our
backer portal. When you log in using the same account data or login method you used when you transferred your Kickstarter pledge over to the backer portal, you will now be able to choose from either a Steam key or a GoG key. All you need to do is click the 'Get your Digital Download' button, then choose your platform on this pop-up:
Steam or GoG, the choice is yours.
Please be aware that your platform selection cannot be undone once the choice is made!
If you've picked up a key for Steam, you can activate it in the Steam client by clicking on 'Games'. Then you go to 'Activate a Product on Steam', follow the on-screen instructions and paste your key there.
GoG-users paste and redeem their keys
here.
PLEASE NOTE: Depending on your Kickstarter pledge level, you may receive multiple keys in the digital downloads section - the first one for the game, the second one is for your digital rewards. Redeeming them all will grant you the digital goodies you've pledged for. Please be sure to use the keys in order! Activate the game first, then the digital extras.
Once you have picked up your key and registered it on your platform of choice, you'll be all set and good to go for launch. You'll be able to pre-load the game before it releases on the 25th at midnight PDT, 9am CET, 10am Moscow time.
For those among you, who have yet to transfer their Kickstarter pledges, we have re-sent the transfer links and instructions to every backer, who has not transferred, yet. If you haven't received our email early last week, please check your spam and junkmail folders and follow the instructions in our email!
Regarding our email situation - several thousand (!) users have contacted us and asked us to re-send their pledge-transfer emails after we had just sent them out again. It is going to take some time to respond to each and every one of these messages. In light of this situation,
we are working on a feature on the backer portal, which allows you to request your transfer code in an automated message. You will be able to enter your Kickstarter email address on
our backer portal and have your pledge transfer link sent to you.
Those of you, who emailed us requesting a pledge transfer reset, can use this feature as well!
We are also considering sending out a Steam key to every Kickstarter backer, who has failed to transfer their pledge after release. This way, you'll be able to pick up and play the game you pledged for, even if you do not perform the transfer. However, this also means you'll be stuck with a Steam-key and won't have the option to choose a GoG-key, instead.
Please note that pledges containing a boxed edition will be shipped about a month after release! We're sorry for making you wait a little longer - however, you will also find game keys on the backer portal, meaning you won't miss out and get to start playing alongside everybody else.
Those among you, who have pledged for
a signed poster of Wayne Reynolds' stunning artwork will be happy to know that we're in the process of signing them right now. They still have a fair bit of traveling to do in order to receive everyone's signature, but we'll be ready to ship them out in the coming weeks!
The digital walkthrough consists of over 500 pages at the time we're writing this. It is very detailed and covers everything up to about the first half of chapter 3 of the story. We're making it available at launch to everyone, who pledged for it. Unfortunately, this also means that the rest of the walkthrough is still work in progress and will be made available as soon as it's ready. We apologize for the delay!
The bonus digital module is still going through the 2nd draft with feedback from Paizo to insure quality, and we’ll update you when it’s in the final stages. To make up for this delay, however, all backers who pledged for the module will receive a digital pawn sheet with the companions and NPCs from Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
