KickStarter The Legends of Eisenwald Thread

[Tigranes]

Excellent, congratulations! I'm glad you guys managed to do it without further trouble.

Really would be interesting to see how many Steam purchasers would not have bought/known without Steam.

Thank you! It would be interesting to see but the only question is how. For now, I don't think everyone who voted yes (47k) would buy our game. On the other hand, just a fraction of Steam users saw our game on Greenlight. Like always, at the end it will depend on the promotion and the quality of the game. The quality we can control, as for promotion, we will do our best.

Finally, well deserved.

Congratulations on making it to Steam Aterdux!

 

[Aterdux Entertainment]

Thank you! I am going to make a brofisting orgy here to celebrate

 

[Infinitron]

Told you you'd make it!

 

[commie]

YEEAAHH!!!

 

[Aterdux Entertainment]

This is one of these rare cases where I am very happy to be wrong

Congratulations!

Now a question: will your backers receive only either DRM-free copy or a Steam Key, or both?

Hmm, do you think some will want both? Closer to the release we were planning to run a survey and ask people what they prefer. I think we will keep it at that, but if anyone wants to have both DRM-free and Steam key I don't see why not. We are hoping to give DRM-free through GOG but since we have not signed anything with them yet (I am quite positive though they will - they seem like really cool guys), I am not going to say it will be done this way. Even though it's very probable.

An interesting observation though - only a bit over 20 people are using DRM-free version of the beta, compared to a couple of thousand using Desura. But I think it might be because the DRM-free version now is not very convenient - it's necessary to downolad the whole game each time there is a patch.

I would like a GoG and a Steam key. I mainly use Steam on my desktop and GoG on my laptop.

I certainly would like both, but then I'm down for the tier with 2 copies of the game so I could live with one being Steam and one DRM free(though I'd rather have the second copy to give away to share the love). Failing that, a GOG key would be almost the same thing. I like being able to download fully patched versions as they come out.

 

[Aterdux Entertainment]

Ok then, point well taken, we will give both versions. I will make a note not to forget it. It would be really easy with GOG keys to handle that and I think when we (hopefully) sign with them, we will be able to figure it out.

Great. Now only thing that remains is to make sure that after you finish the game you make some decent DLC since I'm down for free DLC as well! No fucking horse armor or reskinned units! I want at least several multi map campaigns, one per DLC. Maybe some new tilesets, enemies etc.

 

[Metro]

I'll take the Steam key that one of the Gabe haters doesn't want.

 

[Aterdux Entertainment]

Yes, now we just need to finish the game and make some EXPANSIONS - the word DLC scared us during the Kickstarter campaign, I think we better stay away from it

Catching the attention of the loverslab community in the process - a truly brilliant move

And there's a chance that the new game cards will replace them, lol.

Make an Artedux mode as the"way meant to be played" and charge $5,00 for it. It will not attract really bad PR at all, trust me.

 

[Aterdux Entertainment]

All jokes aside, we were thinking of doing some kind of a mod for Skyrim but - the usual problem - lack of resources. It's still not off the table though

 

[MicoSelva]

We should rename the thread "Legends of Eisenwald - beta now available" or something.

You might already know about this but Amazon is launching an 'indie store' section of their digital games download site. A lot of wacky promotions and such but one thing you might be interested in (apart from getting your game up on the store itself) is the spotlight page where they do some Q&A with developers located here.
