BUY ME!

Ooh, sexy box art! Why is the V4 logo not on the front of the box?

Congrats on the gold release, team! You've earned it.

The picture is an outdated one, we're on the front now.

@Xalys - Thanks!

grats for gold status

any idea for the price tag ?

I think it's around EUR 29, although it may vary between vendors.

hello,

may i ask why no release on STEAM ?
or is 15+ million user service non important ?

Personally, I don't like Steam. But that's because it's more about DRM than actual usability.

However, I'd love to have SunAge on Steam. The more places selling the game, the better.

It's not our decision though, firstly... Lighthouse Interactive have sole control on selling the game (being our publisher) and would have to get hold of Steam. Secondly... Steam would have to be interested in selling SunAge.

well, ownage, yes and no.

Lighthouse has JUST the rights to distribute it in the territories Europe & NorthAmerica & Russia. All the other territories are to be sold yet.

But i dont know yet how these territory stuff would be handled
download-wise.

I'd say that a download should be considered International, thereby governed by international law and behave as a country in itself. Therefore, it'd be seperate rights, imo.

erm so was Valve(STEAM) contacted about this by LH / V4 ?
i mean was there try to put SunAge on STEAM or not ?

also STEAM supports region locking so You can release game in 'region' w/o local publisher and lock it only to there w/o affecting other regions with already signed publishing deals etc.

similar goes for different pricing per country/regions (to match buy power of citizens , to avoid cutting off retail sales etc)

same feature is usable e.g. for games which get different content related on rating (e.g. germany vs violence etc)

Reminds me of the Maelstrom box :/ And that game was a bad one :/, but hey, no 2D game that ive ever played have been a bad one ^^

Personally i cant wait for this one IMHO i REALLY hope that you stick with 2D rts for a couple of years (2-10)

So the game has (finally) gone gold, that's great

But there will still be a demo released right?

Demo is under construction

Thats a bummer for me.

Just order it online: Gamersgate.com, Direct2Drive.com, and Totalgaming.net

I think it will release on November 30th for everyone, regardless of your country, if you order off one of those 3 sites.

ok found this a bit strange XD

Sometimes people on eBay do pre-orders, although they usually list that. Somewhat odd there...

Bael

ya but on the profile of the e bay guy it says you can get the product within a day or so... wonder what he would do if someone actualy purchased from him and then he didnt deliver it lol. enless he "coughed" hijacked a gamestop truck and ... "cough" stole them hahaha

I bet he owns a time machine... It's the only way!
