Hi.

No, the game demo is not on there. I've emailed breakerbox and will tell you guys what response I get.

My guess is gyro is sending out the links to everyone who ordered the game but since he's sending one email at a time, it's slower. I could be wrong on that. I did email asking why he doesn't make a central place for us to download games and get unlock keys since this sending everyone an individual email is nice, but slow.

Personally, I find the notion of sending out download links to a zip file of the game to be laughably insecure. I am almost positive that within a few weeks of this thing being posted, dropbox links to the file will be passed around like vollyballs at a beach party. Not by me of course. I have no reason to do something like that, seeing as I've already pre-ordered the game. I am sure this will happen though, which is why I strongly recommend a different form of validation. Perhaps an automated server that, upon receiving a paypal email about a completed payment, generates a one time use key and sends it out to the buyer. Additional keys could be generated manually by contacting you with the email the buyer used to pay. I'm not trying to be critical, but as an honest customer, i would not take kindly to something I pay $15 for to be passed around freely, and I doubt you would either.

What ever happened to the preorder of Aeric the Cleric2? I don't recall that coming out?

That's what I learned from this topic as a developer:
1. Accepting preorders is a responsability, if you do and don't release the game when you are suposed to do, community isn't happy at all.
2. If you argue that you cannot release the game cause you are compiling a demo (for all who hadn't preordered the game), pommunity isn't happy as well
3. If you release your brand new game but not a demo, the whole spacetime will collapse, for some mistical reason (just jocking).
4. "really, my dog ate my homework", or if this is true, I'd preffer something like: "hey, we need more time to solve a couple of bugs", it sounds much better than: we finished the game one day late and we still have to compile a demo. One of my teachers said: and why did you leave your homework there? Don't you know dogs always eat homework? Lol.

Please, don't missunderstand me, developing a game is a hard job, and I'd love to play this one, but it's a good demonstration of what happens when you promise... "Siri, remember me not to specify a release date".

I usually don't jump into topics like this to complain, but it seems to me this is getting rediculous. We've been promised the game all of yesterday and today, and yet there's no word out and noone who preordered has even gotten their games yet. I don't believe it takes this long to finalize a demo for any game. This is where I think mainstream developers and Japanese audiogame developers have it right. You hardly hear anything until its confirmed... and release dates aren't set until the company knows that they can meet that deadline. I'm still waiting for this game, but I'm getting more and more disappointed and relieved that I didn't preorder it. Case and point, Shadow Line. We'll see lack of information for months at a time, yet when an update comes out it's always been something noteworthy and something new to make the game fresh.

Hi.
Fair enough if developers can't meet up to their own time schedule, but I think the reason here is quite weird.
1: Us who have preordered the full version should not wait for the demo version to be released, but instead the full version which we have payed for. So saying that the time schedule is delayed because you are working on compiling the demo version is not a good reason to us who have bought the full version. We want the full version, not the demo version.
2: Long time ago, in an other topic, I and others requested that you make a place where us who have bought the games can download them instead of having send mails out manually. I thought that was fixed, but well...
If I haven't received the full version of the game at sunday this week, I'll contact Paypal to get my money back for an unreleased product.

how can i get a refund on this title?

Hi.

I agree with staindaddict. Yes I asked for a refund on psycho strike; but that was because I felt the game wasn't my kind of thing and didn't really have a story to it. I've learned my lessen and ordered this game knowing it's going to be my kind of thing.

I won't ask for a refund on this since it has: fully voiced characters,a world to explore, music made for the game, a folder with items that aren't in the game, a full manual and a bloopers audio folder or clip. Honestly this is going to be one hell of an awesome game.

I can understand if people want refunds due to needing that money and if so; you can go to paypals website, log in, look at your history and get a refund that way. I'm not exactly sure on how to do it but if you look on google I'm sure you'll findout how to do it.

I agree with Staindaddict as well, which is I have decided to wait until Friday the 12th to do anything about it. That is fair in my mind, and if Jake doesn't think so, he can express his concerns to me privately in the paypal resolution center on or after that date if something hasn't happened by then. I totally understand that jyro22 is developing pretty much by himself and therefore needs a bit more time to get things done, but knowing all of this, I think he should have waited to say anything until the game was all tied up in a neat little bow and ready for release. Knowing his own sales history might also be a sign that he should try something different this time around. Just know that this is not a rant, but rather a suggestion that you can choose to follow or not. It's not time to rant quite yet, so I'm not going to intentionally say something that will set everyone ranting and get what sounds like a great game off to a bad start.

Well, things have been pretty quiet on the front for this game. Is there any news?

Hi.

I got the same kind of message.

About the new feature and gyro sending out links. I've not got mine yet but am hoping that I will get it by the end of this week.

I have no idea why he sets these strict deadlines for himself, and not once has he ever met them. He's also extremely slow about sending out links, super airik the cleric took a few weeks to get to me if I remember right. At least he's not james north who ran off with everyone's money years ago.
