Hello.  Apparently Montezuma's Revenge will be shipping by the end

of the week. The price is now $45 for those who haven't preordered. 

Registration keys will be mailed out when the games ship.  You can download

the manual and a trailer from alchemygamestudios.com.

you mean it's on disk?
what if you don't like the game, won't it be

hard to return?
i do want to play it, but i'd like a demo so i know i'd

like it, or not.
but well, as long as the game comes out, what does it

matter.
i think i'll order it.

i am

not sure if he actually means it'll be on disc, i think he will make a

downloadable demo.

2006-01-12 02:28:21

Damn it... no demo... oh well...

They'll be a demo, i read on blindgamers there will be an unlockable demo.

But...$45? For that money sighted people get full 3D games with top of the

line graphics, tons of options, unlimited ways to play the game, ETC. And

what do we get, another side scroller? Uh...um...A little weird. But at

least its coming out, I'll have no problem buying the game but if they

don't send me that registration key I'll be really mad! Well, I'm glad

its finally coming out...

Yep,

it would probably be a demo. in the documentation it said there was a demo,

which allows you to play the first 2 levels only. the documentation sounds

good at least.

2006-01-12 09:13:00

oh, is it a side scroller?
that's good i think we need more side

scrollers.
i'm not thrilled with the 45 dollar thing, i can pay it, no

problem but it's a little steep.
now all we have to wait for is max

shrapnel to come out

Actually it's either/or. I remember in the description it said you could

choose for it to be a sidescroller or a 3.D or whatever the opposite is. I

plan on buying it but it probably won't be for a while if it's gonna be

forty-five bucks. I'll pay  it, mind, but not until I know I can without

messing up things I need to do.

But wait, what's that? A transport! Saved am I! Hark, over here! Hey nonny non, please help!

They are going to be releasing a two temple demo "later this week" (so I

guess tomorrow or maybe SUnday?) and the price change will occurr on Monday.

THe registered version will be separate and downloadable securely by

customers of the game - it will still be shipped on CD.

James

2006-01-13 16:06:46

hi,
great. but, i thought it was 1 temple? hmm? i dont get it. in the

documentation it says about temples and things, but.... hmm..
any thoughts

about this? do you think it is more than 1 temple?

2006-01-13 18:44:37

has anyone else not been able to gain access to general forum the past

day?
i kept on getting this error message. i could access guestroom, but

not general.
so, is it a downloadable game, because i don't want to buy it

unless i know how long it's gonna take me to recieve the goods.

Personally I'm going to wait until it is definitely shipping despite the

$15 price increase - preordering is only necessary if there is going to be a

limited stock and since this is sold right from him ther  isn't which makes

it useless in my book.  Thus I am not ordering until Monday or whenever he

says it's shipping.

James

2006-01-13 22:09:16 (edited by Mike 2006-01-13 22:10:07)

Well

it's still $34.99. Maybe I should get it while it lasts? They seem to be

serious about it coming out this time... And, we will get the game

eventually, or they'll have to give usback our money, its probly illegal to

steal people's money, right?

There's an announcement at the top of the topic list about the

downtime.

And Mike, that comment about stealing people's money was a

little below the belt.

And everyone please remember mainstream developers

have a good size team, accessible games are often written by only one or two

people. The mainstream games also get more sales, so they can charge less

for an equivelant product. Let's not argue about this again...

A

very good point CX2. Most AG developers are just one or two people, which

obviously makes things harder. Well, I'll buy Monty when I feel I can

afford to.

But wait, what's that? A transport! Saved am I! Hark, over here! Hey nonny non, please help!

2006-01-14 18:48:49

wow ,

the fact that we "have to" buy a 45 dollar game because we have no other

games to comper it with makes my "Light" motivation stronger - you'll soon

understand!

2006-01-18 14:51:33

OK, now we're still waiting and it's still not released. I don't know if

that's a serious company, because I also sent an E-mail to them, but they

didn't answer. I hope they didn't answer because they're working on this

game all the time.

Guys

please be patient, I know it is a bit anoying that you are waiting for a

long time, but an AudioGame developer have a real life too.
The feeling is

more efficient, when the game will be released.
I can imagine that

thousands of post will say:
"Hey, buy this game immediatelly! It is

cool!"
Okay, just kidding, but our best friend is the patience, isn't

it?

Best regards
Robjoy

Hi

Robjoy,
you're right, but I was searching for "Montezuma's Revenge

Alchemygamestudios" in the internet and I found out that people are already

waiting for Y E A R S!!! Sorry, but I think those people from Alchemy are

just interested in stealing your money! If you send an E-mail to them, they

don't answer. I also tried to call them, but the number on the website

doesn't exist.

2006-01-19 00:52:07

Just clarifying they've only been waiting for one "y e a r."

James

2006-01-19 05:23:45

robin24:
A little premature, and potentially liablous tongue

I was under

the impression that Alchemy was an established company. In either case

there's certainly no evidence to show any wrong doing or deception. I'll

say this for one more time:
the non release or delay of a game is *not*

evidence that it doesn't exist! No software development project, including

games, ever goes as planned. And finally, the non release or delay of a game

is *not* evidence of a company's intention to defraud

anyone.

Accusations like this are likely to send yet more developers into

the "Why bother" stage. I'm not saying we should pussy foot around

developers, but remember they are humans as well and deserve the same

courtesy that you expect from them. These aren't the faceless companies of

mainstream games and Microsoft, these are often individuals, and if they get

nothing but insults for their work (which by the way is not their main job)

they are likely to decide it just isn't worth the effort.

I suggest

people stop these "doubt-flameath9ons" whilst we still have developers left.

If you can't handle that then at least be courteous in your phrasing, or

better yet don't post at all. This goes equally for everyone.

I

sent 2 E-Mails to them and they never answered. I also tried to call them

but this number doesn't exist. I think their address is also wrong. What

can I do if I send them an E-Mail that I want my money back and they don't

answer me? Look what's on their order site:
"Montezuma's Revenge is

currently shipping and is on sale for $34.95 plus shipping and handling.".

This is a lie for sure, because it isn't released yet. Of course I can

wait, I also waited until DraconisEntertainment was finished without making

posts like that, but I hate people telling lies.

2006-01-19 16:45:31

Have

you considered that the problems might have been last minute, and they

haven't had chance to change it on their site? Please don't make

accusations of deception unless you have a little something called

*evidence*

No matter what will happen now, I want my money back. Do you have an idea

how to do that because Alchemy doesn't answer my E-mails?
