will you get early access with a kick starter contribution?

We'll find out next week, but given it's already in a workable state, I would imagine so.

 

[Muska]

Yes you do, with certain tiers.

[craptakular]

In that case I will go with Squad Leader package, Arma 3 is turd so I need something to play!

 

[MarkeR]

$100 package for me... Looks like I will be giving away a friends key

Watch your back melbo

70 dollars min to get into EA, well they can stick it where the sun don't shine!

 

[neoboy]

Won't even have a computer to play this in the next year so may keep it simple with a backer key for now.

$30 gets you into Early Access...

 

[Ayahuasca]

I'll probably go for the $70 package as well.

Reading fail

 

[Muska]

$30 only gets you $5 off the early access price...

That bit confused me too, but it states a game key below. So I presume you get the game key which also provides Steam early access. This would ordinarily cost $35, so you save $5.

 

[craptakular]

Reading it again I think I'll go for Commander access so I get pre-alpha closed super dooper mega access.

There are so few games to play atm :/

 

[Muska]

I think the game key is separate, for the release, but I could be wrong. Its a little wooly!

Either way, I think I'll back it to take part in the early access, it looks like a good project and listening to the DDG video the Dev talking sounds passionate about getting it right.

 

[Xcept1]

If you guys have any questions or want some things clearing up about the Kickstarter then let me know on here and I'll try and get some answers.

 

[Muska]

Nice one

Is the $30 backing making the early access $5 or $5 off that additional cost?

I guess an idea of when the early access starts (if it's not already live)

Cheers.

• Closed pre-alpha = using our current key system (we distribute ourselves) - Right after KS (Rewards are given when KS succeeds, can't give you rewards with money we don't have)
  
• Closed alpha = using limited steam keys (download through steam) - TBD
  
• Open alpha = early access = using open steam sales (download through steam) - TBD

All packages Rifleman and above give you Early Access keys.

The other stuff, we are having a big meeting tonight to go over the latest feedback, please be patient with us, we are going to be as transparent as possible with all of you.

whoops I meant closed Alpha.

The whole idea of EA is that you get to play builds of a game as it progresses. The $30 doesn't state you get to play closed Alpha builds which God knows how long will last, it could be a year until the game comes out of Alpha since the other packages mention PRE Alpha

 

[Muska]

Thanks Xcept1.

Yes, thats why I am going Commander!!!!!!

At least you won't have been butt raped by Electronic Arts this time.

£50 for base game and £50 for PRemium and micro transactions.
