I've just got a quick question about the rewards for the Kickstarter campaign. - Sorry if the answer to this is obviously written elsewhere (Which it must be as I can't find anyone asking similar questions!) but I can't seem to find it.

 

When will the different reward tiers start rolling out? I'm not too bothered about when I get the extra cool stuff, but I was curious as I haven't heard anything. I'm getting the GOG credit, autographed art print and also involved in an easter-egg.

 

I'm guessing that most of them will be once the game is complete? - So it just means another thing to look forward too! But it would be great to know.

 

Cheers!

Based on my own experience with other projects, all of the physical goodies are gonna be shipped out at the same time as the game launches. As for the digital rewards, they can release them pretty much at any time as long as they aren't related to the game itself (i.e. the game, soundtrack, etc).

 

I'm most interested in when they're gonna send out the survey, though. And the request for photos for the fan card, wall of fame, and "alienization" portrait by Mark.

I wonder if we'll have input on our 'personal easter egg' or if we're at Scott's mercy...either way it will def be a treat and honor to have a 'mark' in our honor in the game so to speak! :D

I've asked him about my alien and apparently they've already come up with it so it seems we're at their mercy. ;)

Anyone heard any news on how far along (roughly) things are with the game?

 

Are they still designing stuff, or is all being programming, etc. now?

My impression of the typical game development process is game designers, artists, and programmers working in parallel, and puzzles being tweaked iteratively as they get programmed and are able to be play tested. I think the only time it might be "all programming" is after the game is released, and they are just doing updates for reported bugs...

 

PCJ would be the one with most insight as to actual reality for TGA team however.

Indeed, can't talk much about it though. Rest assured progress is being made, anyway. :)

ok cool. So it seems like no news then :). As long as I haven't missed out I'm happy!

 

Would be good to know if they have some timeframes for it. - Although, I did just see a two guys facebook post saying to expect something in the next couple of days! Exciting!

I wouldn't expect a discussion of timeframes in tomorrow's announcement. But it's exciting news nonetheless. ;)

Dang! Oh well, any news about spaceventure is good news!

Update just went up!

It's at times like this you realise how short Murphy is.
