Preorder Overgrowth!

[Glabbit]

Don't think of it as pre-ordering though, think of it as making an investment

Hahahaha, indeed, I've already got a second game along with it, which is quite a surprise! =D
Muahaha, well worth it.
(Although I'll need a new computer should I ever want to be able to play NS2... PPC Mac has no chance for it, it seems xD)

We might be able to work something out BlackArts, just hit the Live Chat button!

I had no time to go online and now I read about the preorder pack, too. I already have Overgrowth preordered, so I'd like to know, If the deal is still true that I can get Natural Selection? Unfortunally I cannot send you a PM Jeff, I get an error, when I click on your name:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/wolfire-admin/public_html/forum/cache/tpl_wolfiregames_memberlist_view.html.php on line 100

[Jeff]

Sure! Go to http://www.wolfire.com/pack?og=1

Oh hey, cool, I have a preoderer tag now. Where'd that come from.
Nice one.

One of the best deals to date (other than the humble bundle) If you have not preordered, you really should.

[Jackrabbit]

Sooooo... if you preorder, you basicly get the alpha that will keep updating until the beta?
and if it's released then you basicly already have the game?
If that's true then ofcourse i'll preorder

[Freshbite]

Yes. Every week, Jeff and John package up a playable release, of what they have updated and added in the last week, for the preorderers to fool around with and test for bugs and errors. The preorderers gets the full-version of the game once it is finished too, of course.

It is a crime to not preorder!

[Jackrabbit]

Ugh.. sorry for asking this stupid random question, but is OverGrowth going to have like a weekly fee or something like that? cause I can't really afford doing that Xd
The reason I'm unsure is that the pre-ordering now is actually paying for an account that let's you get the alpha's of OG and eventually let's you download OG right? but games where you pay for an account usually have a weekly or monthly fee.. I'd really hate to see this with OG
to let you all know, this was my final question before pre-ordering OG, this doubt was the only thing still holding me back from pre-ordering
PS: sorry for long comment

Weekly / Monthly fee? Heck no.

You buy Overgrowth, as you would buy any other game.
However, as an addition, you get to experience the Alpha and Beta testing face.

You don't pay for an account, you pay for a Key, a Key with which you can download every Alpha that has been, and will be, released. By the time that the game is finished, you can download the full game with the same key.

Sooo.. the pre-order actually only has Pros not cons?
Damn that's nice!, I already told John I would pre-order Monday though, just wanted to make sure, it wouldn't have mattered either way

[Freshbite]

I'm glad that you have decided.
I will welcome you in the Secret Preorder Forum when the time comes.

Preordered! Woot!

If we preorder will there be anyway to use the key to play it through steam when/if its on steam?

[Freshbite]

This is a quote from Jeff posted in this thread:

I believe the way it will work is that once we have finished Overgrowth and we are launched on Steam, Steam will give us a huge list of Steam keys for each preorderer. We can email each OG preorder a unique key for you to add Overgrowth onto Steam.

I hope that answers your question.
