Data Realms - Dev Log » Blog Archive » PRE RELEASE Build 19 is here

Projects: Cortex Command (92)
General DRL (8)

Posted by Data in Cortex Command - December 8th, 2007

After doing a first test of the payment system yesterday, rumors leaked out and I don’t think we can hold back the pre-release of the game any longer. So, here it is, for anyone to try. I want to emphasize that it is a pre-release of what we intended to be the commercial version! Next week we’ll try to have a more polished one up and call it the real deal.

Without further ado, the rightmost button below leads to the purchasing page for buying licenses. Since we ironed out the bugs yesterday, things should work smoothly. If there is any trouble though, don’t hesitate to contact us at support@datarealms.com!

BlingShyne2 - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:08 pm
Data this is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played, And I’m posting this from another computer but as soon as I can I’m going to buy 3. No joke.

I can’t wait to try this, keepup the great work!
TrouserDemon - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I wish I could afford this, so much…
Nogfish - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
Does the buyable version work on Macs?
Dirk - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
I’m a bit confused. The lesser version lets you get all of the versions released up to AND INCLUDING the full release?

And what about the more expensive version? Does that get you the stuff released after the first full release?
AGENT15 - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
Thank you, Data.

I was angry before because I thought you were releasing this build to a few people, then making the rest of us wait until next weekend.

My apologies.
Raintail99 - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
MUST…..BUY…..NOAW!
Seriously, I am sooooooooo buying this when i can.
Foogooman - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Wow, awesome! The new intro blew me away! The gameplay is like OMG! Anyways, I bought it but I haven’t received a key yet, how long does it usually take? It said it may take up to 24 hours…
Pelle - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Nice news! In preparation for the final release I hope you’ll make a digg.com-submission for us to show our support and share the wonderful news with the world
Data - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
fooogoo: send me an email to support@datarealms.com if it hasn’t dropped soon. Also, you should have seen the key on the last confirmmation page??

Also, if someone wants to make a digg submission, go ahead.
Kokits - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
There was a conformation key the final page? I didn’t see it. Oops.

I guess I’ll email in… unles the key will be sent through the e-mail.

Data?
Kokits - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Oh! Sorry!

I just got it via e-mail!

Can’t wait Data!

A jorb well done!
Foogooman - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Alright, I got my key. There was a little bit of an E-mail conflict and I was like “WTF” but it’s okay now.
GABE NEWELL - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
This is a excellent piece of work from what I’ve seen. Been following this around for quite a bit.

Although from what I’ve seen, the harsh demo restrictions might keep this game from getting more publicity. Maybe remove the time limit in the game, or allow it to load mods.
Dualies - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
I LOVE YOU DATA!!!

Good, i got so excited i screamed like a girl xD

I seriously think you should forward this more and even sell it in stores :D!!!

oh god i love you

Ummm… what button do you press to go to the next level after you beat the tut?

I’m guessing that there is no level after but I saw people on the forum talking about coalition and crap and made me wonder if I missed a level.

All in all, greeeeeeeaaaaaaat game!!!

Best 38 dollars I ever spent!

Wait, do you get the cheaper one for updates but not the final game?

Jay - # December 8th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Dan: means to unregister your key IE if you uninstall CC for whatever reason, new version of CC comes out, or otherwise aren’t going to be using that particular copy of the game anymore.

If not, try re-installing.

Ofcourse they have to “verify” my purchase by phone, Data, can ya do ANYTHING about that for me? i mailed you the order number already
TGH - # December 8th, 2007 at 4:30 pm

What’s the difference between the “Normal” version and the “Support Data” version? Other than the price, of course.
KamikazeDuck - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Nice! The pricing seems pretty good to me. I love that feeling when you see a new download button on the dev log. Now to find some cash…
KamikazeDuck - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:08 pm
Turkey, I think the support Data one is the same. It’s just an option so you can give Data more money to support him (as the name suggests).
KeroroCanti - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
This is great! I’m going to get the more expensive version for Christmas! And what happened to the green and blue clones? I miss them… Are they in the pay versions? And also, I love the new intro! It’s awesome…

Holy crab.

That’s amazing. You’ll get my purchase as soon as I am able to provide it. If we weren’t in such an economic slump I’d buy the support version.
Predator King (GMI) - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Sorry for the double post, but, I miss the days when my green clones didn’t look like they had their asses on their face
What - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
FUCK YES.
Cleebus - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Man, the price is a bit steep for a game that’s this incomplete (even if it means we get all the updates). I was expecting something more like 10 dorras. Fortunately for me, I have some money lying around on paypal from drawing commissioned art for furries. (don’t ask)

Can’t imagine I’d buy the game at the full price though, if this is the steeply discounted price. even 18.00 can buy me some very good big title games. But I won’t have to. Because I just bought it.

a 5 minute time limit on the demo is pretty lame, I must say. The new actors are sweet, but the four legged ones like the dreadnought or crab don’t handle terrain very well. I still lol’d at the dreadnoughts. Their legs are comically tiny. The tutorial is pretty cool, and I appreciate the new crouching and prone abilities of the actors. The new actors seem to have significantly improved capabilities over the old ones, but I do wish the green clone was around, only cheaper. the new actor select is very handy too. The level editor is pretty sweet.

I don’t understand the actor editor though.

I still wish there was an actors section in the bunker building menu, which contained all the actors available, like there is in the buy menu.
Silverfish - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
There is no green clone~
Erk - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
Data :

Both me and my brother like to play this game.
Will one key unlock both of our games?
Darksinner - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
lets mod the green clone back!
Enropy - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
The demo holds it’s promises. Will buy this tomorrow.

brinlarden - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
AWESOMENESSS.
great update, a little shy on actors/weps but the gibs, art, AI and the game utilities more than make up for it.
go crabs!!!

Because if so, I would gladly accept a key because my parents won’t let me buy anything over the internet, no matter how hard I try.

PS. Nice work Data!

Yes, I would love a registered copy of it for anyone buying multiple copies to further help Data.

ZOMMMMG. I wish there was a full FREE editor, but Special, non-ingame for campaign pieces for the full version, Btw. ROXORZ.
Neoseeker - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
So basically the 39 dollar version is the same thing as the 18 dollar one but when the campaign comes out you don’t have to pay for it?
Chippo - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
No…………..if you buy the normal 1 you get all future release and campaign levels but if a new campaign or expansion pack comes out you have to buy that 1……that one you said is if you want to help out with future development.
Cevius - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
OH YEAH!!!!!!!
Now to find the $22 AUD i need for it…

The more expensive version i think gives you licences to any of Datarealms future games

” This is for people who want to give extra support for further devlopment of Cortex Command and other Data Realms games by paying the full price of the game today. Your help will not be forgotten!”
TGH - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
NEOSEEKER: No. You get the full game when it comes out regardless of the one you buy. The extra 20 dollars it like a “Donate here!” button. It’s to thanks Data for the awesome work.
Jay - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
I love it already. Only issues I’ve found so far:
GIB EDITOR:
-No MOPixel support (grenades, anyone?)
-Cannot create NewData directory that it saves to (You don’t create it first, it crashes, losing all your progress)
ACTOR EDITOR:
-Absolutely no use
GAME:
-Cannot run mods from B18 anymore
-What happened to our M key mat changing and R key resetting?
Chippo - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:58 pm

skimboard - # December 9th, 2007 at 12:56 am

Cleebus - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:55 am
I must say, I wish that the crab actors were actually capable of handling terrain, and moving at a reasonable rate. They’re far worse than the skeletons in previous builds. Sure the Dreadnought is nigh-invincible compared to the rest of the units, but if it can’t even reach the enemy, it really has no point. A limited jetpack would help. Whenever I try to use one, it gets smashed to bits by dropship gibs falling out of the sky before it can do anything. And then any I buy after that can’t get past the dropship gibs (or even the dreadnought body, sometimes).

I appreciate that the one-key, one-install system prevents piracy, but it’s pretty lame that it means we can’t use it on multiple computers. I myself have three machines capable of running the game to at least some extent, and I have older builds of cortex command on all of them. Now I have to pick one, which means I’m not picking my laptop, which means no CC with friends.

Haha nice try, “Gabe Newell”!

We are going to adjust some things for the real release (remember this was a pre-release, right?), one of em is a longer time limit on skirmish…

Tobeh - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:22 am
Got it working after 137 posts :p

Has anyone else got it working when they register and then not working after they exit and log back in?

Nice support too, guys.
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:25 am
After my post ? of course my leetness made it working
just kidding.
So i just played the tutorial map, its so fucking cool !! the new thing that you can send a unit from point A to B is kinda usefull and i love the new walking “spider” turret
http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/2079/spiderturretcm1.png
but normal walking on the ground with that turre tis kinda hard and you cant make it stay on the wall :S just walk on walls but still its cool and the new crouch and crawl too

Now i want this game even more but i cant buy it because my parents are so “afraid” of using visa or something that hackers/spy softwares would take the numbers and etc etc……………………… -.-
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:27 am
Oh and the new loading screen is nice too, everything i see in this new version is cool
And one bug i found, when you are going to place a door it operates and it destroys dirt and stuff :S

Same proplem here, they should make noncredit card payment methods, like PaybyTxM or something other. Because paypal sucks and you need credit to phonepayment tho…
PromoStarr - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:57 am
Ive played and already the 5min demo has fucked me off

So im buying it…

lol

Teh Tutorial map ownz

But i hate how you still have to make your own bunker everytime…

I hope when i buy it i can use the level editor!!

And im playing on paying through phone…hope it works
Skiv - # December 9th, 2007 at 6:01 am
Promostarr: when you own the full version, you will be able to
a) make your own maps(bunker, actor placing etc.)
b) SAVE the maps to sare, play them again etc.
c) you can place the actors even for the second team.

Having some problems starting the program up now for some reason. It loads the old ones up fine but with the new one it shows the desktray icon (so its there) but no window comes up! Argh! what to do. Also… when i played it seems configuration of controls shows 10/11 or 12. =]
Good game though.
Well done Data

Data, I tried playing offline today, and my game returned back to unregistered-mode. I’ve payed for it, and registered it, but am I now going to have to get online everytime I want to play in registered-mode? Or is that just for the test build?

Hellfire999 - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:24 am
I’m kinda disappointed with the lack of content of 7 years’ work but I’m loving the AI and gibs, except the dropship gibs and other bugs. I’ll wait till the “real deal” is released to make a decision to buy it or not. Or will the discount be over by then?
Ghost Bear - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:38 am
Now Data will drink for 2-3 week on money he got and then will think about continuation of development
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:47 am
This game haves one problem, when a dropship drops from sky with high speed it usually causes lag for me because there come so much gibs :O
Kenny Compton - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:54 am
YES! Cabs are awesome, Dreadnaught uses are endlwss. Armored escorts anyone? Can’t wait til I get the full version.
Magnus - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:56 am
I’m liking the new build. The 4 legged actors are cool, but seem more like a novelty rather than a innovation. Data’s gonna have to do something to make there walking a bit better, otherwise there just gonna become useless as the blue clone, who diden’t even get a re-encarnation in this version. The absence of green clones is interesting. But I know there will be tons of mods putting him back in.
Also, am I the only person who noticed the FSM in the dirt of one of the “test” maps? Data, you are just too cool.

Matt - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Theres a big glitch with the doors. They create invisible walls and destroy lots dirt, when choosing where to place them.
JeCa - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Alright, although half of the community probably will hate me for this and the rest will try to find my home and stab me, I actually have to criticize this build. Or not really the build itself. The new actors (both dreadnought, crabs, and Heavies) and the pathfinding systems are awesome. But the demo restrictions seem a bit… harsh. I figured there’d be some restriction to the skirmish mode, but 5 mins? Seriusly, there’s no way I’d fully be able to see what this game has to offer in five minutes. And there isn’t even a part of the Scene editor in there. We’ve got the tutorial version of the campaign, but I doubt there’ll be much more. Now sure, gameplay’s always been limited this far. But completely preventing the game from loading any mods at all completely destroyed the one element that kept me with you from Build 2!

Yes I know it’s only a pre-release and I don’t know how upcoming versions will be, but as it is now I don’t think you’ll get very many people buying the game except for those who’s played and modded the earlier versions.

Sorry.
TheWolf - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Whats up with new icon? It looks like mushroom… But thank you data!!!
Grif - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
Jeca:
The skirmish time limit is going to be increased for the full B19 release.
JeCa - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
@Grif: Yea, saw that just after I posted. Still I really hope there’ll be more things to do in later demo versions. Cause as it is now I’ll probably stick to B17.

Also, with the one key per game system, is there any way to transfer Key’s from Comp to comp if you get a new one or if the old one crash?
Hiro - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
So Data, any word on when this game will be bestowed upon mac users?
Wckdneer - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
I could do the bank payment, but then ill end up with useless money on my paypal D:
i hope i can pay by monday, and if i wont be able to pay when its released then ill have to use bank transaction sadly.
Im installing the test version right now! (got me handy xbox360 controller right here for best playing experience!)
Rag - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Well, I’m almost out of air now I’ve cackled maniacally for the last hour or so, thanks guys!
Sjupp - # December 9th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Well, it was not until recently I discovered this game but I am extremely excited to see how this has turned out(and what it could be)
One thing nobody has mentioned is the controller compatability
and how extremely smooth it works with the game. I prefer the standard xbox 360 wired controller (thats the one ive tested) over the mouse+keyboard control.
So a question/suggestion to Data: Have you ever considered trying to get this to the Xbox Live Arcade? If not. you should really try it. I think it would be a success.
hmmdeblah - # December 9th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
£9.21 for an unfinished game??? And that’s the DISCOUNTED price??? Garry’s Mod is half that and he works his arse off keeping it up to date and the content fresh, I was all for Cortex Command but this is daylight robbery.
demoneyes - # December 9th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
well by paying this price….u can get all the updates up to the ultimate final release of cortex command i think…

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD
Cleebus - # December 9th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
To be fair, paying that price, you get all the updates of garrysmod up until he gives up or dies.

I think that might be the next independent game I buy. I’ve still got $25 USD on my paypal. I didn’t know you could use it on Steam. Never tried.

Why do these tight fisted moronic scrooges judge the price of games according to the price of Garry’s mod?

GARRY’S MOD IS NOT THE FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE PRICE OF GAMES.
So quit whining about a $20 game. IT’S $20! MY LITTLE SIX YEAR OLD BROTHER HAS FOUR TIMES THAT MUCH!

Cevius - # December 9th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
HAHA! Awesome fun: Fill a dropship with as many free crabs as you can bother clicking on.

When the dropship has appeared, Scuttle it quickly for a crab based explosion of epic proportions!

SO MANY CRABS

Hell, im getting hours of entertainment outta the demo alone! Once i buy my key, ill be unstopable!!!
Munchkin9 - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
I love the game in every way. The new robots are great and everything is so much smoother (that might be just me), and the beginning cinematic is just…wow.

But why no mods? or did I miss something?
Sixteen - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
No mods because you didn’t buy
And he changed instance names, so old mods don’t work.

Oh um… How about WebMoney or something like that?

(that will be my first game, that I want to BUY, not to crack…)
Turkey - # December 9th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Guys, you can pay for CC over mail with a money order. It’s a bit more expensive (postage and money order fee), but its still feasible and shouldn’t be overly difficult. So stop begging for keys, Okay? Before you know it, half the comments here will go “N3eD KEe PL0x?! 1 VV1Ll dY3 w/0uT k3y!”
XAKEPART - # December 9th, 2007 at 11:21 pm
Woah… =) I don’t need a key. I want to BUY this game, and after that - GET IT! =^___^= Just don’t know how to buy it… And… I don’t have money for now. LOL

Anyway… “N3eD KEe PL0x?! 1 VV1Ll dY3 w/0uT k3y!” - sad truth, but not for me.
Skiv - # December 10th, 2007 at 2:15 am
Turkey: same thing i thought It was more expensive to buy the game when you live in Europe (+ 2-3 more) but its worth it.

Data, if this was like 10 dollars I’d be able to pay. But I think I’ll have to use a crack, because 20 dollars is absurd! I really support your work, but this is ridiculous. Sorry, Data, but I’ll have to use a keygen or crack. $20 is the DISCOUNT, imagine what the full price is.
L7D - # December 10th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Data:

door glitch

I don’t know if this was mentioned or if you know (you probably do) the doors’ movement clears away the dirt so it can open and close and avoid obstruction, but before it is placed, the door animation is previewed and that clears away a path. essentially that can be exploited to dig an underground catacomb or base without the use of lots of time from manually digging.

hopefully that will be fixed. i know it can be because you fixed the glitch where if you moved the characters upon placement really fast that they would shatter or lose their limbs. that was actually fun to do for a while on purpose.

i love the soundtrack! and the art. can’t wait for full release, already bought the key
L7D - # December 10th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
ah yes, Matt had already described the glitch in a very short and elaborate manner. invisible walls and clearing dirt.

can you rotate item placement? I dunno how if there is… there should be a function to flip objects and whatnot.

And I would prefer not having to buy two… Would there be some way if i told you the IP address for both computers? and make it only work with those? Thanks.

Cleebus - # December 11th, 2007 at 12:21 am
I tried out the AI today on an underground bunker. It is better than it used to be, in that they’ll actually TRY to break into a sealed bunker. Problem is, they’re still incredibly bad at it. They kill each other when entering the bunker, sealing it again with their corpses. This, in effect, probably makes death mode more difficult than normal or easy. they maul each other with their diggers.

Gold dig AI mode is broken; almost never will it do anything but point the digger straight up and wave it about uselessly. Sentry mode is the same, but now, for some reason, switching bodies often causes the actors to fall on their butts.

Also: dropships are the deadliest thing in the game. To anyone. if the dropship dies upside down, it sends it’s doors flying with a vengance. The gibs are deadlier than the spinning, out of control dropship bodies ever were.

It’s a nice touch that shooting the engines sometimes causes the engine to fly off into space, leaving the dropship an engine short. Rockets don’t gib.

Crouching is useful and works pretty well, but it does damage and kill actors more often than it probably should.

I can’t wait for the actual release. If the tutorial mission is any indicator, the real levels are going to rock.

Whoops, forgot my hat.

WoW, People are already cracking the game, and trying to scab codes >.> its been out what? A few days :\
MC123 - # December 11th, 2007 at 5:12 am
Wicked!
I hope the registration system isn’t using set regi codes, but using softWrap or the like.
CaveCricket48 - # December 11th, 2007 at 5:50 am
This…is…AWSOME!!!
around the one hundreth post, some people asked about people who bought multiple copies if they could have there keys.
if anyone is buying more than oone, could you give a key to me? my parents won’t let me get it.
Dan - # December 11th, 2007 at 6:14 am
@CLEEBUS

That’s a know problem with the new AI they dig into the air then turn around killing other clones.

Dropships kill themselves on landing too they act like giant frag grenades when all the debris parts fly off.

Robber - # December 11th, 2007 at 8:51 am
Should the gold dig mode already work or is it still under development?
My “miners”(I already some different actors) only dig up right up into the air and don’t do anything else.
XDevil - # December 11th, 2007 at 10:02 am
DIGITAL is right..

U ROCK… but.. why… only 5 min. 2 play tzzz^^… nice work
L7D - # December 11th, 2007 at 11:55 am
yeah, the gold dig AI mode is pretty silly right now. He dug a hole straight through the bunker, almost taking the brain out with it.

AI is a lot better, but they do end up killing each other a lot. i was constantly sending waves of drop ships with guys. then my demo time ran out
Cobar - # December 11th, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Ordered the Support Data realms Edition
Elite Ormen - # December 11th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
Please i beg you!
make a Demo version of Build 19 where we can play the game for more than 5 min.
PLEASE!
gexecuter - # December 11th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
“Please i beg you!
make a Demo version of Build 19 where we can play the game for more than 5 min.
PLEASE!”

they really need to make this happen,remember a demo is supposed to sell a game,with the time limit on is hard to get enjoyment of the skirmish mode because when the fighting gets good the demo ends.

another thing in skirmish mode there is no opposite enemy brain,therefore finishing an actual game is impossible unless you get your own brain destroyed or the time limit runs out, data realms should place a random enemy brain bunker so that skirmish have a sense of objective rather that just plain goofing around.

PS:thx to the people who visited my blog

Somebody, it’s been tried before. We should probably give it another shot once the official commercial version comes out.
Oh, and I’m getting the same digging AI error as Pie2.1 and L7D.

And yet I suppose I’m one of those lazy nerdy teens because I’m 15, right?

Great game Data. Played since around build 11 or 12, so I guess I jumped on late. Nonetheless, it’s been great to see this evolve into something as good as this - it really felt like a commercial product this time. The only gripe I have is that five minute limit - I know, I shoujld buy the game, but I’m rather broke and my parents think that the entirety of the internet is out to steal their identity.

Anyway game looks brilliant. Sorry for saying that I’m just soo scared!!!

Perhaps the flashing button labeled “register”?

Yes, because this makes them more willing to help.

Congrats guys on the release, I’ll be registering my copy in the near future, when I get around to some free time.
Data - # December 12th, 2007 at 12:37 pm

“AI also doesn’t notice WHEN YOU’RE DIRECTLY BEHIND IT SHOOTING ITS HEAD OFF.”

yeah…that`s pretty stupid, they don`t even turn when i start shooting them,this game is awesome but it needs more polish.
Noah Burkholder - # December 12th, 2007 at 7:21 pm
I noticed the same, it’s a little easy to stealth kill that way.
Hellfire999 - # December 12th, 2007 at 7:44 pm
This is definitely not worth 40 bucks, I know you need the money Data but that is just overkill. Unless the “polished version” is REALLY good and has A LOT of content.

I’m going to get CC tomorrow. How does the registration work? When I complete the buying process, the key will be sent automatically to my e-mail or what?
Hellfire999 - # December 12th, 2007 at 9:38 pm
It WILL be 40 bucks, read the support data version description.
L7D - # December 12th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
The AI test you have where there are no human players… are we going to be able to do that? I’d like to see how the AI react to certain things without me interfering a lot.
Data - # December 12th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
L7D: that test was just me not controlling anything on my team, so they were all effectively AI as well.

Cobalt: Exactly like that.

The AI needs polish, no doubt. We will be working on it throughout the making of the rest of the campaign.
whitty2 - # December 12th, 2007 at 10:50 pm

and if anyone has a spare key, email it to me at mesadaniel@fastmail.fm
Carp - # December 12th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
@Hellfire999: Data has stated that the /only/ difference between them is the price; it’s called “support Data” because you’re paying $20 more as a donation. You miss nothing by buying the $18 copy.
Cyborg - # December 13th, 2007 at 4:36 am
I cant freekn download build19.
It downloads upto about 62 persent and then complets the rest in one jump.

Raymastereo - # December 13th, 2007 at 6:37 am
This is so awesome! I love how they gib now. I really want to get this. But I can’t because I don’t have a credit card. =[.

If anyone is feeling generous, could you be as kind sending me a spare key to raymastereo@hotmail.com?

Thanks.

Robber: it’s absolutely no problem. Worst case, you just send us an email to support@datarealms.com and we reset the key for you immediately.

In the next version though, the uninstaller will unregister your key automatically, so this shouldn’t be an issue any more. Again, noone will ever lose their money by uninstalling - just email us and we’ll sort it out.

wer wohl(f) - # December 13th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
I can see how this game is becoming better and better. I’d like to suggest some little “improvements”:

1. Steadily increasing Gold: Now what I personally would like to see the most in some future release, would be the possibility not only to set the starting amount of gold, but to set a steady gold flow (like 5 gold per second) which every player would get, even without mining (or maybe some destroyable oil rig with such feature). Well maybe it’s just because of the current AI but ATM the whole digging part is forcing you out of action, and setting the starting amount of gold very high just isn’t the same. Of course I mean to ADD this to the mining, not to replace the mining.

2. Preplaced Bunkers: I’d also like to see an option during the bunker placement to use preset bunkers (set by the map designer), like it used to be in older releases.

3. Quick Weapon Switch: Since the new Pie Menu, you have to reenter the menu everytime you want to switch to the next/previous weapon. I’d recommand: while holding the menu button, you could switch weapons with previous/next actor buttons without the menu closing. Also it should read whitch weapon is currently selected.

I hope these suggestions help you somehow.
Robber - # December 13th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
@DATA: Ok, thanks for your help. But Vista made a copy of the whole CC folder 12 hours ago and I could restore it.

@WER WOHL(F): 2. You can use the scene editor
3.You can press right and still hold the inventar key and fire and it will switch the weapon. So you dont have to reopen the pie menu.

OK, data so lets clear some thing up for everyone ok.
correct or add thing if i messed up or forgot something.
(I will probably miss a few thing so… yeah…)

1: when you buy the pre-game version you will get all updates for the game.

2:You have to have the Reg. Key to have mods work with the game.

3:Any problems with registering e-mail his support address support@datarealms.com

4:Have fun and don’t rush the game. To get best gaming results wait for him to finish the game, do the game test, then post a new dev log entry. So don’t bite his head off because you love the game.

5: Have FUN FUN FUN!
