As marinator told you, take it easy. I suppose James is having fun with his little one while still being busy at work.... Let us be surprised.Glen wrote:

Don't forget that they also have life outside of GR, as we all do. But still, they're making a game and it's not every day that they can give us news about something. 
I don't want to be surprised, I want Generally 2 to be as expectedDuklaLiberec wrote:Let us be surprised.
You have to understand that there is a big matter of money behind, they need to raise a consequent sum to develop the game. Subsequently, the public version of the game, that will not only be presented to the community but to the whole world (because a large part of the funders expected aren't (yet) from the community), must be almost perfect, very convincing and baiting. It means a lot of work and a lot of thinking before releasing something that could convince a wide amount of people. That explains (in addition to their respective lives) that it takes time.Glen wrote:I don't want to be surprised, I want Generally 2 to be as expectedDuklaLiberec wrote:Let us be surprised.
There are some limited quantity perks available (needed simply so we can actually put a finite cap on the budget), but drop me an email to <my name> at curiouschicken.co.uk and we'll work something out for you so you don't miss outtonyyeb wrote:James, I'm on holiday during that week, will I miss out on any potential limited quantity offers?
That's very nice of you James. I'll try to check Kickstarter while I'm away but if not I'll hopefully (cause you've sold out!) be in touch, thanks very muchJames wrote:There are some limited quantity perks available (needed simply so we can actually put a finite cap on the budget), but drop me an email to <my name> at curiouschicken.co.uk and we'll work something out for you so you don't miss outtonyyeb wrote:James, I'm on holiday during that week, will I miss out on any potential limited quantity offers?
lol yeah! it wouldnt be GR unless the wheels and smoke looks like ballsputtz wrote:Great update! I agree about the wheel thing, the spherical wheels gives GR a unique quality that makes it clear that it is a GR car. Also a big thumbs up
Yup, you're quite right. In hindsight, the webplayer was less of a good idea than we initially thought. It seemingly has some pretty serious performance issues on some hardware configurations. We're going to be deploying standalone builds for KS and going forward - we're working out the final logistics of that for the KS build this week.Whiplash wrote:One thing is for sure: You can not expect new people to be interested to the game without releasing the "ordinary" (non-browsered) demo. It's just impossible to enjoy the game while playing it as it's now. A "normal" demo should be downloadable for all the people once the Kickstarter's campaign is started.

Yup, Steam is definitely something we're considering. We do want to ensure we have something that's actually generating enough interest first, though - and it's possible we'll launch Greenlight at some point during the Kickstarter funding if everything goes well and we look like we'll meet our target fairly quickly.puttz wrote:I believe they are considering putting it on Steam Greenlight to be able to get more exposure for the games. If there is an online component, being able to host games and invite people through Steam might be a nice option.

Well, I'm really sorry to see you feel this way about it. We always take community feedback seriously - and whilst we know we can't satisfy everyone, we do aim to try and satisfy as many as possible.puttz wrote:Okay, sorry, but I have to say I think it's crap to have the paid version be able to have more cars than the free version. It should be the same for both. That is crippling a key feature of the improved version of the new game, which I thi nk is against the GR spirit. The paid version was supposed to be the free version with extra features added, and I wpuldn't consider number of cars to be a "bonus feature" as that can severely change the game experience.
