Key for bundle/desura purchasers?

[akuaku]

Any word on this?

Edit: I'll be contacting Indie Royale about getting Steam keys out. Thanks for bringing this up

From what I understand, developers are able to do that through desura. Most games end up distributing those keys through a page like this: http://www.desura.com/games/logigun/keys

I will look into getting keys out for bundle purchasers. However, Desura is a separate storefront and will probably remain separate.

Then you should contact your contact at IndieRoyale for instructions on how to provide keys for Debut 3 purchasers. But be aware that you'll have a backlash from folks who purchased directly on Desura or other storefronts - though I'm guessing it'll be small since not too many people purchase directly on Desura.

Bah. I bought it directly on Desura when it first came out. :p I even posted about it: http://forums.thedigitalfix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9715767&postcount=8
And apparently I predicted correctly. It made number 7: http://forums.thedigitalfix.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9789169&postcount=4 :)


I hope we're at least getting the Desura version updated with the improvements made to the Steam version??

Why don't you check how every other developer does it? I'm continuously amazed by developers who come up with this nonsense as though we don't know how this stuff works. We buy bundles all the time. We know how it works. Don't try to tell us we can't get keys. Don't be that developer.

I didn't buy this bundle, but it's funny when devs says they "can't" because a simple, quick look around will be enough to know...

As others have mentioned, distributing keys is a common issue that hundreds of developers have had to deal with. All of the major game retailers and bundle websites have mechanisms in place to easily distribute keys. Indie Royale and Desura actually use the same pool of keys and distribution backend, so you merely need to provide the keys to Desura and ensure that the option to distribute to IR buyers as well is enabled. That will provide keys to all Desura and IR buyers simultaneously. Desura or IR support should be able to help you accomplish this.

Ehe, no really don't do it...
I don't want to see this board overhelmed by flames because i really like the game...

Sorry about that first response. I should have done some research before I spoke. I'll get keys out to those who bought the Indie Royale bundle soon.

What about Desura direct purchases? Are we going to get a steam key too? Or a patch to the new features of the steam version?

There honestly aren't many who own the game on Desura and didn't buy the bundle. PM SodiumEyes from your Desura account and I'll give you a key directly.

Ah, that's a shame. It's a fantastic game. Hopefully the Steam exposure will help!

Anyway, thanks for that offer, I shall PM you now.
