Steam Keys for Existing Customers

[Hanako]

If you already own a copy of Long Live The Queen, either as a download from hanakogames.com or a boxed copy, please go here to claim your Steam key:

You will need your license key from your original purchase (there are instructions on that page about how to find it)

Thank you.

[Melanc]

This is awesome, thanks!

[Chizu]

might want to sticky this :p

Neato, this is the way to go :)

Now here comes a unusual question: Does this apply in reverse? (i.e. buying the Steam version and wanting to get a non-Steam version, useful if you get mad and ditch Steam in the future, want a non-DRMd version without waiting for a bundle, or simply something to play offline if your Internet dies and the Steam client decides to play hardball with you).

Anyway, the game sounds interesting. I'll be giving a try to the demo. Being available for Linux is another big plus on my book, so thanks!

You could just buy it through Hanako's site for a drm-free version and use the license key to get a steam key, instead of doing backwards.

Thanks so much for doing this! Worked like a charm for me.

[HarleyCheshire]

Thank you so much and congrats on getting on Steam! The website was easy to use and worked perfectly.

[Leondre]

Awesome, thanks for the assistance in locating my key.

When I tried entering my key, Steam gave me a "Duplicate Product Code" error:

The product code you've entered has already been activated by an existing Steam account, and is therefore invalid. Your activaion of Long Live The Queen has not been completed.

I fyou have previously registered this CD Key to a Steam account and do not remember the account name, please click 'Retrieve Account' to receive an email containing your Steam account name.

Unless I activated my code on some secret account I have which I don't even know about while sleep-walking... I'm not sure what's happening here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hm, that's odd - you may have found a bug. Go to {LINK REMOVED}http://nettle.spikycaterpillar.com/log.html and send me a note that you're Elegant Caveman, your Long Live The Queen license key, and the Steam key that's triggering the Duplicate Product Code message, and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on.

Darn. I was thinking of getting it directly from Hanako Games, but thought against it because of the Steam version have Trading Cards.

I could have gotten this game and a Steam Copy by just foregoing the 10% and paying the full price of $9.95 instead of the Steam copy which is $8.99 as of this time.

So, could we owners of the Steam copy ever get a license key for the non-Steam version? Its too late to get a license key from Hanako as I got the Steam copy.

PS: I just bought it now (Steam copy), after enjoying the demo. Speaking of demos, the demo gave me the option to save the game so that I could continue where I left off. Where is the saved file?

[76561198083519567]

You should be able to load the saved game from the full version, they use the same default save location.

Linux: ~/.renpy/LongLiveTheQueen/
MacOS X: ~/Library/RenPy/LongLiveTheQueen/
Windows XP and 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\RenPy\LongLiveTheQueen\
Windows Seven and Vista: C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\LongLiveTheQueen\

AppData and ApplicationData may be hidden on some Windows installations; if so, going to %APPDATA% in Windows Explorer should take you there.

Now, about us LLTQ Steam copy owners...can we have our own non-Steam license keys? I didn't realize that I could get a Steam Key by buying straight from Hanako, though I thought about it at first. I chose to get LLTQ from Steam because of the Steam Cards and Achievements.

If I knew that getting a license key from Hanako could get me a Steam Key as well, I could have gotten it from Hanako instead even if I had to pay $9.95 instead of $8.99

[76561198083519567]

(Note to self: we need to make it more obvious that direct sales lead to license keys!)

I don't know whether or not we'll be distributing non-Steam license keys to Steam customers -that's something Hanako and I will need to talk about a bit first before either of us can say anything with certainty!

From a player perspective - what would the benefits of getting non-Steam keys with a Steam purchase be?

[Umami Mami]

I'm so excited and so glad you guys got greenlit! I bought this game and played it like crazy over the summer (boyfriend bought it for me for my birthday off the other website) Thank you for making porting it to steam so easy (and achievements! Yay!)
