Title: Time of release
Post by: alt_georgios on October 15, 2009, 11:38:57 am
What time will the game be released at October 16th so we can download it? 12am? And in which time zone is that?

I am so eager to play it  ;D

Either something bad is going on with the release or noone is taking a moment to answer. I hope it's the latter (although this is impolite)

It's not necessary for you to have pre-ordered the game in order to receive the soundtrack.
See below. =o)

[T]he soundtrack is free part of the game, when downloaded/bought from the Machinarium website. Otherwise it may not be included. So it is actually good idea to buy the game directly on machinarium.com.

I can't see why anything bad would be happening.  The game's finished, has been reviewed, and - I assume - is all ready to go.

It's here ! ;D I've just received the e-mail. :)
There is an official Linux version, and the complete soundtrack ! :D

Post by: Neil on October 16, 2009, 12:21:47 am
Have the emails really been sent out already? I lost access to my email account because my host went bankrupt, I think that means my $17 preorder has gone down the drain :(

I just sorted the situation out today and hoped my email would be back up and running in time for the email tomorrow.


Title: Re: Time of release
Post by: edasx on October 16, 2009, 01:08:02 am
not for me.

but i guess i am one of the last in the queue as i preordered yesterday.

Cool!  How do you feed?  1st came 1st served?  Yet I haven't received it...  Going to bed in 1 hour so maybe better like this otherwise I could want to complete the game skipping the night...  nah, I would not enjoy it if I was to complete it in a single day.

BTW when was it compiled?  Does it include a few last fixes or it is the build from last week?

Hope the response from the public is good and you got plenty of pre-order.

When did you pre-order? I'm just thinking that maybe because I was one of the first people to pre-order the game, I might be on the very bottom of that contact list. Anyway, have to work here for another 6 hours so it's not the end of the world.

Also, can anyone tell me the size of the download (game only)? Thanks.

I just checked my email when I got up this morning and there it was, waiting for me.  Thanks Amanita Design!  I have SO been looking forewards to getting this game.  The file size is 363 mb to whomever asked.

*S*

@ Ilsyde: 346,5 MB. :) one hour left, seems like I'm not the only one downloading at the moment!


Title: Re: Time of release
Post by: Fien on October 16, 2009, 11:49:50 am
I must have been one of the first people to pre-order it too (5th of July), but I haven't received any  email yet either.
I was hoping to start playing the game today.

Oh well... off to pout. :)


Title: Re: Time of release
Post by: Fien on October 16, 2009, 11:55:22 am
And here it is! The moment I posted, the email arrived.  :-*
Download time: 4 hours and 38 minutes, 21 KB a second.  Wow, I guess I'm not the only one downloading...

Is there an issue with hotmail accounts?  I preordered in August but have't recieved an email yet

I recently convinced a friend to buy the game from the site also (which he did only last week) and he has recieved his mail and is happily downloading as we speak.  But he used he work email, which is why i asked.

Seeing as the game is DRM-free - would it be unethical of me to use his download once he gets it?  I mean i have paid for the game already after all?

I really wanted to play this over my lunch hour, and i'm less than 2 hours away!   


Title: Re: Time of release
Post by: Neil on October 16, 2009, 12:25:39 pm
I got my email at about 9.10am GMT, I ordered on the 13th of July.

I'm relieved, but if the estimate is accurate it's going to take almost four hours to download. Only getting 25Kb/s despite my 10Mb/s connection, must be the server working hard.

Ah well, I got Brutal Legend in the post a day early yesterday, and World of Goo on sale the day before. A good week for video gaming. I suppose I'll enjoy those until this is downloaded.

So the full game is up...

Can i cancel my pre-order and just buy it from the site again.  Would that be quicker?

I have not recieved the link to download the game (preordered) either!

What's happening?

How comes that some of us who have preordered it, get it not first but last (since it's avaliable all over the internet for digital distribution).

My mail is on Gmail.... it's not in the spam...

please be patient we are still sending - it's more problematic then we thought but everybody should have the email with the download links today. we really appreciate you have pre-ordered the game earlier as it helped us to finish it. thanks!

Sorry if my tone is coming across a bit harsh, I do understand the trials and tribulations of indie development.  Chalk it up to having an eagerly anticipated hit on your hands :)

(still no email incidentally :P)

Same here, maybe a bit faster.  It varies a lot, from 20KB/s up to 55KB/s, average 30KB/s.  Glad the email was there when I woke up.
