They seem to have gone out of their way to try and differentiate themselves via a repeated mantra. But I've yet to see how they really differentiate from what AtariAge is doing. Although they probably don't seek out nor accept submissions of games developed outside the "company". It's all developed "in-house" so-to-speak. They are different, they are not a publisher for other developers. Just a self-published title, like everything else. A company would have the orders ready to ship, before accepting orders. Made to order is like Etsy, which is homebrew. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGC Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm sure they are doing the best they can. At the same time, it's a bit frustrating seeing people who ordered days after the release getting them in the mail before people who purchased within the first hour.

Tempest Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I got my standard edition yesterday. I didn't know there was going to be anything special for the first 250 orders, so that was nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were up front about their games being made-to-order, but they also beat their chests about being A Real Big Boy Legitimate Game Company, and gave the impression that they were all ready for the big launch when the game went on sale. I can only speak for myself, but this was a big influence on my decision to pony up the premium price for the game. We're, what, 17 days out from the game going on sale, and people who ordered right out the gate still haven't heard word one about what the time table is going to be? Nobody give me this "Well, this ain't Amazon" bullshit either. You want to talk the talk of being a "premium" game company, then at least a simple courtesy e-mail or tweet to let people know when they're not getting what they were led to believe they were getting is in order. If you weren't set up to handle even 1,000 orders in a timely manner, y'ain't any different from anyone else who deals in these kinds of products, and you ought not to be trying to give anyone an impression otherwise. At the end of the day, no human being ever died or went broke from not receiving a toy on time; this is not the end of the world. The game looks good. People are saying it's worth the wait. Cool. I like the guys' work, and I don't begrudge them getting compensated for their time and investment. Until I have the thing in my 7800 and finding the game makes up for the wait, however, this is leaving a sour taste in my mouth about the enterprise, and I don't feel any need to not say so, or defend the company. Under-promise and over-deliver if you don't want people crawling up your nose over stuff like this.

+D Train Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 2066 just landed and I was able to order in time to be one of the first 250. yay! last time we checked, we were at (444-10 on March 20) 434 VIP sales and now there are 545 standard edition sales (as of 5/25) for a total of 979. I wonder what the actual number of sales is now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I got my ship notification Saturday. As of yesterday it was showing a possible delivery for tomorrow. But given the USPS currently, that could be today or end of next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that it will be arriving later than expected. This is now twice in a row this has happened with USPS. Heavily considering only using UPS and FedEx for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithbk Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Just so you know, USPS has a policy in place that if ANYONE in any facility tests positive for COVID, they shut the facility down and test everyone. This has resulted in delays/reroutes in the system. Edited March 30, 2021 by keithbk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Well, I was joking about it but #2206 standard edition was indeed in my mailbox when I got home from work. So why a first class packaged that technically didn't even ship until yesterday morning is already in my mailbox in one day, but a package I sent on the 23rd for 2-day priority didn't even leave my city until the 27th is beyond my understanding right now. Still, I got mine and will likely give it a go finally later tonight on my 7800. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hesitant using the first class since it was under 4 dollars if I remember correctly. I thought it could possibly show up in a bubble envelope so I went with priority.

Yes, it came in a nice sturdy box, despite me picking the cheapest USPS first-class mail for shipping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I guess I was expecting small batches to get sent out with the pricey orders first so havent been expecting much. Havent heard anything though since the initial order. An email update would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it did same as @DrVenkman's did above. In fact it was in a bubble wrap bag within the box along with a printed invoice for the game purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see someone already has 89 stars on emulator. I guess it'll be a battle of time to get top spot. Judging by the game play times and number of stars found, I'm not worried about game length. It looks like it'll take a good amount of time to find a decent amount of them before you get to know where things are. I've been playing on emulation and am glad the high score list shows platform as well. I'd really like to see the option to filter by platform, or for there to be two scoreboards, as I see a lone console player at the bottom of the top ten, but really they're #1 among console players. I'm intrigued by how several people have more than 80 stars, since the game says there are 80 total. Maybe there are bonus stars to be found if one uncovers all the game's secrets. So far using no save states I've managed 60 out of 80, and 4 out of 5 keys. It's a game I'll definitely be playing for some time to come, especially with the Perfect Game patch enticing me to keep trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the easter egg that David Crane mentions in the manual likely takes you past the 80 stars I'm guessing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Got mine a couple of days ago! Standard edition #2222. This morning I got another shipping notification from Audacity with another tracking number. Any idea what that's about? I didn't order anything else or pay for any extras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
