I’m pleased to announce that our second commercial game (and 16th game total if I’m not mistaken) finally has a solid release date.
Spirits of Metropolis will be launched worldwide (duh) October 9th. We’ll have more info on the game before then, including one more small surprise. I’m also happy to say that we’ll start an invitation-only beta September 28th (tentative).
SofM will retail for $9.95 and will support most versions of Windows, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
And yes, I’m fully aware that the idea of release dates and me are laughable at best, but it’ll absolutely be out on that date. Count on it. Woo!

Two questions:
1. Are the vouchers we got from the Liquisity custom level thing still usable? Because I like $5 discounts.
2. Two megabyte custom levels? Are you sure there’s no way to get around that before final release? Because…that’s freaking huge for one level. Seriously.
I forgot about the vouchers…you bet, they’ll be good for the game! As for the custom levels, that was an assumption on my part, as the editor isnt done yet. It could be much smaller when I’m done, I really don’t know. I would think it’s around 700k or so, but I’ll update once I know for sure.
Neato! It’ll take some negotiation, but I think I’ll be able to convince my parents to allow me to get it!
Yeah, I think I can afford ten bucks.
Are you using the same payment method as Shellblast? Would it be silly of me to ask whether Google Checkout was to be a method of payment?
When you say an “invite-only” beta, do you mean you’ll be inviting people?
Nothing gets past you, joe.
I’m not sure on the payment details just yet Lost. Tomorrow is the day I merge up the two games; if all goes well I’ll make the 28th beta deadline. If not…we’ll have to push that back a bit. Game is still set for the 9th.
I meant would HE invite people, or would it be like Gmail or something. =D
Great! a release date!
Maybe not be able to buy it immediately.
Still shooting for that beta deadline today there?
I’m about to make a post about it (short answer: doesn’t seem like it :\ )
