Curious Artila Mike B. Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looks like the Windows demo is up. But, you have to go to the web link to find it. I downloaded a few hours ago. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it's downloadable now if you know where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Dominance Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Is that only the demo or is the full version downloadable if you buy it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Mike B. Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 That's why I waited a few hours before posting after I downloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Dominance Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ok cool. I hope it's announced pretty soon and actually released so I can get the full version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The official release is planned for some time tomorrow. Then it will be available here and on Steam. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm sure you can buy the full version now, but it's unlikely you'll finish the demo before it's officially announced, so you may as well just wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The full version is downloaded as the demo. When you purchase the game you get a registration code that unlocks the rest of the game so you don't need to download again or start a new game.

Tenderfoot Thahd Dominance Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Cool, so if I buy it now do I get the code or do I have to wait until actual launch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 That's not a bad question. With the new registration system, you can probably register now. Add a note that it's for Windows, if it matters, but I don't think it should. —Alorael, who considers this more of an advantage for Windows buyers who are sure and want to beat the rush. And hey, if you hate your purchase and wish you could take it back, you can! But if you're that sure, you probably won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Alex Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I managed to register the Windows version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 And I haven't even managed to find a download link. Where did you download it from ? Its not on the Spiderweb website, not on steam, and hasn't been announced either here or in Facebook. And I had been googling it every 15 minutes for the past three hours. Boo hoo. Somebody help.

Seasoned Roamer Sterno Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 1. Click on the link to download the mac version. 2. It should take you to a page where the download begins automatically. You can cancel that download since you don't actually want the Mac version, but stay on that page. 3. Right-click the "click here" link on that page, which will give you the direct file download for the Mac version. Copy the link location. 4. Paste that link into your browser, but change the file extension to .exe. 5. Enjoy the demo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk K.I.L.E.R Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Download link please? I already bought the key, now I need the demo, and so I can activate and play. NM: Too excited. EDIT: It works. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEE!!!!11111111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hey, thanks a lot. I thought you were pulling my leg at first, but I got the download. If SW had already uploaded the setup file, why didn't they mention it? Anyway, I felt really smart nicking it out of Spiderweb's servers (hehehehehe). Thanks again, and I look forward to enjoying the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Sterno Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I don't know. Pretty sure the same thing happened with the Avadon release too, and from what I read on the forums, that wasn't the first time. Whether or not Jeff does it that way as a little bonus to eager fans who know where to look, or if it's just a security oversight that he doesn't feel is particularly high priority to fix, I've never seen official word either way on it. I doubt he's terribly stressed out that people are downloading and buying his game a few hours early. Based on how it went for Avadon, I fully expect the official link will be up in a few hours anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Kreador Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Jeff probably puts it up and makes sure the download populates through the various mirrors and other services before putting up the official links. Minimizes his problems with people complaining that a particular link isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt TriRodent Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Worked like a charm, thanks much for the head's up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Jeff has the links up a day before the official release to test them and make sure they all work before letting most players know about them. Players don't want to spend time trying to download something that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk K.I.L.E.R Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It has been up on Steam for a while now, but the page is not updated on Spiderweb's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Dominance Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think it's a good thing it was up early that some people can find it, because still they are paying for the registration, kind of like a reward to loyal customers So I hope they don't change that.
