Any chance of this getting a physical copy release?
« on: September 15, 2010, 04:56:37 AM »
This game looks really cool and I was wondering if there were any plans to release a physical boxed version of this game. I don't really play PC games because I prefer this type of game which is usually only released on consoles in the US. But, for numerous reasons, I just will not purchase digital downloads.

unfortuantely whilst the game is indeed good, its not huge as the price might give away, to sell in store the game has to be rated, to be rated costs money, lots of money, then you need to produce disc's and if you lack the facility to do so yourself a publisher who will get that set up for you...

short answer probably not but hey this is just educated guess work, it would be like giving an xbox live arcade game of say "shadow complex" a boxed release.... its probably never going to happen man up shell out or else you wont be playing it.

No, it won't. But it is why indy games can get made.

Without digital distribution  games like this simply would not be made at all.

It won't be long before you don't have a choice, its just the way the industry is going. Even console games are headed towards digital download.

1) Buy it from Gamersgate or Impulse
2) Copy the entire game directory to a USB stick/CD
3) Print whatever picture you want and stick it in the CD case

Congratulations, a physical copy.
