      No date for the launch party yet. I think we may do it prior to the 1.0 launch. Perhaps when we get on Steam or another one of the large distributors.

      Hey Simon ! Looking forward to seeing you at rezzed ! Shame you could not get a bioth or anything And do we have a date on the LAN party ?

    3. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on June 3

      I'm going to set a deadline for people sometime this week, as I still have only 5/5ths of the addresses from backers.

      Then I'll send them out next week hopefully. I'm still waiting on the company making some of the extra secret goodies going in the poster tubes. :)

      Resending keys to everyone with problems tonight!

      Sean: Read the last updates FAQ. Basically yes, but not until the next release please.

      Creator Sean Beag on May 27

      Is there an NDA on this or can we showcase it on youtube?

      Creator TwoScoops on May 23

      Can't find my key! Can you resend? Checked the spam and deleted. Made sure that I had responded to the survey (I did a while back). Thanks.

      Creator Bryan on May 23

      Can I get my key resent to me, I don't see it in my spam folder, or my deleted emails, so I'm assuming I deleted it and it's been perma-deleted, or something. Sorry.

      Creator S.D. - Ask me about Armikrog. on May 23

      "Indies: Do Desura backers ask for or feel entitled to Steam keys?"

      Lots of Linux backers prefer it for DRM-free, vs. Steam. I, personally, prefer my library on Desura. It's been my experience that the Linux Steam folks would prefer keys on Steam only (and only use Desura for games that Valve won't approve, or haven't yet).

      Good luck, Simoroth! Maia looks awesome. :-)

      Thanks man, registered now. Silly spam filter! Games aren't spam!

    12. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 23

      Michael indeed they have. Your email went out fine, so looks like it got eaten by a spam filter. I will message you your key now!

    13. Missing_small

      Creator Michael Colley on May 23

      Have the keys been sent out to everyone now, or is it still in progress? I'm beginning to think I missed the survey :/

    14. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 18

      Yeah will be putting together a build that supports them. Few issues in doing so that I need to fix. May come in the .27 alpha or the one after. (not entirely sure yet)

      Creator Nian on May 18

      @Simon, With the ATI driver issue, I have several systems in my lan room. Three of them use older Radeon 48xx cards. Because AMD decided to stop driver development on them mid last year, can you test Maia with the last Legacy HD2/3/4000 drivers. The last was a legacy 13.1 with a newish catalyst but a mid 2012 driver.

    16. Sircabbage.small

      Creator Kieron on May 17

      So when is the latest we should expect our kickstarter keys? *not here yet

    17. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 16

      Ryan are you on ATI? If so please download this weeks drivers.

      If not, try a driver update for your GPU. Otherwise you may have to wait for a more stable alpha.

    18. Darthvaderbass.small

      Creator Ryan 'Riot' on May 16

      Activated fine but I am greeted by a all black screen.
      Didn't have time to troubleshoot as off to work! Anyone else getting this or have I completely missed something?

    19. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 15

      Phew, if you guys keep it up at the current rate we are going to hit a terrabyte of bandwidth usage in a day. :D

    20. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 15

      Mark: A lot of people have found pasting it into plain text and ensuring they remove the space at the start and end works.

    21. Missing_small

      Creator Mark Rice on May 15

      I got the key emailed to me but when I try to activate the key it says it is not recognised.

      I have tried it with and without the Kickstarter- part at the front of the code. Any reason why it might not work?

    22. Daxter.small

      Creator Josh Schuyler on May 15

      Just got my key, downloading the alpha test now! So excited!

    23. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 15

      Who needs tech support with backers like this. :D

    24. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Alan Ellis on May 15

      Ah thanks a ton Rebecca!

    25. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Rebecca Hobbs on May 15

      Aha, I noticed that the key has a return space in the middle of it. Try copy-pasting the key into a normal document or an email, take out the space and it might work. :)

    26. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Alan Ellis on May 15

      Mines also not working?

    27. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 15

      Yeah they do. Drop me an email to Support@Maiagame if you still cant get on and I'll double check your key for you.

    28. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Rebecca Hobbs on May 15

      Hi Simon, I've recieved my key but I'm being told it's not valid. Do the keys need to start with "Kickstarter"?

    29. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 15

      (I've been sending them in chunks all week.)

    30. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 15

      Funny you should say that. :D

      They've all gone out! I expect the mailer will be churning through them for a good day or so still though.

    31. Wolf_on_white.small

      Creator Joel on May 15

      Hey Simon have backers been sent keys ?

    32. Matthew.small

      Creator Matthew Hinz on May 8

      We'll definitely see this game before the next installment of Half-Life. I'm sure of that..

    33. Avatar.small

      Creator Christian Syska on May 2

      Soon™. I just hope you're not using Valve Time :)

    34. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on May 1

      Really soon. I got held up for a week by ATI drivers crashing the graphics. ATI just put out an update fixing it though so thats one of the scariest roadblocks out the way.

      Theres an engine test build on the forums that you can mess about with if you want to help us test the stability for the alpha release. :)

    35. Missing_small

      Creator gary on May 1

      So when do we get alpha?

    36. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on April 19

      Check this out. :D

      That is music in my ears. Can't wait to get my hands on the alpha :)

    38. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on April 19

      I did a test mailout again late last night. I haven't had any support requests since. So it looks like we might be good to go soonish. :)

    39. Avatar.small

      Creator Christian Syska on April 19

      @Tom: As far as I understand it, a first batch of keys went out to Indiegogo backers, but there were massive problems with Hotmail treating the mails as spam (or even deleting them, not sure). The Kickstarter keys are delayed until this situation is sorted out.

      @others: feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    40. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Tom Kooijers on April 19

      Is everyone getting keys or only the testers?
      I havent recieved a key yet and im not using hotmail.

    41. Avatar.small

      Creator Christian Syska on April 18

      Is there any rough estimate on when the Hotmail situation will be resolved?

    42. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on April 17

      Seems you did fill in the info OK. So don't panic! :D

    43. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Derek Yager on April 17

      Glad to see you are addressing the ATI issue. I'm sure it's alittle rough to chase down.

    44. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Derek Yager on April 17

      Hey Simon, per your request i'm messaging you here. I tried to contact you directly but it links to FB where it would go into your other folder.

    45. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on April 16

      That said I've got a script to release the site keys ready. Some tiers will have their codes today.

    46. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on April 16

      That was the plan, but we are currently held up by a bunch of gamebreaker bugs on certain system configurations.

      While I could give everyone access, in doing so I would open us to a deluge of customer support type emails since 30% of people would get the crashes.

    47. Wolf_on_white.small

      Creator Joel on April 16

      Yeah in a bit confused something was happening on April the 5th ? Are we meant to be able to play it now ?

    48. Missing_small

      Creator gary on April 8

      were alpha backers supposed to get keys? I didn't get one...

    49. Simonroth.small

      Creator Simon Roth on April 6

      Just realised I forgot to explain in the update. Doh.

      Call signs should be a single word if possible. Will be used in some different places around the game and to give flavour to the characters.

      Creator Daniel Lockhart on April 6

      Okay, cool. :)
