Still waiting on my art book and physical soundtrack as well.

Creator Ben 4 days ago

Still haven't received my physical goods yet (art book and soundtrack). What's up with that?

Creator saige 5 days ago

@Braedon de Grasse - No update on it yet. I haven't gotten mine either. The last update on them was that they were delayed to April.

Creator Archon - Obsidian Order Illusive Man 5 days ago

As STEAM is having a Week-long Sale on SSZ, I stopped by the store today.
And it looks like Heroes of the Fleet DLC is out today : http://store.steampowered.com/app/209548/

Time for a new update isn't it ?

Creator Braedon de Grasse 6 days ago

Has there been any word about the T-Shirts? I still haven't received one.

Creator Mark M on May 5

I also haven't received a Strike Suit Infinity code yet.

Creator Gowain on May 2

I got the Lifetime DLC top-up, and I still don't have a code for Strike Suit Infinity. I had to specifically ask about the Raptor, too, before someone sent me a code so I'm wondering if my account isn't properly flagged in your system, maybe? I hope someone can look into this soon. Thanks!

Creator Jin on May 1

To make sure I'm not being too down on BRG - I really like the style (although the ship trails are a bit much at times), the music, the promise of Oculus Rift support, the close integration with the Logitech joystick, the upcoming mod tools, and the level of post-launch support so far (taking an okay game to a good game).

Creator Jin on May 1

For once, I actually agree with the complaints about reneging on the "exclusive" content promise. Day one, the game was available on Steam for less than a quarter of what I ponied up. No early access, no exclusive content (no beta for me - I found out about the Kickstarter a day or two late). As for early-access previews, there's nothing I saw in the updates that I didn't actually get sooner from gaming news sites. I like the game and am happy to support the genre. I understand where Born Ready is coming from; they only alienate up to 1674 ardent fans and can hopefully make more than that amount of dollars back from DLC sales. The loss of the multiple storylines was understandable although it severely hampered replay value, and I'm still hoping the Lifetime DLC will pay out.

I'm still looking forward to what Born Ready Games will do in the future - just disappointed at the ROI of this Kickstarter. Words like "Kickstarter-exclusive Marauder Strike Suit, strictly available to our Kickstarter backers only" shouldn't have fine print that says "also available later, so not really EXCLUSIVE-exclusive."

Creator GeekBoi on May 1

I agree with Pasha Kagan. I wonder if my 25% on steam will not be expired? So I can use that for stacking with the sale prices (75%)? If so, I am happy. I will wait for that sale.

Creator Pasha Kagan on May 1

Hey guys,
I just got two 25% off coupons for infinite. It's not exactly fair that as a backer who has SSZ on Steam I could have got it for 50% off. So, I overpaid due to my hastiness. If I have waited, I could get a bigger discount on Steam.
Take this into consideration please.

Creator Dalton Stephens on April 30

Hey, any word on when the Mac release of the game is coming?

Creator Riddler on April 30

Deepest thanks to BRG for quick response, because I finally got my joystick-package! :) Can't wait to test it.

Creator Switch on April 28

I still haven't received my Maurauder key and have been waiting for it to actually play the game.. any idea when I will receive it?

Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ MGT470 Virtuous Duck Merchant on April 25

Hi all. I'm pretty confident there's a few board gamers here who are big fans of Robotech. So, just in case you haven't heard yet --> the new ROBOTECH RPG Tactics strategy battle game is out on KS!! If you want to learn more follow the link. ;-) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rrpgt/robotech-rpg-tacticstm
@Jamin & BRG. There's a certain challenge in keeping all of us backers happy. I think you've been trying your best & we appreciate your efforts. Please keep at it. ;-)

Creator Mathieu Gouget on April 23

"While Strike Suit Infinity isn’t technically DLC, everybody at the $150 tier and above (and those of you that purchased the Lifetime DLC top up) will be sent a Steam key for the game. On top of this, we’ll be sending 2 discount coupons for the game to ALL our backers."

Best video game studio ever!

Creator Jack Law on April 8

anybody in the XedMod beta? how hard is it to add your own ship into the game?

Creator Imban on April 4

S.D.> I personally despise permanently-locked DLC's, and feel (again, personal opinion), that such ideas are of the same disgusting ilk as launch/release DLC. (...) I applaud Born Ready Games for by relenting in this regard (...)

The problem is that, from another point of view, they get the best of both worlds: the ability to effectively "charge" $30 or $35 for permanently-exclusive Kickstarter DLC, and then turn around and sell it to the masses anyway at the "correct" price. The "fact" (lie?) that it was going to be a permanent exclusive is part of why I pledged at the $50 tier in the first place; not because I like permanent exclusives at all, but because I liked the idea of the game and didn't want to be permanently shut out of content for it even if it meant jumping through a fairly large financial hoop.

That said, because I do despise permanently-locked content, I am (in a way) glad that it's not permanently locked at the same time I feel a bit hard done by. So, well. I'll just keep it in mind for any future games Born Ready Games makes, I suppose?

Creator S.D. on March 31

I personally despise permanently-locked DLC's, and feel (again, personal opinion), that such ideas are of the same disgusting ilk as launch/release DLC. I'm one of those who feel strongly that we should vote with our dollars/pounds & voices to soundly reject such trickery in general, and make those concepts unwelcome on Kickstarter. I applaud Born Ready Games for by relenting in this regard, but it is clear they have a lot of learning to do in terms of PR and consistent messaging (Jamin is learning quickly, though! ). Having five thousand mini-publishers cannot be an easy transition for them, and in this brave new world, a top-notch community manager is as necessary as good legal representation! So, Jamin & BRG... still feel that Kickstarter was the right way to go? ;-)

Along those lines, how goes work on Linux? Care to share a gag reel of in-progress porting work? You could turn your frustrations into our amusement!

Creator Zalusithix on March 29

Yeah, their key sending system could use some work. I got my Marauder right on time, but no Raptor yet. I'm kind of surprised they haven't thrown together a script to take care of the mailings. Doing it all by hand seems a bit tedious and error prone.

Creator Mathieu Gouget on March 29

Same here, Gowain. I sent them a quick message on kickstarter yesterday and I haven't got an answer yet.
I suggest emailing them like so: https://twitter.com/StrikeSuitZero/status/317219978292109312

Creator Gowain on March 29

Are the Raptor keys still going out? I'm expecting one from having purchased the Lifetime DLC top-up, and I still don't have it.

Creator Mark Calhoun on March 27

I would be happy to see the Marauder available to all. I pledged to support the game and I would hate to come later and find out there was cool content I could never have.

Worst case, change the name and the color scheme and keep the stats the same and mass release it.

Creator João Carlos Bastos on March 27

Can you please comment on why you are planning to make available to purchase soon the Marauder Strike Suit (https://twitter.com/StrikeSuitZero/status/311789049000120320), when you clearly mentioned on your campaign: "the Kickstarter-exclusive Marauder Strike Suit -- unavailable anywhere else!"?

I made a financial effort to pledge at a higher tier to get some content that was supposed to be exclusive to this campaign, and again, “unavailable anywhere else!”, just to find out that this is a complete lie.
I find this lack of honesty to your backers very upsetting. You claimed something while looking for supporters/funds, and shortly after you changed your tune.
Had you not mentioned this was Kickstarter-exclusive, and unavailable anywhere else, I would adjust my pledge accordingly.

And for the record, I’m not a fan of exclusive content at all, and usually avoid campaigns that have such content.
But if I pledge for something that is “promised” to me as being exclusive, and thus I’m asked for more money for it, I expect it to be such.
This decision, and the way you’ve been avoiding commenting on this (both here on Kickstarter and on twitter), is very disappointing, to say the least, and I will obviously take this into consideration when considering to purchase or support any further titles or content from you.

Creator The Arrow on March 27

To introduce some variation in the strike-suit key complaining... ;)

How is it going with Linux (and OSX) versions?

Creator Minhduc Huynh on March 27

I also haven't gotten a key for Marauder suit.

Creator Jack Law on March 27

still waiting for my Raptor DLC key....

Creator Archon - Obsidian Order Illusive Man on March 25

No key either.
And I saw this accidentally on twitter after the Raptor appeared on STEAM last Friday:
"Trusty Kickstarter backers -- there's a little something waiting for you in your inboxes. It starts with M and ends with ARAUDER. Get on it. - 4:34 PM - 18 Mars, 13"

That was 1 week ago ! Seriously...

Creator saige on March 25

I haven't received a key for the Marauder Suit yet, or the newer DLC. I do think it's pretty disappointing if they do release the Marauder later.

It also doesn't help that I received the art book today and it was bent in two. I can't say I'm happy that they sent it in a lightly padded envelope that offers little to no protection. Not even a hand written request to not bend it. While I can straighten it out, the bend marks are bad on the cover and spine. They're also evident in the pages of the book as well but luckily not as pronounced in some pages. Very disappointing considering the pledge level to get it.

Creator Dren Sokic on March 24

Didn't get any kind of DLC key yet, not Marauder and not Heroes of the fleet.

Creator Mickaël "Froh" Garcin on March 24

I received the code for the marauder suit, not the raptor one and heroes of the fleet yet.

Creator Mickaël "Froh" Garcin on March 24

I backed at the same exclusivity level, and I don't like "exclusive forever" stuff. Especially digital. So yeah, I don't care about them releasing the DLC later. I'm fine with that.

Creator Battlecry on March 23

I have yet to receive my key for the Marauder Strike Suit and Heroes of the Fleet DLC.

Creator Mark M on March 23

How does the "All Future DLC" work on steam? Should those of us that pledged for that be seeing the Raptor suit as unlocked?

Creator João Carlos Bastos on March 23

It's very upsetting to find out that you lied about the Marauder suit not being available outside of this campaign. To quote your own campaign: "the Kickstarter-exclusive Marauder Strike Suit -- unavailable anywhere else!".
I backed this campaign at a higher tier to get this content, and now I'm finding out this will be available for everybody at a slightly later date:
https://twitter.com/StrikeSuitZero/status/311789049000120320

Not cool.

Creator Jack Law on March 19

got my key today... thanks!!!

Creator Jack Law on March 18

not sure... I haven't got mine yet either

Creator RABBIT9000 on March 18

Are the Marauder keys taking a while to come through the email system? Or am I missing mine?

Creator Jack Law on March 14

the switch priority target button "T" isn't working for me.... is there anyway to remap it?

Creator Matthew Brady on March 11

I realize that TrackIR is not supported, but is there a way to look up/down and left/right with a hat switch on a joystick like other sims? I kind of feel like a horse with blinders on ;)

Creator Roland on March 9

In Mission 11, the description says shield upgrade unlocks if you beat it in 15 minutes. I have resumed from last checkpoint due to crash, and the total mission time was 14:54. The upgrade did not unlock!

Also, I have destroyed black fleet interceptors solely with Titan rockets before, and yet I don't get the steam achivement?

Creator Roland on March 9

Is it just me this game crashes to desktop very often after mission finish. The success rate is lower than 50%. I have to restart at last checkpoint half the time!

Creator saige on March 9

Looking forward to the Marauder suit. Hope it's not going to take even longer since I haven't actually played the game yet as I've been waiting... Also it would be nice to get any news or an ETA for those of us waiting on physical goods.

Creator Jack Law on March 8

just a question; will I get the Marauder suit if I backed /Cadet but top-up to over $50?
