Beta Steam Keys & Prototype Access

Update #13 · Mar 19, 2013 · 66 comments

Hi everyone!

We're thrilled to announce that beta backers should now have access not only to their steam keys, but also to the last version of the prototype! Remember, this version of the prototype is only available to our backers.

If you have already redeemed your key, you can log into your Humble Bundle account and retrieve the steam key from there, at http://HumbleBundle.com/

If you lost your HumbleBundle key, you can use the key re-sender (https://www.humblebundle.com/store/keyresender) to get it back.

We know it's a convoluted process, but it's about the only way to move forward from this point. Everything should be much smoother from here on in. You can also contact us at http://support.castlestory.net/ if you run into any problems along the way.

Remember, we don't only update here! In fact, most of our updates, in the form of the weekly blog, appear over at http://www.sauropodstudio.com/blog/ and we have a very active community as well over at http://www.CastleStoryOnline.com

Thank you all once again for your amazing support and for sticking with us throughout this process! It's people like you that make us happy to deal with the hard stuff!

Your weekly dose of Info : Our plans for the future

Update #12 · Feb 15, 2013 · 29 comments

Hi everybody!

We have a lot of subjects to cover, so I’ll go straight to the point. There should be something interesting for all of you, so scroll away!

Kickstarter rewards form: a reminder

Last week we sent out email forms to every backer who was eligible to receive a physical reward. We would like to remind you, if you’re one of the people in question to fill out the form. Without it, we cannot possibly obtain your address. 

We sent out a form last fall, but this was just to know the general popularity of the different items. So check your spambox! Or if you cannot find the email in question, visit this page: https://backers.castlestory.net/ to resend the email.

If you need any help filling out the form, send us an email at support@sauropodstudio.com.

[...]

This is an excerpt from our blog, we cover many, many subjects, which a lot of you might be really interested in reading. Subjects such as:

  • The next update of the prototype!
  • An upgrade for the Beta backers! (you should really check this one out, actually)
  • Steam updater!
  • New website and the re-opening of pre-sale!
  • and a new dev diary schedule.

See you on the other side!

Hey there!

It's been a while since we posted here, but if you've been following our weekly dev diaries on our blog, you know that we've been hard at work trying to finish up the Kickstarter rewards, at the same time as developing the game.

We now have previews of the t-shirts and poster for you to see!

If you'd like to see the pictures in large format, or even download wallpaper sized version of the posters, please visit our website and read this week's dev diary!

Dev diary monthly summary : September

Update #9 · Oct 1, 2012 · 23 comments

Hello dear backers,

You might have noticed that we stopped posting our dev diaries on Kickstarter. Like we said, we're moving back on our own blog for weekly updates to avoid spamming your emails every week. Instead, we're going to post a monthly summary with all the dev diaries of the month in one palatable update. I hope this format will be a good compromise for everyone!

Also, just so you know in advance, since we plan on releasing the prototype in the middle of this month, you will get updates from us before the next monthly summary.

See you soon!

- The Sauropod Team
