Started Distributing iOS Preorder Codes!
The first two episodes of Saturday Morning RPG will be launching tomorrow, April 5th, on iOS.
With this in mind, we've started distributing preorder codes to our backers who chose iOS on the survey.
The unfortunate news is that we don't have enough codes right now to cover all of the preorders. Apple only allows 50 promo codes per update and we had to distribute 30 of those 50 to review sites, so that only left us with 20 promo codes for Kickstarter.
With that said, I am going to be submitting a new update for the game on either Friday or Monday. It should be approved within the following 10 days and that will give me 50 more codes to distribute.
I am going to do everything I possibly can to make sure that we get all iOS preorders taken care of by the end of April!
"Who is getting the first 20 codes" is what you'll likely ask - we've decided to distribute the codes by date pledged and reward tier. What that means is we're covering the higher pledge amounts first and then prioritizing those based on date pledged.
I've already sent out the 20 codes, and we've covered 4 people from the $25 level - so if you're at that level you should get your code by mid-April.
I'm sorry that the codes have to be distributed this way, but it was the only way we could unlock the paid content for you. Trust me, though, the wait will be worth it.
Also, a note about the version of the game hitting tomorrow. It contains only the first two episodes of the game. We are hard at work right now crafting Episode 3 and should have that out by the end of May. To reiterate, you guys will be getting all updates and new episodes absolutely free!
Another note about the current build: since we submitted to Apple before the Kickstarter campaign ended - no one has been added to the credits. We will rectify that with the first content update to the game (which will also create the next 50 codes).
Also, we've got estimated time frames for the other versions of the game:
- PC + Mac: Winter 2012 (should launch with Episodes 1 - 4)
- Android: Summer 2012 (should launch with Episodes 1 - 3)
- Linux: Uncertain (hinges on when Unity launches the 3.6 version with Linux support)
Thanks so much for all the support you guys have given us! We really appreciate the pledges!

Hey guys!
I was wondering: What's the difference between downloading the game now and downloading with the pre-order code? And, if there is a difference, I may have already downloaded it. Haven't started playing it, yet, though!
