Email tkeene@sandsweptstudios.com if you have not received your code yet.
Creator Iofhua on November 7, 2012
I guess I need a code to download it - I don't seem to have received one (or maybe I lost the email). Could I have my code re-sent to me please?
Creator Iofhua on November 7, 2012
Do $25 level backers get access to the alpha and beta versions of the game? If so, how do I download a copy?
Creator Sandswept Studios on October 31, 2012
- Bronson, We're working on the sound crash bug. It's somewhat common.
- Liam, apparently you picked up a cursed banana. (Ok, we have no idea what that is. Report it on our bug report forum!)
- Niels, Yes, we've sent codes. Email tkeene@sandsweptstudios.com if you have not received your code yet.
Creator Bronson on October 31, 2012
it seems that when the game tries to initialize the sound, it crashes on me, any ideas?
Creator Bronson on October 31, 2012
hmm i downloaded dead linger but ever time I try to run the game it crashes, do I need any specific settings on in the video options?
Creator liam millward on October 31, 2012
XD just got a bug where I picked up a banana and the world went completely dark (not night).
Creator Niels on October 31, 2012
Have all codes for the $50 backers been sent already? Spamfolder empty and mailbox still waiting :)
Creator Kapol on October 30, 2012
Alright, thank you.
Creator Sandswept Studios on October 30, 2012
@Kapol: We are sending the second $50+ codes out today.
Creator Kapol on October 30, 2012
Are $50+ backers supposed to have recieved their second code yet? I got the first one, but never got a second that I can find.
Creator chaz on October 30, 2012
ahh sorry its ok i got it
Creator chaz on October 30, 2012
iv forgotten my user name what should i do?
Creator Sandswept Studios on October 29, 2012
Website should be back up now. You guys killed it, so we just gave it CPR. Should be okay now.
Creator Brian Bautista on October 29, 2012
Any updates on the site being brought back up? really stoked to see how the game has came along.
Creator Stephen "Stoibs" D on October 29, 2012
Oh good, its not just me then. Got the email just then to create an account on their site and use the code, guess it's just being hammered by all the backers.
Creator Jeroen Heijster on October 29, 2012
Before I could find the page to put in the code, the site was down xD
Creator Josh Jordan on October 29, 2012
Of course the website has been crashed lol.
Creator Mike on October 6, 2012
I'm surprised we could actually be playing an Alpha by Halloween, awesome :)
Creator Luke McDiarmid on September 29, 2012
SO K33NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Creator Plaz Yeve on August 8, 2012
I hope that you guys eventually make a port of this game over to OUYA, if it's powerful enough to handle it. I would love to play this on that system.
Creator WeeJocky on July 5, 2012
@Spektyr; At the moment they are aiming for an "in October" release.
Creator Spektyr on June 30, 2012
I'm guessing the June 2012 Estimated delivery is a bit... unrealistic.
Any idea what we can realistically expect?
Creator Sandswept Studios on June 16, 2012
@Brandon Boyd; send an email to contact@sandsweptstudios.com if you have not received the forum medal or DETOUR copy. We'll be sure you get it.
Creator Brandon Boyd on June 16, 2012
Yeah, been a member on the forums for awhile but didn't know about the twitter ill go ahead and follow! Also ive noticed in the Forums i don't have the exclusive medal how do i get that. Since ive pledge 25$
Creator Sandswept Studios on June 15, 2012
@Brandon Boyd; We are working dilligently. Please follow our blog at www.thedeadlinger.com and our twitter (@thedeadlinger) for future updates and information. Feel free to also become a part of our community & forums at www.sandswept.net/forums/!
Creator Brandon Boyd on June 15, 2012
Has there been any updates since the game received its funding?
Creator Veav on June 14, 2012
@Lewis I was going to mention Dead State but I see you're already on there. :D
Creator Lewis on May 29, 2012
I'm actually encouraged to see all the interest in the Day Z mod. TDL's Kickstarter already went very well, and Day Z's success shows that there's a sizable number of players who want something different from their zombie games--not just shooting, but thinking, planning, interacting and surviving. As for competition, good ideas are bound to have company.
Creator Greg "Scorpio" Myers on May 27, 2012
I can't wait to see you guys prove them wrong either! :)
Creator Mike on May 26, 2012
Would've made a good movie line
Well, they're wrong, DEAD wrong
Creator Sandswept Studios on May 25, 2012
@Mike: Well... They're wrong.
Creator Mike on May 25, 2012
I tried DayZ, I think the concept is very cool and the interaction with other players is very interesting as there's no safety at all, so trust becomes and issue. However, it seems like there is little to do other than the most basic survival. I know you can repair vehicles which is cool, but apparently that is very difficult and the vast majority of players will never be able to do it., especially alone. I mentioned The Dead Linger in chat, someone said that he felt it was way too ambitious and they'd never manage to pull it off :).
Creator Gary on May 19, 2012
Hey guys, not rush or anything but ARMA II Day Z MOD beta was released today, you might have a bit of competition on hand. I'll email you a link
Creator Sandswept Studios on May 14, 2012
@Tom Pravetz: Please email Thomas at tkeene@sandsweptstudios.com and he'll sort it out for you.
Creator Tom Pravetz on May 13, 2012
Well... It seems I didn't get my copy... Maybe I typo'd my email address?
Creator Sandswept Studios on May 11, 2012
DETOUR codes have been all sent out. Contact us if you did not receive your's yet (only if you pledged via Kickstarter!)
Creator Niels on May 11, 2012
Have all detour codes been sent out yet?
Creator cris on May 9, 2012
Waiting for detour ;)
Creator Nicholas on May 8, 2012
Got detour! So anxious for TDL though XD
Creator Greg "Scorpio" Myers on May 7, 2012
I got my copy of Detour, thanks guys! Now, if I could somehow get a wizard to turn this game into The Dead Linger, I'd be set! :) Can't wait to give this little game a try, looks fun.
Creator Veav on May 7, 2012
Meanwhile, if you want something to do, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitilus/skyjacker/ has a playable demo up.
Creator Veav on May 7, 2012
@Enony I just got mine. Have patience, they have 4,218 email addresses to work on.
Creator Enonymous on May 7, 2012
Still no email regarding the rewards...:s
Creator LifesContradict on May 7, 2012
Sucks I already had detour... Now people might actually be playing it ;) not a dis. Just never saw anyone on! Still, another copy I wouldn't mind.
Creator Sandswept Studios on May 6, 2012
@Aksel Randomguy Hjerpbakk: Starting to send them out this week!
Creator Aksel Randomguy Hjerpbakk on May 6, 2012
still waiting on detour :|
