Rayvolution's JGO Appreciation Thread (AKA: Free copies of Retro-Pixel Castles!)

General Discussions
#1

Hey guys, as most of you know Retro-Pixel Castles started it’s life here on JGO, and it’s doing fairly well now. A lot of the foundational exposure and support came from you guys, as did a lot of the drive to keep pushing forward to reach the point the game is currently at. Now the game is going fairly well in Early Access and has brought in enough income to support my day-to-day life. So in large part to you guys and your support, I can now call myself a “Indie Dev” with a decently selling product on Steam.

So, as a thank you, I am giving out free copies of Retro-Pixel Castles to all JGO members who qualify!

Qualification 1:

  • An account over 2 years old, with at least one project.

Qualification 2:

  • An account over 6 months old, with at least 20 posts.

Qualification 3:

  • Anyone with over 100 posts.

The qualifications are really just meant to weed out people from trying to register here just to get a free copy of the game, I’m willing to hand out copies to the rare lurker here and there that doesn’t technically qualify. :slight_smile:

The one and only thing I ask is if you like the game, to please consider giving Retro-Pixel Castles a review on it’s Steam store page, it’s certainly not a requirement, but those reviews really go a long way for me.

To request a key, just reply to this post asking for one. If you qualify, you don’t have to explain yourself. If you don’t just explain why you think you should get a copy anyway. I’ll PM you a Steam key as soon as I get to you on the list if you qualify. :slight_smile:

Awesome, congrats on the success. :slight_smile:

I’ve not really followed the project, but it does look like quite a decent game, and I tend to favor games with elements of strategy. I ought to get around to looking at all the projects people have been working on, past or current.

I’m not much of a gamer, but I’m willing to try it out. My steam account is limited, so I don’t believe I will be able to review it just yet, but I’m more than happy to if I ever buy a game and unlimit it.

#3

I’d love to play the game! I remember when you first posted it, I thought it was a pretty great idea right from the start. Sure evolved from your little path finding demo, eh?

#4

haha, yep. I still have those old builds too, amazing that was only a year ago.

#5

I would like to try it as well. :slight_smile:

Good job on making successful game, especially after seeing for much positive feedback it received on this site since the beginning.

#6

I also would like to try - but I am not qualified by now…
I haven’t registered just now but only have very few post since I am more the forum reader than writer :clue:

#7

Well, you made me bartender in a deserted bar. You owe me. :cranky:

#8

Well, on the bright side, you have a lot of liquor for personal use now?

#9

Damn… I already bought a copy… too late to the party :stuck_out_tongue:

#10

Congratulations on the success, now where’s my free Steam key? :stuck_out_tongue:

#11

I’m not sure if I qualify, but I did always enjoy your progression post for RPC. :slight_smile: When will you continue to post there again?

#12

Close enough! :wink:

I actually still post the major announcements like new patches and important things I post on the Steam store page over there, I just kinda backed off on the constant updates because I thought it would come off as a little spammy since I’ve been so busy I haven’t done as much casual posting lately. :-\

#13

Well, I’ve already got a copy :slight_smile: Where’s my barracks and soldiers!

Cas :slight_smile:

#14

Did… Did I hear… Free :persecutioncomplex:

But seriously, I’m happy that you’re doing well. I will forever be jealous of your art :’(

#15

Actually, I just added the foundational AI code for them in the last update.

They’re still rough around the edges, but there are in fact guards and barracks now. :slight_smile:

#16

I would be interested in playing it.

I didn’t want to buy it for myself yet, because I thought I would wait for it to be nearing completion before I did.

#17

Hey Ray, im a big fan of rpc, can i have a copy too? I will write a review on my blog and steam as soon as i get home :slight_smile:

#18

I remember when you started working on that game, during my practical semester I stumbled into your thread every day ;D

I would also like to play and review your game :slight_smile:
Need something interesting to do after my thesis :persecutioncomplex:

#19

I would love to give the game a try.

#20

Yay! I would very much like a key! =D
