mace6442 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 That assumes the players most likely to complain are the ones who know what a beta really is.Sadly most seem to believe that beta means finished game these days. Could not agrea more. From my experiance people seem to think Beta is nothing more that a privlidge for better people to test a game before the common people get to go.

Orumo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Chris and rest of the team: Congrats to be in Steam!!! I haven't check the forums the last two weeks and it has been a shock to open today my Steam account and see the game in the shop page. I love this project and I'm very happy to see the goals been reached. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Alright, it's nice to have it on Steam which I leave on all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksi Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Generally i think giving the soundtrack to guys that paid more is always a good idea, if that is not expansive for the game company. Don't know how it works with the law either. I would appreciate if you can buy the soundtrack also as extra if you didn't pay for the ElitePreorder. I often want to buy the soundtrack from a game but it isn't possible or ridicullus complicated which leads to the result that i have to look for alternative ways to get it, although i really want to pay something suitable directly to the developement/composition guys. Well, once the game is out, i will sell the music with tunes not included in the game. The original score will be included with a game purchase. So whoever wants to support the composer and have extra music in the same mood will be able to get that.

Lokik Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 So great to finally have Xenonauts on Steam. Bye bye Desura! The game froze during my first encounter right after I killed the last alien though, so will be waiting for the worst bugs to get ironed out before really starting to test it.

b15h09 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think preorders should have exclusive access to helmets for their squad. If the plebs want helmets, let them pay for DLC. On a serious note, big grats to Goldhawk on going on Steam. Been great watching you guys grow and progress over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 No, not helmets, hats. Goldhawk should sell dozens of hats that the squadmembers can wear. They would have no bonuses, they would just look cool. It's a very "Steam-like" thing to do. Aleksi, to clarify, the game will come with the Original Soundtrack, including all the music that is in the game, but there is more music you composed that won't be included because those tracks weren't included in the game, and you'll be selling those separately? Personally, I'd sell them as a bonus disk in a bundle, so after I get the main Xenonauts soundtrack I can buy your bonus disk and have Xenonauts Disk 2 add on with minimal changes, if any (I use iTunes, if that makes my comment make more sense). Anyway, regardless of how you sell them, I'm excited to support you, and to get more awesome music. Thanks Aleksi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rp03ev Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Personally, I knew that Premium wouldn't have tons of stuff with it. I just wanted to support the game. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though we didn't talk with Chris yet about a bundle. I guess we'll see that once the game is launched. I didn't figure out the price yet for selling the soundtrack on my own, but it will be cheap. I still don't know how much music i'll put in yet. I'll look at all that once all the music is done. The best option would be to have the possibility of including the music in the game, so you can have more diversity. I will think of something. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.out Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hey folks Nice thingy you have going here ! I pre-ordered and just used my steam key. How's the linux port coming ? I assume it's not done yet, as my SteamApps/Xenonauts folder is empty post installation ? Kinda irritating because it's listed as linux game already.

gregopet Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hey guys, anyone have success getting the latest betas from Steam on Linux? I downloaded the Desura version (and I'm having a blast playing it!) but I'd love to test the newer builds as well, especially as I'm reading about shields, grenade fixes and other goodies here on the forums I entered the access code for betas and chose the Experimantal branch, but still no content gets downloaded. I tried removing and reinstalling the game, but no luck. Has anyone had more success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregopet Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Update: I checked Steam log files and they contain the following (app 223830 is Xenonauts as other lines from the same log file indicate, I presume 223833 is the experimental branch's ID? Or a typo in a config file causing the whole thing to fail in the first place?): [2013-07-23 09:32:45] Scheduler update appID 223830: Priority First, legacy=no, restore=""[2013-07-23 09:32:45] AppID 223830 state changed : 0x00000102 = Update Required,Update Running,[2013-07-23 09:32:45] AppID 223830 state changed : 0x00010102 = Update Required,Update Running,Reconfiguring,[2013-07-23 09:32:45] Missing encrypted manifest section for depotID 223833[2013-07-23 09:32:45] Invalid manifest for depotID 223833, branch "Experimental", skipping depot It then switches to the non-experimental branch and happily concludes that the game is installed (as the stable branch contains no files), providing no error message.

Chris Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Gregopet - no, Mac / Linux versions on Steam don't work. You need to get them from Desura or Humble Store at the moment (you should have access to one of those two). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregopet Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have access to the Desura store, but it only has V18. Is there no way then to get the latest builds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
