Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes My personal preference would probably be a system where you need to go online to register but after that the software will work on your machine anytime (like what Jaws does). Its a fair compromise between security (for the developer) and convenience

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Well Trajectory Supernova does the online activation thing as well then can be used whatever, and I do like that system when its been employed by games like Q9. I can see the constant online thing would get irritating if your not in a position to have good net

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Hi,Yes, this is the ishue with refunds. What Id probably do is create an online system which has to validate the key whenever you run the game and if you get a refund the key is deleted from the list, and the key doesnt work. Of course, that has its own ishues

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Unless your game itself is a primarily online experience anyway... that system is pretty much a Country Folk Not Welcome sign. Lots of people living in rural areas couldnt play your game reliably. At least around here, you go outside the city limits and you get

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Funnily enough the online activation thing is just what has happened with the guide dog system produced by Dentin and used in the Yellowbonit game by valiant galaxy associates, and it does indeed have the problem that you need to be online for it to work

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes @Brad, I wouldnt say its something to feel bad about, indeed if there was actually any insulting or flaming going on over in the psychostrike topic let myself and the other mods know sinse thats obviously out for this forum. As you said, its just a case

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes You can do it with a computer ID based key system as well, even though it isnt implemented as an online registration system. What you do is implement something in to the uninstall service whereby you can remove your registration key, generate an uninstall code

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes The problem with refunds is that in the case of simple name / key based registration systems, the dev doesnt have the ability to effectively cancel the license you bought. Computer ID based registration systems have other caveats, but they allow keys

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes hi.@dark.One of the members of the game psycho strike did respond on the games topic. Not about the refund but about the xp issue being worked on. Which is awesome for you.I do see your point about the game having a demo that gives you about a very good idea

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes One issue that is part of this discussion is the need to create a fully functional demo so that it is possible to make an informed decision about purchasing. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=219216#p219216

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Hi.There is one thing i dont understand. Why is it bad to ask for a refund? I know I wont get one now, since the devs havent responded to anything, but why exactly is that a bad thing? I asked on the topic, and it seemed quite a few audiogamers acted as if Id

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Well at least if the Entombed 2 demo is much like the Entombed 1 demo there should be both a great amount there to play and also a good amount left to spend your money on in the demo vs full game. I cant comment on audio rally racing sinse while I do plan to try

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Well I cant judge the thing sinse Ive never played it thanks to said xp issue, which according to Tom Ward isnt a major fix anyway, (its just a matter of changing some of the properties of their exe file), my top dog status or otherwise not withstanding sinse Im

Learn from my mistakes Hi.This was going to be a rant but then I realized that ranting will get me nowhere and will just start something I dont want to start.All Ill say is this; Check out demos of games before you buy them. That super awesome game you heard about, check its demo

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes yeah. But its not just that one game. Theres been quite a few games Ive regretted buying over the years. I understand they take a huge amount of time to make, and all that. But still I do regret buying most audio games. My problem, and i kneed to stop doing

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes I actually like Psycho Strike, but, I do regret spending $24 on it, especially in the the light that they have thus far, not really said too much in the forums about it. If this is it, no future updates, then yeah, I regret spending the money. The voice acting

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes Moderation! This is still about games, even if tangentially shal be moved. @Ironcross, not said much about psycho strike on the forum? the topic in new releases has several hundred posts on the subject. @Brad, checking demos, or if those arent available manuals

Re: Learn from my mistakes

Re: Learn from my mistakes I mean the devs saying anything answering questions, the like. Hell, they werent even kind enough to look into your issue, and youre one of the top dogs on the forum so what does that say, even if they did it behind closed doors, youd think they would at least
